    But it's the £5 flights you need to look for which INCLUDE taxes and charges and online booking. The most noteable extras would be any hold baggage but 10KG of hand luggage is allowed and card charges (which can be avoided if you have a Prepaid Mastercard e.g. FairFX card).

    With other airlines you would not actually be able to fly for £5 each way.
  • Can ayone tell me if i can still pay for Ryanair flights through the Entropay virtual thingy? Thanks

    Teehee, the cheapest way to do a round trip from Liverpool to Luton is by plane, via another country 0_o

    Even at an optimistic 10mi/£1 that's still...

    Plane

    Luton --(£5)--> Dublin --(£5)--> Liverpool

    Don't forget the extras if you're disabled and are you still allowed to go to the toilet without paying?

    There is no charge for using the toilets. They do plan to charge for the use of the toilets on very short flights (I think less than an hour) so they can get more passengers on board. I realise there may be a few people who can't manage to not go to the toilet for an hour but it won't be many.

    As for disabled - you could argue that if you are short sighted you need to pay for eye tests and glasses, if you have bad teeth you need to pay for more dental work. More people seem to criticise Ryanair than anything else when it comes to charges. Ryanair do tend to work on the premise that if you want to use more of their facilities then you pay for them.

    What a load of CRAP !!! Typical Ryanair.....had a look....flying from GLA..... the £5 fair to Ibiza is strangely between 21.99-99.99 each way !!!! Hmmmmmmmm

    More false advertising ???? tried various dates between April and May !!! If anyone can find it for a fiver....i bow to your superior hunting flight skills.... :mad:

    I stand corrected....about 4 dates have popped up in April...magically out of the blue....the rest are all inflated prices....aw well.....i will go without.

    Amazing what you can find if you look a little bit more.
