You just need to be flexible. As it said there's 8 million seats available. Flights are subject to availability.

Within what date range?

Is it to one destination? - must be very popular.

There ya go. November 4th - 12th. 0 Euro plus taxes and charges = 53.72 (plus cc fee) return for a 2 hour flight. Thats not bad.

You are trying to book a flight that is little over 2 weeks away. Of course the flight will be fairly well sold by now.

Maybe others are going to the same event you want to go to thus have booked it ages ago. You do see it is possible to get those prices then - you just have to be flexible.

I do agree that these flights can be had, I've just never had any sucsess finding them.I mean they advertise millions of these flights,but they always seem to be gone in seconds.

The flights your trying to get deals on might have been fully booked before the sale started.

Do you think? Its hard to beleive that Malaga in October would be booked out months in advance.Anyway, looks like its not happening so not to worry

Please mods close this thread, its been a moan fest for the last few days, and no longer on topic.

Well a new sale started today to more destinations than before, so maybe a new topic can be made for that

If its bothering you that much,just dont read it?

lensman

I've been trying for two days now to book 2 return flights (dublin to salzburg) with no success, they are advertised at €10 incl charges, every combination of dates I try gives the same message " no flights available on the date you entered " & the usual 4 or 5 reasons why, the aerlingus booking site is much better as it lets you see what days are available & the cost on each day.
( I've never used ryanair & I have a gut feeling their only waiting to screw me in some way)

Because we have to listen to you drone on about not getting cheap flights but it seems you don't really know how to use the RyanAir website to book a flight...

End of.

With all due respect the thread was back on topic until you came along.

The_Hustler

To get this back on topic, it seems the sale has changed to include less destinations. I thought the other sale was book until midnight Wednesday but was it just midnight Monday?

kingaaa

I wonder is it an even distribution of the cheap seats among all the routes or do they allocate more to the less-busy routes tring to entice more passengers?

I'd imagine it would be the latter. Most sales seem to exist to get rid of stock business' don't want anymore.

I just read all of this, what a rollercoaster thread!

Kingaaa, while you have your problems with Ryanair, I think you'll agree that those flights can be had-I've got them myself several times (no taxes/charges/fees). It actually boggles the mind, but I'm not complaining.:D

I'd say with Malaga you're out of luck as the more popular destinations are rarely included in the sales (I think). Still despite their rough and ready nature- you'll more often than not get a flight to mainland Europe for less than a bus/train journey across Ireland, it's superb!

6ix, I do agree that they can be got - I've just never got one. They seem to be more orientated to somebody who can travel when they want you to travel, and with a family I'm afraid thats not really possible.

That's a bit of a change from:

I think its only Ryanair staff and family that get these wonder flights!

As for conspiracies, I'm not into them but I do challenge anybody to show me a €1 flight, I think they are rarer than hens teeth and even rarer for dates that people would actually want to travel on.

I'd still like to hear from somebody that actually got a £1 flight, and exactly where it was to.Surley the whole 3 million flights cant be going to their more far-flung routes? That just dont make sense!

I think If you read what I said you'll see I did'nt change anything.For me, they are'nt readily available unless I wanted to travel when they wanted me to - which does'nt make a lot of sense to me.ANYTIME I searched for flights in these sales for when I actually wanted to travel they just are'nt there.

Jesus! another brain surgeon looking for an on-line slagging match!

Compare their sales to the Cheaptickets.com sale a few weeks ago, I got the whole family to Orlando when WE actually want to go for less than half the price of Aer Lingus for the same dates.Now thats a sale!

johnfás

That is the nature of all sales. Shops which put stock on sale don't put the stock you want on sale, they put the stock which they want to clear from their stockroom on sale.
