Ryanair has released one million seats at £8 for travel in late September, October and November, a bit too early for some European snow
The tickets include all taxes and charges if you pay by with Visa Electron, travel with carry on luggage only and don't have the priority boarding you can fly for £8.
Don't forget to wear your heaviest clothes, have a P before you board as it might cost extra, and don't eat or drink on the plane.
Must be booked by 19 August

'Twas only £5 last week. 
They seem to be having a price-war with themselves this summer. I booked some tickets during a £5 sale back in June, and the following week they had a £1 sale! Suggests cash-flow problems ... paying with a credit card (to get the protection of the consumer credit act) would seem to be a good idea if you are buying more expensive flights.

I know I'm being miserable saying this, but you'd have to pay me to fly from Stanstead. All of my last three journeys involving the airport have been a complete nightmare.
Baaa humbug, etc.

FlyingStantoni, Funny how you get different experiences: I've ony been to Stansted 3 times and it's always been much better than either Gatwick or Heathrow. Not as good as the tiddly airports though.
waynos, That's cheaper than the cheapest ferry ticket I could find.

FlyingStantoni, That's a surprise. I have been through Stansted a dozen or more times a year over about ten years and have never had any problem. What went wrong for you?
Much preferable, I agree , to Gatwick or Heathrow.

FlyingStantoni, Stansted beats the hell out of Gatwick and Heathrow for me.

My only issue with Stansted is late evening/night arrivals. Every time I have been on one of those, the wait for the bagages has been ridiculously long...
But the departure experience (check-in and duty-free) has greatly improved from the early days...And it's barely 40 min away from my home so defo my 1st choice..

Travelled to Stansted on a number of occasions, never had any problems apart from one trip when we landed just behind en El-Al flight from Tel Aviv

Agree that Stansted is good, better than Heathrow, Gatwick or Luton, but the best of all is City airport, 20 minute check in minimum fuss

Agree with the City fans. Not just going out but coming back. Runway to taxi/DLR in about 10 minutes - wonderful.

You know it makes sense.

easiski, achilles, never said it wasn't cheap. I'll be keeping my cost lower by using my post office electron card, though i'd think the halifax easycash electron is probably more flexible and cheaper than the post office card.

maggi, should have made clear, that is a ranking of airports which purport to serve London (ie where I live)
and East Midlands isn't North - it's Midlands!
