Ryanair offering free flights to European destinations
By Darren Cronian on Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

For those of you who might be looking for cheapo flights, Ryanair are offering [free] flights from a number of UK airports to holiday destinations through-out Europe.

Ryanair offering free flights to European destinations

The deals rule out school holidays, bank and public holidays, and no one where I work has found a free flight yet, but they are flights to Stockholm from Liverpool for as little as £7 there and £0.01 back.

I’m not tempted because I’m watching my carbon footprint after Kevin, from Travolution, gave me a hard time for flying down to London! Hehe

Remember if you book a flight with Ryanair, and they cancel the flight, or you are delayed, they will more than likely leave you stranded at the airport, but take out travel insurance and remember the EEC directive which means they have to look after you.

If flights must be booked 14 days or more in advance and the offer excludes all holidays and breaks, surely this should be looked at by trading standards?

Misread- some of the details, some flights would be bookeable but can anyone actually find a free flight to book?? And then even the low fares still have those Hidden taxes to add on

I’m not sure Lee, but I’ve yet to find a free flight. Yes, they are flights for £0.01p but it’s not easy to find these offers, and you have to be prepared to fly at silly times like arrive at midnight. If I am DIY booking then I prefer to get to the destination in daytime, so I can find my hotel without any problems.

When I flew to Oslo, earlier in the year, I arrived at night, and I felt uncomfortable walking around the city, not quite sure where I was heading.
