Ryanair 'charge nearly 11 times as much' to fly from Liverpool as they do from Bristol

A nan was horrified by the price discrepancy when she looked to book a Ryanair flight to the Spanish resort of Alicante.

Mo Cummings, from Old Swan, wanted to book a Ryanair flight from Liverpool John Lennon airport on September 5, and was quoted a "value fare" of £235.99, departing at 6.15am. She then asked her son Paul, who lives in Bristol, what was the cost for a Ryanair flight on the same day from the city's airport - and he got a figure of just £21.99 for a "value fare" flight leaving at 1.55pm.

Mo, 61, said: "It was scandalous they were charging nearly 11 times as much to leave from Liverpool. I couldn't afford that, which was why I asked my son to check what the fare was from the Bristol airport nearest to him. Before anyone asks why I don't travel to Bristol first, it's too far for me to drive and have you seen the price of the trains?
