Hi all,

Ryanair have today released their flights for 2014 if anyone is thinking of booking with them.
Do they only do flights or holidays too? I only ask because I have read that they quite frequently cancel flights altogether with sometimes giving only 4 hours notice so this really puts me off booking with them and if no alternate flights available then although you do get your money back your holiday would be ruined [We are travelling independently]. I know any airline can cancel flights but the likes of Thomsons/Thomas Cook are also providing package holidays so it would be doubtful that they would cancel  the flight completely.
Any help much apprieciated.

Hi Lilly. We have used Ryan Air over a dozen times and I have never had a flight cancelled. They did change their flight times last year to Corfu but it was a few months before we were flying. Most of the flight we have been on are early morning.
It is only costing us £360 return from Edinburgh for the two of us next year whereas Thomsons flight price is £1050!! These prices for both airlines do not include paying extra for luggage.
They don't do holidays, we book our accommodation  independently.
People moan about Ryan Air but the bottom line is they are cheap, and we have almost always had our flights on time.

Hi Jaxbubbles and thank you very much for the info, it is reassuring to know. How many hours did they change your flight time by? We are also booking independently again. The flight that we are looking at is early morning also which appeals to us. Even with the luggage it still works out a lot cheaper than Thomsons etc plus you get 10kg carry on luggage too.
Why do people moan about them, is there a common theme in the complaints?

Jaxbubbles:
Hey Lilly
The flight should have departed Edinburgh at 7.30am but they changed it to 15.45! It wasn't to much of a big deal as we spent more time in the resort on our last day. I don't know why they get such bad press, every time we fly with them the flights are always full so they cant be that bad. Apart from the prices they charge for luggage, and on board drinks and food I think they are fine.

Ryanair from East Midlands - only flights are Wednesday to Wednesday!

Not a lot of use, most appartments / hotels will only do Mondays, (some exceptions for Fridays)

The only god thing about Wednesday flights (if you can find any accomodation) is that Corfu airport will be relativly quiet!

Jet2, Monarch, Thomson or TommyCook for me.

Or how much time / petrol would it cost to drive to Brindisi and then get the ferry over to Corfu Town - anybody done this lately?
