    Do you any info. for the new Seville base? Will more routes be added from there?

    From the horse's mouth...
    Ryanair, the World`s favourite airline, today (Thursday, 22nd July 2010) announced it would open its 44th base at Seville in November 2010 with two based aircraft and 29 routes (including 10 new routes, which go on sale tomorrow). Ryanair will offer over 250 weekly return flights to/from Seville in an investment worth over $140 million in the airport.

    Ryanair`s 10 new routes from Bari, Eindhoven, London Gatwick, Marseille, Palma, Paris, Santiago, Valencia, Venice Treviso, and Zaragoza will increase Ryanair`s traffic at Seville to 1.5m passengers p.a. which will create and sustain 1,500 well paid local jobs.

    Ryanair celebrated its new Seville base, two new aircraft, 29 routes and 1.5m passengers p.a. by releasing 500,000 €3 seats for travel across its European network for travel in September and October which are available for booking on https://www.ryanair.com from midnight tonight until midnight Monday (26th July).

    However from UK Airport News, bad news about routes UK - Murcia...
    Ryanair announced on Tuesday that seven routes they operate from the UK to San Javier airport in Spain will be stopped from the winter schedule. Those routes are from Birmingham, Liverpool, Bournemouth, Glasgow, Leeds, East Midlands, Luton. The only two flights which will continue throughout the winter are those between San Javier and Dublin and Stansted.

    A Ryanair spokesman said the reason the flights stopping was that the regional government of Murcia have been unwilling to negotiate a deal it. He said this will mean that 120,000 fewer passengers will fly into Murcia this winter, and 76 weekly flights will not operate.

    So if you can see any remaining £3 fares for travel in September today, book them before midnight!
  • Sorry if I'm being a bit thick, but are you saying the best day to book is Monday or is that only if there's an upcoming sale? Any advice re best time to book gratefully received. Every time I look the flights just go up and up.
    Thanks.

    Ryanair always have a sale running; the flat fare or discount, routes and validity changes twice a week, usually on Tuesday morning and Thursday morning. You can see which routes are included in the sale by clicking http://www.ryanair.com/en/fares-to-europe and selecting your home airport.

    Ryanair only put on promotion fares for travel in the next two to three months. These rolling sales are used to fill up spare capacity a few months out. Buy a flight before or after this rolling window of sales, and you could miss the best fare.

    It all depends where and when you are travelling. If you are looking for a seat on an extremely popular or slightly longer sunshine route, you may never see these promotions on your route. When you buy is a decision you have to make based on the prices you've seen for your route up to now.... watching ryanair.com is your best trick.

    This is the first instance of fares in November 2010 being included in the promotion. If you can see a flight you want in September for £5 (the current promo that ends at midnight) then bag it now.

    Until midnight tonight:

    When Ryanair offer an "up to __%" sale, it usually means that sale fares are up to __% cheaper than the preceding fixed price sale. This sale followed a £10 sale, so in most cases this would sale fares mean as low as £7 (30% off £10).

    From midnight tonight: Tuesday 17/8 to Thursday 19/8. Either Ryanair are getting wise to this sale prediction ruse, or they are reusing promo animated gifs from previous weeks.

    Now how did you get that? I tried yesterday (although in the morning I think) and it came back "page not found" so I assumed they had blocked the loophole. I went ahead and purchased anyway and saved the princely sum of £2 - the £8 tickets were £7 yesterday as you say.
