    There any of these cheap flights left? and how do you get the 2p flights?

    I've just booked a Newcastle-Dublin day trip for 2p. Going in late September on a Tuesday, it seems there are more bargain fares on weekdays.

    Ryanair is taking people for a ride - literally !!!

    Last Wednesday I tried to book a return to Bergamo (don't let Ryanair tell you it's Milan) for October. It showed availability, but when I went to pay, the system said that the number of seats I required were no longer available. This evening, I checked again, surprise surprise, the correct number of seats are available for 1p each way, but when I select them the price jumps to £184.10, because taxes etc are now added to them. This appears to be a con. I'm sorry, but I wouldn't pay more than 1p to fly on this poor airline.

    :rotfl:

    Fortunately, where I want to be is 100k south of Milan - Bergamo is actually very nice - I can recommend Iseo -much much much better than Lake Garda.

    As other people have explained the cheap 'web fares' attract tax but the 'regular fares' don't. It's all in this thread if you care to look through it.

    I agree about misleading airport names, Girona is not 'Barcelona', it's a good 50-60 miles up the coast!

    The point I'm making is that in this case it appears to be misleading - why wasn't there any "1p" seats available last week, when now there's shed-loads?
