The Ryanair flights sale takes 20% off selected routes and dates, with fares from £14.99 each way, so a European city break can start with a flight for under £15. Stansted to Aarhus, Denmark’s second city, Manchester to Oslo Torp (Sandefjord, about two hours from Oslo) and Glasgow to Dublin all start at £14.99. Booking closes on Thursday 5 November, and travel runs until 21 December, subject to availability.

Is the sale worth booking?
Yes, if your dates line up. Ryanair’s everyday fares are already low, and the sale knocks 20% off on top. Fares start at £14.99, so choose a route from the table, then check the calendar for a day at the starting fare.
“Scandinavia isn’t where you’d expect a sale to bottom out, yet Aarhus shares the lowest fare from Stansted. Oslo Torp is really Sandefjord, so budget time and money for the transfer into Oslo. Prices jump around the calendar too, with some days costing several times others, so if you’re flexible, pick the route first and let the dates follow.”

The offer doesn’t apply to connecting flights, can’t be combined with other promotional fares, and any change you make later costs the standard fee. Ryanair doesn’t say bags or seats are discounted, so budget for them separately. Our hand luggage guide shows what you can take free, and the airline’s promotion terms list the exclusions.
How to book
- Open the sale page and pick your departure airport.
- Choose dates between 5 November and 21 December.
- Check the fare at checkout matches the one in the sale calendar before you pay.
The calendar on the sale page is the quickest way to find the cheapest days. It shows a fare for every departure and return date, and the total updates when you pick a pair. Prices swing sharply from one day to the next: in the Stansted calendar for November, departures ranged from £15 to £74 a day once the sale opened. Moving your trip by a day or two can change the price a lot, so look at the whole month before you commit.
