Ryanair Challenges Advice on Cutting Flight Costs

A recent suggestion on how to make flying with Ryanair more affordable has sparked a reaction from the airline. The advice in question involves a series of steps that passengers can take to lower their expenses.

A consumer rights group has been looking into the prices charged by Ryanair and thinks that travellers might be paying more than they need to. The group found that by choosing a different fare option, families could save a significant amount on their flights.

The group's research focused on a specific route from London to Alicante, looking at the prices for a family of four during the summer. It discovered that Ryanair's recommended fare was not the cheapest option, despite being presented as the best choice.

By selecting a more basic fare and then adding on the required extras, such as seats and luggage, the group found that passengers could save around £59. Additionally, if the family could manage with fewer cabin bags, they could reduce their costs even further, by as much as £163.

The consumer group has been monitoring Ryanair's pricing for some time and claims that the more expensive fare is rarely the better value. Out of numerous checks, the group found only one instance where the higher-priced ticket was cheaper, even when all the included extras were taken into account.

Ryanair has strongly disputed the group's findings, describing them as 'fake news'. The airline pointed to its growing passenger numbers as evidence that people are not being misled by its pricing, and suggested that the consumer group's advice is not being taken seriously by the public.
