    So long as you have to check in one bag and can use a debit card online to pay(charge is £1 for each leg of journey, or £3 for Credit Card), rtn cost of all Ryanair 1p flights is always £40, fullstop.


    errr no. 1p flight promotions are just that. everytime they ran it they were always 1p including tax and booking charges. you of course still have to add on luggage and airport-checkin if you need them - but ive always just flown with hand luggage and therefore always on 1p.

    Agree with lynn44, that is absolute rubbish.

    Where do some people get their information?!
    Gone ... or have I?

    But why bother with checked in baggage? Hand baggage is fine, and as you get 'Priority boarding' there's plenty of room to stuff your bag!

    1p they charge and 1p is what I pay!

    Taking something of fixed size makes that difficult.
    Do you pay no taxes at all? - absolutely nothing beyond the 1p each way?
    Surely you pay CC or Debit card charge?

    So because you booked two flights with them, it must apply to everyone? :rolleyes:

    The price depends on the offer on at the time of booking. There have been numerous occasions where the flight has been 1p only.

    Always best to check your facts before making such a sweeping statement like you did before.

    no tax, no cc, no debit card charge everytime they ran this promo! 1p is 1p :T
  • Is there a charge for hand luggage that you keep with yourself at all times?

    There is no charge for hand luggage. Ensure you select 0 bags for this and web or online check-in in so that no extra charges are added to your booking.
