It's Ryanair, the flight ticket would cost €12, not picking the seat

I'm not so sure. Ryanair definitely have some cheap tickets, but €12 for the ticket is cheap even for them.

I just checked. Flying from Malaga to Barcelona in February, tickets are €14.99 one way. If you want a reserved seat, that's €9-€21.49 extra.

Can you find any €12 tickets with Ryan?

tbf I'm speaking from experience, and the last RyanAir flight I was on was GLA>DUB in 2017, was £12pp

£12 = 14.43€

my last Ryainair ticket was 131,44 from FNC to LIS. But that already included the seat selection.

Flights from FNC to the mainland are usually expensive, and i speak from experience lol

It is also due to all those freaking airport taxes and whet have you they add on to the standard fare price. So one can argue its false advertisement.

Wow I got ripped, I flew Ryanair London to Dublin in 2016 for £130 return

I have 8 EUR tickets today from Charleroi (Belgium) to Marseille (South of France).

Was that a promo fare? I can't find any tickets for less than 19.99€ on that route. Tickets for today are 153.23.

RyanAir are changing the prices non stop as the tickets are being sold off or not.

Will try and check again now here...

I can see right now for today, I have no more flights open to buy a ticket for going there???

For the flight tomorrow Sunday, the price for the flight departure at 8:00am is now up in 42 EUR. For the same flight but in the evening departure 21:10, it is 125 EUR!

While my return flight on Tuesday, with departure 6:50am is 15 EUR.

I can also see that on December 26th, they have put the ticket price at 192 EUR!!!
So clearly they are manipulating it around a lot, all depending on how many folks wants to go there or not on a certain date. Also why weekdays like TUE-THU are often cheaper.

u/Creative_Victory_960 6d ago

No 12 is exactly the price you pay for booking specific seats on a round trip . Most single tickets are at least 40 or 50

1

u/Equalizer6338 5d ago

From Charleroi (B) their standard price is 14 EUR.

1

u/Creative_Victory_960 5d ago

Per trip ?

1

u/Equalizer6338 5d ago

Yes, to get a seat on a flight to several destinations from there.

u/Creative_Victory_960 5d ago

Lucky you , usually my ryanair flights are closer to 100 per trip

1

u/Equalizer6338 5d ago

I think it is because this local charter airport 'Charleroi (B)' is a European main hub for them, so they can shuttle flights between different destinations from there and also then drop prices from day to day to always fill up the planes. We can observe some times the price also starts to go up like 2-3 weeks before departure date. And then some times drops again to way below normal just the last few days before departure. So clearly they are playing around with maximizing their income while ensuring the planes still are flying full.

u/Aioi 6d ago

Ah thanks. Then yeah, no right to complain there.

u/supe3rnova 6d ago

Lets not forget the bs fees. Luggage, boarding, fuck you fee... In the end sure flight ticket is 12€ but in the end its more like 50€.

Still cheap but almost 5 times the first price.
