You need to find £1 flights for this current offer. Check your departure airport to see which destinations have the £1 flights.

Having said that £10 for a flight seems a good deal

I have been unable to find any special offer fares that don't charge the online booking fee - for example:

SPECIAL OFFER
Depart:
Girona (Barcelona) 15:15
Arrive:
Bournemouth 16:10
1xAdult0.00GBP
Fare: 0.00GBP
Online Check-In: 5.00GBP
Taxes / Fees: 5.00
GBPTotal Price: 10.00GBP

Surely this is false advertising, even Martin's acticle confirms:

"However, if you book a flight during one of these special 'free/1p', '£1' or '£5' flight promotions, the online check-in fee will be waived."

Has anybody else had better luck?

Note that the current promotion now (the 10th and the 11th of June) for Girona IS £10 (if you look at the front page for Stansted) and that does include all compulsory charges. Whether Ryanair put the £10 into Fare only or split into taxes and charges and put fare to 0 is really of no interest from a advertising law point of view (and from my point of view either).
The point is that you can actually buy the product for the advertised price...

Got return flights for two from Newcastle to Dublin last night August bank holiday weekend, out very early saturday, back very early Tuesday so don't need to miss any work for £4.

Don't have a visa electron so used entropay to create a virtual electron debit card (I think the article should mention this as another option to avoid the charges!) for a cost of 50p per £10 loaded onto the virtual card, total costs for flights £4.50 for two people return!

Chuffed to bits as this is a route we do around 6 times a year to see OH's family, and usually costs us around £70-£90 after all the charges!

I just spent a lot of my time looking at this to try and find cheap flights - THERE AREN'T ANY!! The taxes they add on are incredible. Like £90. If it was £30 i wouldn't mind.
But why are you supporting such a misleading offer??????????

Because many of us got the £2 return flights. In fact many of us have even got free flights in the past

I found a £0 flight with £10 taxes so the total figure should be £20 return for 2 of us but the checkin fee of £20 is being added briging it up to £40. I had though the checkin fee was being waived?

only on the flights as specified in the offer-in this case £1 flights only

If you try to fly Friday or Sunday, you will very, very rarely find these dates are covered on the offers. We're getting around this by flying 7am on Saturday morning, and coming back 6.30 am on Tuesday morning, so our final price paid to Ryanair was very much £4, no taxes, charges, fees etc at all.

We grabbed one of the £1 Ryanair flights at the end of May from Bristol to Pau Pyrenees. As I had opened a basic Co-op bank account a few months ago just to get an Electron card, and we put all our clothes in 1 suitcase and had 1 cabin bag each, it only cost £34 return for 2 people as I made sure the particular flights I chose had no additional airport taxes. So just take care when booking that you check in everything on line and use an Electron card. Regarding cabin luggage, be aware that any handbag or duty free bought must fit into your 1 allowed free bag - they do check! We had a great week's holiday and the low fare saving went towards our car hire so we could drive through the Pyrenees into Spain. I don't like Ryanair's policies but can't complain at that price!

Coming back from Dublin last time they checked absolutely everyones bag to see it fit in the size specified for hand luggage, and best of all made me put half of a sandwich I was in the middle of eating into a packet and into the case as it was classified as a second piece of hand luggage!
