Cheap Flights

[lees]

Where is the cheapest place to fly in Europe from London?

[jno]

it varies - every so often Ryanair or EasyJet will hold a big sale where you only pay �1 plus tax, but there's no knowing where the cheapest seats will be going. They also raise and lower their fares according to demand. So it might be Paris today, Berlin tomorrow; there's no telling.

Jno quotes �1 plus tax as the cheapest fares available. Ryanair actually have fairly frequent offers of �1 including all taxes and charges (except a �5 per flight card handling fee) to a wide range of destinations. For example, three days ago I took a day trip to Germany. My flights were charged at �1 each way, plus the card handling fees, making a total of �12 for my return fares from Stansted to Hahn airport.

Ryanair have a fairly standard list of where their really cheap flights from Stansted go to. They're all of the ones currently shown as �5.00 (inc taxes & charges, but excluding the card handling fee) on this list:

The list from Luton is more limited. (Again, look for the flights currently priced at �5):

. . .and there are only a few �5 bargain flights out of Gatwick:

You need to be flexible with dates and times to find exactly where those cheap fares really are. With some destinations (e.g. Dublin) the majority of flights will be really cheap. With other destinations (e.g. Frankfurt-Hahn) it's usually quite easy to find the cheap flights. But destinations such as Marseille-MP2 will probably only have a few cheap flights available.

Buenchico: I am surprised that you haven't found out about avoiding paying these card charges that Ryanair and other airlines impose on customers.Read here:
