For those thinking of summer sun, Ryanair is rolling out a bunch of routes out of five of its UK Bases.
Let’s go through what’s being offered at each airport, as things vary.

Summer fun at a low price? Just remember to price your fare correctly
With Ryanair is offering many summer fun routes for 2023 (as well as some domestic options), it’s tempting to look at the headline fare and think, “oooh, that’s it”.
However, unless you don’t care where you sit and are carrying a small backpack or bag, you’ll need to tag on things like seat assignments, priority boarding (if you don’t want your bags at your seat), Hold luggage costs and so on.
Thankfully Ryanair has a published fee list. It’s always good to check at https://www.ryanair.com/gb/en/useful-info/help-centre/fees – least of all, you won’t have many surprises when you turn up at the airport and find more fees to pay.
It pays to always to look beyond the headline fare – as well as saving a few pennies for an inflight scratchcard…
