Hi anyone know how often Ryanair offers v cheap flights throughout the year? We want to go to Cork (from London) in one of school hols next year but not the summer break. Have all the cheap deals already finished or a reasonable chance they could offer last minute deals? We rarely fly so I haven't a clue.

I know there's no guarantees but anyone using Ryanair on this route frequently or in the know generally? Don't know whether to book Feb now at more money that I'd hoped would cost or wait til later in case cheaper deals for any of the hols before summer. We are on a very, very tight budget but coaches etc out as have young children.

any info at all really really appreciated
TIA

Don't know about London but we fly Liverpool to Cork 5 or 6 times a year, cheap flight offers come up every couple of weeks, but the offers vary, £1 flights, £5 flights £10 flights etc. The offer is usualy valid for the following 2 to 3 months. If we want the cheap flights we usually book Thursday to Monday, but if you need to fly on specific dates or want to go on a Friday check out other airlines such as Aerlingus or BMI baby.

Hope that's some help?

Sorry forgot to say - sign up for their email newsletter, then you'll get to know when the cheap flights are on.

I thought school holidays usually were blacked out, meaning promotion prices would not be available.

They are usually headlined as blacked out but I have had a couple of promo flights during half-term, so always worth trying the dates you want rather than rely on the offer page.

thanks , have already tried all possible airlines/routes and nothing cheap enough. Were going to take car on ferry but they don't sail to Cork any more and no crossings from Jan to July, although have Sept to early Jan which has flumoxed me somewhat!

I'm looking to book flight on the current 1 million seats at £5 offer on the ryanair site and I can't get it to work! I'm travelling in january, after the blackout period ends, the site is showing birmingham to prague as £5 but when I go to book the taxes and charge are being added. Also, if there is a £5 charge for online check in, can I check in at the airport free?I have a feeling the answer will be no, but I don't understand how they can charge for something you have to do,charging to pay by credit card, take bags etc is a bit different as you don't have to do these. Can anyone help?

I can't find any £5 flights for you I'm afraid you may need to look at another destination for a £5 flight. If you find the offer flights there will be no added taxes or online check in charge.

I was in Malaga at half term (english) for a £2 flight so they do sometimes allocate these flights free also. Most airporst are all using online check-in for Ryanair, I dont think you can select check-in by person anymore and if you can it will be a lot more than £5. The promotional flights wil have free online check in and no taxes/charges.

Ok thank you both for your help. We aren't fixed to specific dates or even locations so we'll have another look around!

just out of interest, how far in advance did you book?
