    Just booked a flight today to London in three weeks to see my best friend. Flying out of Dublin on Friday afternoon, back Monday afternoon -all in it came to 40e (12e of which is administration fee).

    Was quite impressed with that.

    I'm sure plenty of you have done better, so what's the cheapest flight you have got anywhere with Ryanair?

    Am so excited, bloody need to get away...

    Ive flown return from Dublin to London for 2c a couple of times.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,990 ✭✭✭JustAddWater


    Got dublin to cork and back €20 yoyo's!!

    €5 each way plus €5 each way cc charge so €20 return!

    For 2, it was cheaper than 1 person on a train. Was bout 3 years ago. Also just back from birmingham which was €50 return

    I got Shannon-Gdansk return, for 4cent plus 12euro(admin fee). It was the last flight between the 2 places :mad:

    You can get 'no tax' flights to London for €5. I think the credit card charge is around €4, so a flight to London for under a tenner, including charges, afaik.

    Open up Skyscanner.net

    Select "any" as your departure and destination airports select "flexible on dates" sort by price and filter by airline and theres your answer.

    Cheapest I've gotten were from Shannon; to Faro and London - €20 return all in [inc credit card charges and all]. Kinda crazy when you consider the bus to Shannon from Limerick is half that.

    <3 Ryanair when you play by the rules/know what to expect.

    €50 for 2 to Birmingham i think. You can avoid that €6 each way admin. rip off charge. Buy a prepaid mastercard for a one off €6. It would of save you approx. €7 http://www.payzonemoney.com/

    In the past three years i've managed to fly to London STND, Brussels (Charleroi) and Birmingham airport for for 2c return each.

    Say what you want about Ryanair but there is no other company in the world capable of an offer like that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 912 ✭✭✭endabob1


    Luton Shannon Return £20 each, cost more to leave the car at the airport for the weekend!

    I hate the way ryannair flights lack reading material, there are no magazines or anything..

    So what do you suppose those glossy things that the cabin crew walk down the cabin with are, while asking passengers if they want a copy of the Inflight Magazine?

    Ferries get you to wales, how much would you then spend on petrol / train / bus to get to your destination, london, leeds, newcastle etc. How much luggage do you actually need? I don't need to check bags in if its only a weekend.
    If you want reading material take some with you, thats one of the stupudest things i've ever heard. And when you say anything exactly what do you mean? Flights to the UK are normally no more than an hour. And as far as I know the longest you would spend on a ryanair flight is 3-3 1/2 hours. Are you telling me you want ryanair to provide you with entertainment for that time period? When in some cases the flight costs less than the trip to the airport!

    Fees and charges?

    Nope. Total of 1c each way.

    and why the feck would you be going to Leeds :pac:

    It's about €85 return to any UK train station from Dublin port and cheaper again to nearer ones.... no messin, you can turn up on the day with your 80/85 quid and youll get there and back. as a bonus, it's a 1 month open return.

    I can second this! It was a good few years ago but I know the deal! Ryanair did 1p/1c flights with no taxes or charges (pre tourist tax crap). We flew to London then on to Eindhoven for 2p! Infact we booked 4 or 5 different return flights that summer to Bremen/Eindhoven/London/Gdansk etc..

    Dublin to Manchester for 16 euro last week. I honestly expected to be hit with taxes / airport charges at the airport, thankfully not.

    LMAO. They're not flying libraries jesus. How about buy a magazine that interests you in the airport shops, people complain about the most ridiculous things. You know what I hate about Ryanair flights? The lack of hookers onboard - what's that about??

    Now i feel really stupud!

    cheapest flight i got was dublin to pisa for 1 cent


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,800 ✭✭✭Senna


    I booked a few of the €1 "no tax" ryanair flights before. Never actually got to go on any of them:(
    I'd book them well in advance and try and pick dates i think would suit, but everytime i couldn't go for one reason or another. Ryanair made about €10 off me and i never even fly with them.
    Used to use an Entropay card so never any Credit card charges either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,323 ✭✭✭Hitchhiker's Guide to...


    Been flying Dublin to Manchester every week since September for €8 each way total. Only need to book about three weeks in advance. Have to have an entropay prepaid Mastercard though to avoid charges.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,424 ✭✭✭Storminateacup


    8 euro and 4 cent from dublin to stansted and back, for 4 days!!!

    it cost me more to get to dublin lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,876 ✭✭✭Spread


    Lots of flights Dublin: Stanstead/Luton/Birmingham/Baden Baden over the years for €10/€16 per head. Entropay and more recently pre-paid MC. Also lots of flights not taken. You can afford to book just in case you've nought else to do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18 pauge2007


    God!its the tight arses who get ryanair any way!A magazine in the shop won't break the bank balance!

    I flew to Cork-Dublin every Wednesday for 2 years & most of them were €2 return plus a small fee on my entropay card at the time. I'd book up as many as I had the patience to do when the €2 offer was available. Sometimes I'd book a flight up on a Tuesday or down on a Thursday too just to give me options to do an overnight some weeks.
