Their two return flights will come to a total of £148. That's £37 each, each way. That is acceptable for August. But they want to bring and return with, one bag each - of course, weighing no more than 15 kilos. This will add another £84 for the two bags...      Report

Very glad to see that you find that £37 each way for a flight to France in August is acceptable,   You could of course tell your friends to do what they did before Ryanair chose to fly to an airport that allows them to fly out to see you for the price of a ferry ticket. Your constant carping about Ryanair is getting very monotonous, Its really as simple as this, if you  don't like them, don't use them. Ron in the Avey-ron    Report

Jackie At least with a spell-checker I can appear somewhat educated!    Report

Hi Jacqui, No other operators are available and as I suggested in my original post, I agree that, for August, the flights are reasonable. The shocking part though is the cost for the two bags. I guess if Ryanair just said, it will be 58 quid each, each way, it would be taken at face value and that would be that. But the bags are costing more than two people would at many other times of the year...    Report
