Ryanair €4 to Europe, €1 to UK

Saruman

Ah just looking at revenue site

A rate of €2 will apply where the flight is to a destination located not more than 300 kilometres from Dublin Airport. This covers all flights within Ireland and flights to the following locations in the UK: Cardiff, Glasgow, Prestwick, Liverpool, Manchester, Blackpool and Isle of Man.

A rate of €10 will apply to flights to any other destination.

So London is €10

For whatever reason, ryanair aren't charging it. €8 return is all I paid.

Any ideas the best way to find cheap hotels? Im sure Hotels.com and the likes add on their own fees.

To anyone sitting on the fence about this a group of us went to Liverpool in February on a one night session and stayed in the formule1. The whole thing, flights, room, food and drink cost us less than a night out in Ireland and the clubs stay open later!

Hostels ftw. Cheap and cheerful.

Does it have to be paid at the airport I wonder, though if you check in online I can not see how unless its part of the check in process online.

Thanks for letting me know!! They dont make life easy,do they!!!

The person I hope to stay with in London lives in Edmonton so I'll try look for cheap flights to Stanstead. Wish me luck, they really screw you with the taxes dont they?!

Best I've found yet is €160 return to Stanstead. Is this good or could I do better??

:rolleyes:

I hope its not that they are forgetting (as someone previously said) to add the €10 tax. I assume its intentional.

The flights are clearly advertised as €6 respectively €14 but come out as €4 and €4 - in each case, the difference is exactly the tax that *is* part of the advertised price but *is not* charged. I would say it is a glitch.

You are entering into a contract, paying and getting a ticket... I do not see how they could claim you should have known there was a €10 charge that they forgot about.

Regarding hotels: There is a deal on right now where you get £20 off if you book through expedia UK or €20 off if you go through expedia France (works with an Irish address and credit card and for bookings anywhere in the world)... There is a thread about this somewhere. Many of us are happy to send out those codes. If you need one, PM me your name and e-mail address and I will be happy to send you one

Best you can do to Stansted is €8 return. Just look for flights at €4 each - these ones have no further taxes or charges added.

The terms say:

Mon - Sun (subject to availability)

So if you are lucky, you can score weekend flights as well. It is all a matter of tedious searching and blind luck.

a great way i just found out there to get really cheap hotels if you have a bit of time is using priceline.co.uk or hotwire.com (priceline i think is slightly better for Europe) and use the bidding function.
it works by you offering a price for a type of hotel in a certain area (i.e a 3 star hotel in edinburgh centre). it then either accepts or rejects your offer. the catch is though that you can only make one bid every 24 hours so if your bid is rejected you have to wait another 24 hours before you can make another bid. for me i was looking everywhere and the cheapest accomodation i could find was £50 pounds a night and that was for a 2 star hotel. i then used priceline and bid £37 and my offer was accepted. the hotel they gave me was a 3 star hilton a mile from the centre. ( beware of the other little charges they charge you on top of your £37 like taxes and a commission). there are sites out there like moneysavingexpert.com that help you figure out what price you should be bidding to get accepted at the lowest price.
hope you find useful

Actually, for Priceline and Hotwire the URL is http://www.betterbidding.com/. Lots of information on the hotels offered, winning bids and such. I personally find the Expedia deal to be cheaper and easier right now though.

The flights I booked were €18 per adult/child (incl cc charge). €50 per infant, who doesn't use a seat! Still happy with the deal though.

This might be a silly question, but here goes.

Could you book your infant as a child and just not use the seat ?

Also, why are you still paying the credit card charge ? See post number 12 on this thread. Link below.

Ryanair have one of their endless specials on right now. The interesting thing is that the website is forgetting to charge the €10 Irish departure tax on these discounted flights.

Flights to many destinations are advertised as starting at €14 (€4 fare plus €10 departure tax) but as you click your way through the booking, the €10 is never added . I just booked return flights to Europe for two and paid €16 total (4 flights for €4 each, no taxes or charges).

To the UK, I found fares as low as €1 with no further taxes. It has been a while since I last saw that price; never expected it to come back.

To avoid credit card charges, use Entropay as always...

Does anyone know what happend to the flights to Billund on these special offers ?....they were usually included and my last flight cost me €20 return..now the prices are a lot higher and do not seem to be reduced in the 'sale's :rolleyes:

Indeed, there have been reports of Ryanair not honoring "normal" bookings for infants and requiring people to buy an infant ticket on the spot. It is risky...

I dont want to take the risk of turning up and Ryanair saying the infant is not old enough for a seat or some other excuse to squeeze more money. I did think of it though.
Didn't know about Entropay.

It's reaching the stage when we might need a Ryanair sticky with all the tips and tricks throw in .....

Just a tip:

If you're flying to London, except Heathrow, use Easybus. Book online and it works out about 5pounds return from the airport to London City. Good value compared to the train...
