Tips flying with Ryanair: If you make yourself very familiar with Ryanair's restrictions you can travel to many places through out Europe inexpensively. The things you should remember when making travel plans with Ryanair are:
- Book way in advance. The prices go up every day you wait. The only way to get those cheap deals is to book early.
- Check to see where the departure and arrival airports actually are. Just because it says "Frankfurt" does not mean it is even close. The airport could be a couple hours away from the actual city listed
- Research the price for transit too and from the airport. Factor that in the cost of the flight. Sometimes it may be substantial
- Arrange transportation to the airport ahead of time. Often times the shuttle that services the airport runs on the hour every hour. So if you miss the shuttle it could cause you to miss your flight. Never cut it close. Missing a flight on Ryanair can be a very expensive mistake. I missed two shuttles. The first the bus too Frankfurt Hahn. The second, the bus from Luton Airport to Gatwick Airport. The first mistake cost me $150, the second $130, both for taxis
- Make sure you know the exact location the shuttle departs. Scope it out in advance.
- Remember that you CAN NOT fly standby if you miss a flight. Well, you can but there is a hefty fee, around $100!.
- Avoid the luggage fee debacle. Ryanair only allows 15kg maximum for all your luggage combined. You have the option of paying for excess luggage when you book your travel. This does not allow you more weight, that is an additional charge. It is about 8 Euro. If you forget to purchase at the time of booking you can log on up to their website and add it later. The Ryanair's excess fee charges can be quite expensive so plan in advance.
