Ryanair launches huge flash sale with flights from £9.99 including Spain and France

Ryanair has launched a flash sale to a host of European destinations this year from just £9.99.

The sale, which lasts until midnight tonight, includes fares from UK airport such as Stansted, Luton, Bournemouth, Gatwick, Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff and Edinburgh.

If you managed to grab one of the bargain big fares, you could be heading off to France, the Netherlands, Spain or Portugal for less than the price of two airport pints.

From London Stansted fares are being advertised for £9.99 one way to Bordeaux and Nantes in France, and Santander and Santiago in Spain.

If you're heading out from Bristol, you could get yourself to Poznan in Poland for £12.99, Marseille for £14.99 or Venice from £18.23.

Edinburgh has fares to Paris, Toulouse and Hamburg for just a fraction over £20, while passengers from Leeds-Bradford can get to Warsaw for £19 and Ibiza for under £22.

You can already book the cheap fares on ryanair.com but it's worth noting that these don't include extra fees such as if you want to bring a second bag with you.

The super cheap flights do tend to be towards the end of the year once the warm summer's sun is behind us, but there are still plenty of tickets for less than £20 during the hotter months.

Ryanair has linked up Liverpool Airport with Stockholm in Sweden, Wroclaw in Poland and Zadar in Croatia for around the £20 mark.

The low fares come just a few months after Michael O'Leary, CEO of the budget airline, said that the cost of living crisis and the soaring cost of fuel meant that the era of low fares including €10 tickets could be over.

While there aren't any tickets available for less than €10, £9.99 are just a shade more expensive than that.

At the time of his comments, Mr O'Leary added that the airline anticipates that "people will continue to fly frequently" despite the cost of living crisis.

He said: "We think people will continue to fly frequently. But I think people are going to become much more price sensitive and therefore my view of life is that people will trade down in their many millions."

He's not the only travel boss to suggest that cheap holidays may be a thing of the past.

According to the boss of TUI, last-minute holidays will be hard to come by this summer,

Earlier this year the German travel firm's CEO suggested the era of the ultra-cheap flight was over.

Although he said the firm was seeing exceptionally high demand in the first full summer since the end of the pandemic, it means that, unlike previous years when unsold holidays would be advertised for bargain prices shortly before departure, the high demand means few are likely to be up for grabs.

Mr Ebel told German weekly newspaper Bild: "On the contrary, prices will tend to be higher rather than lower shortly before departure, because hoteliers and airlines also know that a lot is still booked at short notice. Spontaneous bargains will be the absolute exception."
