    Thought the website said available until midnight Friday. In my understanding that is tomorrow at midnight, as in 1 minute after 11.59pm Friday, not midnight Thursday night. Seems the deal has now stopped and is replaced by 1p plus taxes.

    :idea: If you are struggling to find the penny flights on the Ryanair site then try using The FlightChecker on this site (look to the right>>>>>>).
    You select an airport, click any destination, put in the date ranges then ask it to find all flights under £1 including taxes. It will immediately find all of the penny flights.

    Penny flights to Dublin from Durham are only showing available on Mondays.

    This just isn't working for me, according to those rules, if you travel after Monday 12pm and come back before Thurs 12pm, your not charged taxes. So when I put in Monday 17th Dec, at 3.55pm, and come back on Wed 19th Dec at 10pm ish, it should be eligible? But it shows taxes??

    p.s if anyone could help me asap as I need to go out in ten minutes and i'll miss the deadline!

    thanks
    I should think this is because the blackout dates for Xmas start on Dec 18th, before the date you want to return, try a few days earlier?

    It is still available, the dates you are looking at are likely to be on an excluded date/ route, hence the taxes.
    Gone ... or have I?
  • Usual game rules apply... the easiest way to find the flights is Martins flightchecker on this very site, for example...

    http://flightchecker.moneysavingexpert.com/cheap-flights_london%20-%20all-any_return/1-dec-07_8-mar-08/between/1-pounds#search


    At Ryanair to find the "free" ones click the "Find Lowest Fair" button on the left of the home page. Some prices have no taxes, others do... use "REG FARE" instead of "WEB FARE"

    When booking at RyanAir, on the Passenger Details page

    1. Select "0 bags online checkin/priority boarding"

    2. In the drop-down country box change UK to "No Travel Insurance Required"

    Remember for check-n-go you also need to check-in online for the return flight, if you're only going for a day or one night you can do this before you go otherwise you'll need to find internet access out there (or pay £4 and use the check-in desk coming back). If doing a day trip take into account the airport might be a fair old bus ride from the quoted city (ryanair do tell you about this on the destination pages).

    And paying with a debit card has lower charges.
  • I've just booked a day trip to Dublin for a family of 5 for 10p on 18th December. Many Thanks to OP:j
