Ryanair Holidays 2024/2025

Ryanair Holiday Destinatiions

No matter what type of holiday you are after in Europe, the likelihood is that Ryanair will fly to the destination. With services as far as Oslo in the north of Europe for a Christmas market break, Morocco and the Canary Islands in the south-west of Europe for some winter sun, and Eilat in Israel for something new and exciting, there's a broad range of destinations to choose from for Ryanair holidays.

After a beach holiday in winter? No problem. Ryanair flies all year round to sun destinations like Fuerteventura, Tenerife and Larnaca, great for deals in Nov, Dec or Jan. Fancy a city break in Milan or Venice? Perfect! Ryanair offers flights to Milan from a number of cities in the UK. Or perhaps you're after visiting family back in your hometown in Aug? Absolutely fine! Ryanair flies to over 140 destinations from the UK, meaning your next holiday can be booked cheaply with a Ryanair flight.

We always recommend to check the latest updates, useful information and travel restrictions in place with both the UK and destination governments.

Keep Your Ryanair Holiday Low Cost

With flights being sold from one way prices as little as £4.99 per person, Ryanair is a great way to get away on the cheap, however, it is a low-cost airline, so you should be aware of certain charges that can crop up so that your holiday doesn't go over budget. When making your booking, always check to see what is and isn't included. Even packages advertised as all inclusive, may not include check-in luggage or onboard seating options.

Baggage

Hold baggage is one such charge that can add up, particularly for a family. The luggage rules and restrictions on budget airlines can vary a great deal, so make sure you know what your luggage allowance is when you book, and don't forget you'll need to include your return travel too. Even if you're away for a week, one of the ways to keep the cost down is to try and get all your clothes and bits into one smaller bag or holdall case that can fit into the overhead bins onboard. Small backpacks that fit underneath the seat in front are generally now the only thing included as part of Ryanair's basic fares. Just make sure you keep to the weight and size dimensions as if you don't you could get charged extra at the airport.

Changes

Check the change policy information on the official Ryanair website, but the lowest fares are non-changeable and non-refundable. If you have no plans to make changes to your booking, you can save money by booking the lowest fares rather than the deals including changes and other bits and pieces. Bookings through a tour operator can vary so be sure to check what the change and cancellation policy is.

Seating

Seating is another way many airlines earn extra money from customers. Prebooking seating can be a good option if you're travelling as a family, although if you want to save, not booking can save you some money. Be aware that even though you may be on the same booking reference as someone else, if you choose not to book seats, Ryanair may seat you in completely different parts of the plane which encourages you to pay for seats together.

Deals And Offers

Often the budget airline will release sales on fares, helping to keep the price low and competitive. Keep an eye out around Black Friday, January and bank holiday sales when there can be some hot deals to destinations like Turkey, Greece and Spain, as well as city breaks like Amsterdam, Krakow, Lisbon and Dublin.

Holiday Types

There are lots of types of breaks you can enjoy when booking Ryanair flights, fromEaster deals to the Costa del Sol, to last minute breaks to Seville and everything in between. Here are a couple of our favourites:

All Inclusive

All inclusive holidays are perfect for keeping your costs under control. Top destinations like Gran Canaria, Egypt and Corfu offer plenty of all inclusive resorts, however, when booking with Ryanair, always check to see what is and isn't included. Unlike other bookings, you may only have hand luggage included which is fairly restricted with a low cost airline.

Ski Holidays

In the winter, skiing and snowboarding are such great fun, whether you're in a group, as a family or a couple. You can add on ski and snowboard carriage when you book, or you can add this afterwards. Check out ski fields in France, Italy and Austria for the most options.

City Breaks

With weekend breaks being popular escapes, flights on Friday and return on Sunday can get a little pricey, but enjoying a city break with Ryanair midweek can be very affordable, especially if you're visiting a lesser known city. Otherwise take a look at popular cities like Berlin, Budapest Marrakech and Rome.

Beach And Sun

Sometimes just escaping to enjoy a little sunshine is all we need, which is why cheapsun holidays are so important. Book a direct flight to areas like Benidorm, Barcelona, Ibiza and Majorca, together with a self catering apartment and you've got yourself a real budget break even if just for a few days in Jun / Jul.
