Good spot, was looking yesterday at the same offer but 10 euro each way, even more tempting now.

Friend of mine has a visa debit or electron card and the booking fee is only 1.50 per person per leg, would make these 5 euro return per person

I will check out the Ryanair site later tonight, looking to head to Berlin in Oct for a few days.............

Our man in Havana

I got flights to Manchester in March for free, taxes fixed at €10 per person. Not a bad deal imho.

Hmm_Messiah

on the offer a few weeks back got 3 return flights to Paris for 6 euro

no charge for VISA electron

Spunge

what are these return card charges

Our man in Havana

€10 per person for a return ticket.

Its a Visa Debit card, like Laser.

So you wouldn't be able to use that option for a normal Visa Card?

Our man in Havana

Nope.

Visa electron is very hard to obtain in Ireland.

daftdave

halifax do em

Our man in Havana

That would be visa debit which is not visa electron.

getoffthepot

Does anyone know if there is an option on the Ryanair website to view more than one days flights.
On the old site there was a 'find lowest fares option' and one could view +/- 20 days fares at a glance.
There was a 'my dates are flexible' option in the search when the site was upgraded and one could view 7 days at a glance but this doesn't seem to work anymore.

Anyone ?

Our man in Havana

You can only look at one days flights at a time, unless you open multiple windows.

getoffthepot

Why did they discontinue the multiple days view?
Surely this is a backward step.

Our man in Havana

Micheal O' Leary must have a good reason for doing so. I would say it is to discourage searching for the cheapest flights.

gymnipities

The Visa debit card that you can get from Halifax used to be subject to low charges but now debit cards are charged the same as credit cards. Ryanair have dispensed with the pretence that these charges had something to do with costs and now they're just blatant charges for no good reason.

Our man in Havana

For sure, charging €20 cc charge on a fare of €40 is madness.

You can still do it. You just have to click "book now" on the top toolbar and once in that link check the box which says your travel dates are flexible.

Here is the direct link. http://www.bookryanair.com/SkySales/FRSearch.aspx?culture=EN-IE&pos=HEAD

Edit:
Hmmm, doesn't seem to be working at the moment, it was last week though so I would imagine it is more a glitch than a policy.

Its not policy - its what happens when you move your system to a microsoft platform - everything starts to fall apart... so they had to turn off some features to lessen the load on the hardware...

Just booked flights to see a friend in spain. Dublin - Madrid, then returning Vallodolid - London - Dublin. €27 after everything.

People complain about ryanair way too much.

mobpd

I think my pal who flew Ryanair from Doncaster to dublin last week and were delayed FIVE hours whilst a replacement airplane was sought has good reason to complain about Ryanair. No information given during the delay.

kingaaa

I can live with the calvary charge for seats, the over the top c/c charges and the flagrant market-stall sales tactics while on board, but these offers never seem to be applicable to dates I want to go away! I just tried Malaga for 3 nights in october thurs-sun and it works out at nearly 300 yoyo's each.

It's the people who complain about them all the time and still use them that bug me.

But yeah I'm always wary of connecting flights with ryanair. I'm booking a second flight late in the day from London to Dublin. €6 it costs, might as well have a back up if my flights from Spain is delayed.

Actually Visa Electron is more of a Debit card than Visa Debit, Electron requires 100% of the money to be available on debit, Visa Debit can overdraw.

Visa Electron doesn't work in alot of places as alot of terminals cant check if you have sufficient funds at the time of purchase.

Boo hoo,

I've been delayed at some stage or another with Aerlingus, KLM, Lufthansa, BA, BMI, Easyjet, Wizzair ... i could go on and on and on .. its the way it is and the fact is Ryanair WANT to be on time, they lose money when the plane isn't in the air.

Similar to American Express then...?

Our man in Havana

Yes, but visa electron is accepted in more places than American express.

At these prices its worth it to book for a good few hours early or even a day to be sure you don't miss a connection - at a tenner, you could well afford a gheap hotel as well and still save money.

I need to go from Dublin to Doncaster in Oct - think I will have to decide on my days for definite and get booking!

I just booked two flights home from London. Supposed to get into London at 12.30. Original flight supposed to leave London at 15.45. Booked the last flight out of London that day too for another €6. Unless the Original flight from Valladolid is completely cancelled (or I miss it), I'll be fine.

Anyways, I'll be very surprised if I don't make the 15.45 flight, but there's no harm in having a €6 insurance policy.

Ryanair always quote very good figures but if you look at www.flightstats.com you see different numbers, I have never seen Ryanair define what 'on time' means but I'd be surprised if it means what you think it means ;-)

I've flown Ryanair over 50 times in the last few years and have never been delayed more than an hour. Normally I've landed early... So I'd be more inclined to believe their own figures.
