Ryanair new website -"Find Lowest Fares" option

On the old Ryanair website there used to be an option at top of page to "Find Lowest Fares", which would give all fares up to 20 days Out & Return, between your earliest & latest departure dates.

So you could see up to 20 days worth of fares to select the cheapest days to travel.

This option has disappeared on new website & I cannot see if has moved anywhere else.

Is the "Find Lowest Fares" option on the new website somewhere ??

    Answer not in any thread.

    They appear to have done away with it.
    The most it shows now is two days even after ticking the "my dates are flexible"
    When you get the two day price up,instaed of a link saying "next day" there`s only a box to click saying "next WEEK"

    The whole site is now crap and it`s deliberately made impossible to find the lowest fare.
    Surprise,surprise.

    It's all smoke and mirrors with Ryanair as usual.

    Allegedly the website was closed down because it didn't comply with regulations regarding pricing , i.e displaying 1p fares plus a wodge of tax and other charges on top would be a thing of the past and fully inclusive fares would be diosplayed , like easyJet do for example.

    Lo and behold , the new website is....exactly the same as the old one.

    Seemingly the OFT and ABTA are not happy with them as they have not complied with the ruling regarding showing the fares including tax. However Ryanair have responded by saying they have complied but obviously they haven't.

    They have been coming up with excuses as to why they can't comply for months, looks like they will keep the excuses coming for a while yet

    I think Budgetflyer has given us the answer, but it`s pretty obvious that Ryanair doesn`t want you to find the lowest fare, and with their new site up and CRAWLING,it`s virtually impossible.

    Wonder how long before they withdraw from the "flight checker" on this site.

    I`ve always been a great Ryanair fan but the latest moves are just blatant slap in the face,take it or leave it.

    The only good thing that I can see that has come out of the "upgrade" of the site is you can now (hand luggage only) print your passes for up to FIVE days and 4 hours instead of the previous TWO days.

    BTW Easyjet have got a 25% off sale `til this Tuesday.

    Sorry! In my view the whole sorry saga is in that thread!

    They have been changing the site all week.

    First the whole lot disappeared. Then it came back with flexible dates for a week or so, now it's down to the two days.

    It's in their own best interest to show a range of options or they won't get the casual buyers.


    EDIT: 1.3.2008 - flexible dates now back to 6 on each flight with more available when clicking next or previous week.

    That has already happened on Skyscanner.

    It says Fares include taxes, fees & charges but when you select one of these flights, it shows then adds on taxes and fees.
