    I'm not sure so don't take the chance and transfer over £11 :)

    I don't know how any of you can attempt to justify this b
    nonsense. If the fees and expenses and taxes are £52.27 and it's obligitory if you want to travel then to say the flight is £2.79 is a lie. It bares no relation to the actual cost. Anyone that tries to say its not at the very least misleading must have an interest in Ryanair.

    Again, I refer you to our Ryanair Top Tips thread.

    The total price is displayed before confirming your booking. Seems fair to me.

    OK - pay around £200 more and travel Air France with a change in Paris.

    Funnily enough, the people that can complain about Ryanair's way of doing things are often the ones that simply can't afford to fly Air France/et al.

    how did you get priority boarding so cheap? I'm looking to book flights and it's £6 per person return. Also on the packing front we manage 2 weeks holiday abroad with just hand-luggage - so long as there's a washing machine when we get there

    I booked four months ago, perhaps that's why :confused: But you're right, if I booked it now it comes out as £6 return per person. Still half as cheap as Easyjet which is £6 each way.

    For those that want to get flights to somewhere that the RyanAir sale doesn't cover:

    Ibiza, Mallorca, Malaga, Morocco, infact most of Spain etc...

    You can book a cheap flight to somewhere (eg Marseille, Milan etc) and then a connecting flight to the destination as per this list:

    www dot ryanair dot com /member/suboffer.html?n=n

    (I can't post links)

    Book the second flight from that link and it should cost you €5 each way + £6 for the first flight atm.

    Does anyone know when October/November flights from Glasgow Prestwick to Bournemouth will be showing on Ryanair?

    I need to book a flight for my dad from about the 19th October to about the 3rd November.

    Any help would be gratefully received!

    Flights stop next week (15th July). I think there are a few routes finishing up although I haven't seen any publicity about it.

    This is obviously an advertising ploy as we all know. I have checked a flight to Rome in Sept and after they added taxes etc. £90 BA was £60 and with Ryanair you have a 15k baggage limit and no food. We go BA whenever we can, I would rather pay a bit more than travel in misery. The answer is to look around and do not be taken in by this con.

    It's not a con, nobody is forcing you to book with Ryanair.
