Ryanair question

Anybody know why I can't find a return flight for October? I've tried different airports, I can get an outgoing flight but no return. This is not just today, i've tried a few time over the past month?

I can get an outgoing one for a penny, but whatever date I put in to return, and even changing airports it says nothing available?

    Are you trying to book a flight much later in the month? It could be that those flights haven't yet been released. Not sure about Ryanair but this happens quite a lot with Easyjet as October is the change over from summer to winter timetables.

    The flights are only a few days apart, but they are at the very end of October, so maybe they havnt been released yet? Anyone know when they do?

    It must be that, i've just searched on ryanair all over the place. It still gives me outgoings, but not incoming. Now I just need to find out when they are released!

    Oh, another question! Would a be better off booking the outgoing now as it is still cheap, and hope that I get the one back?

    Just booked 4 flights to Barcelona from Liverpool and back.
    Found another British pay more scenario.
    If I book the flights as two singles the price of the 'return' from Barcelona is £70 cheaper. How on earth do they get away with this? Same flight but £70 extra for the privilege of being a Brit. Can anyone tell me if they are within their rights to do this? I hope they don't turn me away at the airport in Spain when I turn up with my 4 singles to the UK.

    Dont worry about it I have done this many times before. You are doing nothing wrong it is just "rip off britain" again.

    Noticed that when trying to get online train fares most times 2 singles are cheaper than a return.

    I also got a return on the eurotunnel cheap as chips that was meant for "French addressee's only". They never asked for an address so booked it all in french - nae bother there either.

    The winter schedule usually runs from around 25 October — flights tend to be released in June, July and August...
