For the last couple of years Ryanair had free ski carraige I think it was normally on offer once you booked flight around sept oct. Was free carraige available on their site this year ?

Getting something free from Ryanair, that'll be a first.

Not when I looked about 3-4 weeks ago - O'Leary would be charging for the fresh air on the planes if he could (I'm sure its in next years business plan)......... there's plenty of other threads on this, but Lufthansa, BA, Swiss are best IMO for cheap ski carriage...........after O'Learys un-customer-focused reaction after the ash-cloud debacle he'll never be getting his hands on my hard earned cash in future..........I know its not easy travelling to the Alps from ROI so sympathy with the Ryan Air situation, not easy I guess.

Not from what I could see. They managed to conjure up a total of £270 for a flight to Salzberg with one bag and skis in the hold, and that was for the pleasure of a 6.30am flight from Stanstead. Screw them. They're a disgrace to commerce.

Garfield, er, no, safe to say. I do have the advantage of living 1/2 hour from Heathrow, and Gatwick only an hour, so I appreciate I have plenty of choice. But that doesn't alter Urine-air's shameless fleecing. I avoid them at all costs, I'll even pay a little more to go with another carrier if the options are similar.

kendub, I've checked regularly, and I'm pretty sure that there has been no such offer ( which I've used extensively in past years). Easy Jet dropped the "free skis" last year so you can bet that Ryan Air will do the same this year. Unless of course they all start to panic!

Frankly, I'd rather walk than get on one of O'Leary's Flying Dublin Council Estate Buses.

Shimmy Alcott, we got free ski carriage with BMIbaby a couple of weeks ago. Don't know if it's still going though.

I got free ski carriage twice last year to Memmingen, didn't see it this year and normally see their emails weekly. You have got to love O'Leary he seems to love a bit of a battle. One of his best racehorses is called War of Attrition and another one that I backed to win at Cheltenham this year is Weapons Amnesty, well named.
I wonder what O'Leary would be like as our Taoiseach or Prime Minister in UK, would be interesting!

Jivebaby,
For once I agree with alex_heney.
The guy turns up with no pre-booked luggage and 5kg over the limit at a low cost-airline check-in... I don't see how they can complain about the extra charged..
Catch any regular airline on a bad day and they'll also happily charge you for your excess baggage..

I don't get why people pick on the budget airlines. As with everything in this world, you don't get anything for nothing!
You just have to play the game by their rules, take little or no luggage, print your own tickets, expect poor service especially if the flight is cancelled.
You pay your money you take your chances, they're cheap fares for a reason. I personally don't use them very often, doesn't usually work out cheaper if I'm taking my skis, and I never use them if I have to be somewhere, but great for summer holidays where all you need is hand luggage with a pair of shorts and a spare t-shirt (ok maybe a few more items).
Thats my rant over. As you were

Last 2/3 winters flew with RA to Alps and Pyrennes airports. Once you get the free ski carraige and a cheap flight, great value. This year without the free ski carraige, it's back to a package ski deal
