Do Ryanair have a sale?
Budget airline Ryanair launches major flight sales every couple of months - and knowing when they start and reacting fast is the main key to grabbing tickets for as low as £4.99 one way.
The cheapest time to book is in January with the airline's sale starting in the middle of the new year and lasts for approximately two weeks.
Prices change during that time and booking on weekends might be slightly more expensive, during the week the prices are lowest
Ryanair's handy tool can show you where you can go for a set budget and from your chosen departure airport.
But you can't choose a date — the results show you the month you can get flights for within your set budget — so it'll only work out if you're flexible.

What is Ryanair's baggage allowance?
From January 15 only priority-boarding customers - who pay an extra £5 to £6 - will be allowed two bags: one wheelie bag which is 55cm x 40cm x 20cm in size and one smaller bag (35cm x 20cm x 20cm).
Everyone else will just be allowed to carry a smaller carry-on bag on board the aircraft, while wheelie-style suitcases will now be placed in the hold at the boarding gate for free.
Your wheelie bag must not exceed 10kg in weight.
Customers who refuse to put their second bag in the hold will not be allowed to travel or entitled to a refund.
What is changing?
RYANAIR will introduce the following policies from November 1
- The check-in bag allowance will increase from 15kg to 20kg for all bags
- The standard check-in bag fee will be cut from €/£35 to €/£25 for this 20kg bag
- Only Priority Boarding customers (including Plus, Flexi Plus & Family Plus) will be allowed to bring two carry-on bags on the aircraft
- All other (i.e. non-priority) customers will only be allowed to bring one smaller carry-on bag on board the aircraft, while their second (bigger) wheelie bag must be placed in the hold (free of charge) at the boarding gate
Do Ryanair have any hidden charges?
While the low-cost airline does offer impressive discounts, it does have a rep for charging its customers with a whole host of extra fees on top of your flight ticket price.
All of these are optional extras of course, but for most people basics such as a cabin bag and checked luggage are essential when you're going on holiday.
Checking in at the airport
If you forget to check in online for free, you could cough up to £50 per person per flight.
Choosing your seat
Ryanair passengers can choose to pick their seat by paying between £2 and £11 per person depending on which row you want to be seated - with the front being the priciest.
Check-in bag allowance
Ryanair checked baggage fees start from £25 for a 20kg bag.
Travelling with children under 12
If you're travelling with children under 12, at least one adult in the party must pay extra to reserve a seat.
You'll pay a reduced £4 fee for the adult's seat, and can opt to sit in rows 18 to 30 with your children.
But if you choose to sit anywhere else, you'll need to pay full price for you and the children.
