    Beauvais is about an hour and 15 mins from Paris BTW and 15 Euro single

    Damage limitation.
    Is it the same price pp for 1 flight as it is for 5 ? If the price jumps up for 5 book maybe 2 at lower price then final 3 flights. sometimes saves a tenner or so.

    Ryanair are now more trouble than they're worth. They've always added as many extras as possible, massively inflating the start price, but now with all that messing putting those distorted letters in before you can even get a price, I've just given up on them. They say you can listen to the codes if you can't see them, but what if you're deaf, like me?

    They're not even cheap anymore. Two flights end February to Lanzarote from Liverpool cost almost £700, without a suitcase - and that was off peak, i.e. not a school holiday date

    Can't be bothered with them now.

    Liverpool to Lanzarote on 28 Feb, returning 6 March is showing as £144.88, so less than £290 for two people.

    That's not a bad fare for a booking four days before flying.

    How do you reach the figure of "almost £700 without a suitcase"?

    Zaksmum. Thats what skyscanner is for. They do all the searching, show you a whole month of prices and you cherry pick your dates and then go onto Ryanair to complete the booking.

    BTW Skyscanner are fully authorised to screenscrape the Ryanair website.
    For booking they provide a direct link to Ryanair.

    BTW2 If you think Ryanair is hard, try booking a flight on Avios :mad: :):D
