NuclearVision wroteIs the ryanair cheap fares deal actually legit??? Did anyone try it? A friend told me that it couldnt be true, since beirut airport takes a fee for your ticket, and it just cant be.
So anyone actually bought a ticket and took ryanair flight?
Hello, I've been a personal user of two RyanAir experiences (Athens-Rome and Rome-Germany).
We were surprised by how cheap it was, upon purchase, they try many tricks to make you pay extra.
If you select a seat, you will pay extra, I suggest choosing random allocation.
They will require you to select a package, obviously go with the cheapest option. You can add a 10kg onboard luggage and upgrade to priority for 14$ (Onboard in luggage alone is 12.5$). Adding a 20kg checked in luggage costs 25$. No need to go for their 50$+ packages... You can get a 7-10kg bag/backpack with you at any purchase free of charge. In case you do not select any options, you can actually get the ticket for its listed price. (Which is the cheapest, e.g. 10 euros)
They require you to "check in" online 24 hours before the flight. In case you haven't checked in and get to the counter, each ticket will pay a 50 euros late fee. I managed to do that in the last 5 minutes of the allocated time given. (Which just takes the names and passport numbers of each traveler)
The plane was very silent and relaxing, in fact, the most silent and relaxing flight I've ever been on. Of course you wouldn't expect a meal nor entertainment, but do note that they do offer paid meals on board.
According to a recent law, the airport takes the fee only if your flight is above 1000km away. (needs to be checked)
