    Got 4 x £10 tickets Glasgow-Paris at £10 each.

    Well, actually, as with Ryanair by the time you add baggage charges and credt card £15 each but not bad.

    Have you noticed it's impossible to book WITHOUT baggage on Ryanair? With 4 of us I only need 2 bags but if you put 0 bags against a pax they charge you £2 each for 'priority boarding'

    Velly clever Mr O'Leally!

    Its also 13 euro EW pp on the bus from Beauvais to Paris ( stop is at Congress/Port Mailot)
    You are better booking, paying online + printing off your return bus ticket as there is normally a Q for tickets.
    Info is available at my Unofficial ryanair destination guide to Paris

    You can cancel out the £2 charge.The link is hidden away in some text that pops up just above the remove insurance link when you select 0 bags
    You have selected our Online Check-In/Priority Boarding service, passengers who qualify for this service can avoid check-in queues and be priority boarded onto the aircraft. Don’t forget to check-in online from 2 days up to 4 hours prior to the scheduled flight departure time. Click to [URL="javascript:assignSelect('1','BAG0','0 Bags');calcBaggage('1');viewCheckinDetails('1');"]Remove[/URL] this service and just travel with 0 bags.
  • Just got flights to Spain 1p and taxes out and 1 cent and taxes back end of Sept/early Oct Seville and Granada
    Total £20 for 2 outbound and card fee of £1-80 and £4 for priority boarding with just hand luggage.
    On the return only 1 cent and taxes so for 2 just 20 euros and 2 euros card fee and 6 euros for priority boarding.
    Many thanks for tip

    Whilst I'm all up for saving money, I'd urge people to think twice before booking with Ryanair - they have some of the worst employment practices going, and the company is run by a megalomaniac. Personally, I wouldn't fly Ryanair if they were paying me, but that's my choice. There's raw money saving and there's doing the right thing. For me, this is in the former.

    Kev...your havin' a laff........wasn't so long ago the big airlines of Europe were shaftin the whole of the population.........and still providing a crap service.

    If they were such bad employers.....why aint they got no employees?...huh????

    THE most profitable airline in the EU.......

    i ve booked to go gerona from east midlands in august for £20 x 4...anyone know if ryanair will allow you to take your child in their buggy to board the plane and any charge for taking pushchairs? i have already booked with no bags to check in, can i add it to my booking on line or on the phone after confirmation? hadnt realise it would be cheaper to pre-pay so be gutted to end up paying £20 more than i would've had to. Ah well roll on august...i ve never had a holiday in august before so still chuffed with the price i got.

    It's even cheaper if you book each leg separately rather than as a return ticket. The return tickets are £10 each way, but if you book them separately it's £10 outbound and EUR10 for the return leg.

    Just booked me and my boyfriend a day trip to dublin from Birmingham Airport

    Booked Dublin to Birmingham first in Euro's:
    E20 = £13.80

    Then Booked Birmingham to Dublin in £:
    £20

    No booking fee was charged as we used a Visa Electron card we had lying around somewhere which is the only card that does not have charges. Made sure we clicked off all the charges for booking online and bags therefore the total was:

    £33.80 total
    £16.90 per person!!


    Thank you very much Ryanair :D - shame there are no other flights from Birmingham as Dublin is the only destination.
    Mortgage as Sept 2012: £96,000
    Mortgage free: When i'm 39 / Sept 2023

    Mortgage repayment = £588
    Tracker Rate 1.99% above base: 2.49%
