After much speculation regarding the date for ryanair to publish their winter 12/13 schedule some flights are now available from Manchester. Leeds Bradford and East Midlands still to come out.
Last year winter 2011/12 flights were announced mid April and this year 14 June was the anticipated date, maybe this is still the case but for all flights.
Im guessing flight get release round Nov, and hope they dont drop rimini, as there is now only 1 flight from the uk to rimin, where as before there were, and only uk aiport flying to rimini at the moment is london stansted
, hoping ryanair might add manchester to there flights to rimini
No more flights from Liverpool, bristol
i have been able to book priority boarding with ryanair for our holiday.i was told on here this was not possible.we are taking our grand-daughters aged 4 + 5 and was dreading the stampede.just booked priority boarding at a cost of £20 per person,from manchester - palma majorca
Prebooked Priority boarding is £5 each way making £10 per person for the round trip.
If you paid £20 a person you will have purchased reserved seating in row 2 and have already details of the seat numbers that you selected. The others rows that can be prebooked with reserved seating are Emergency exit rows 1,16 and 17 but they do niot allow anyone under 16 years old to occupy these seats.
Reserved seating also includes the benefit of priority boarding.
Have a good holiday !
Chris
thank you TFS.my booking is with broadway travel,so following your reply,i have contacted them and said they have charged me for reserved seating which is not available to me with young children.the women on the phone said when i phoned earlier and requested priority boarding,she went on her system to ryanair to book it and it is ryanair who charged the £20 per person (£10 per person,per journey).i told her i had the ryanair website in front of me and it states £5 per person/per journey for priority boarding.i was told to phone back on a weekday when a supervisor is available.im not a happy bunny at the moment.
You may have reserved seating in row 2 which permits any passenger of any age/size to sit their. It would be a little frustrating if the travel company doubled Ryanairs charge for priority booking. I cant believe that Ryanair would double the charge as it is a travel agent making the booking rather than direct from a customer, not heard that one before.
When looking at the Ryanair website for your travel dates have they charged you the published price ? - if they have I wonder how they make any money by making these type of bookings on our behalf ?
Although it has nothing to do with me but did you consider booking the flights directly ?
Regards Chris
no they have charged me the price for reserved seating,but they say when they went to ryanair to book priority boarding,this was the price they were given.i have looked on ryanair site myself and the price for priority boarding is £5 per person per journey.i will phone them again first thing monday morning.i have also just this minute noticed that they have put 13th instead of the 11th as 1 of my grand-daughters birthdays.
Someone is telling porky pies at Broadway Travel. Ryanair strictly forbids the sale of their flights through third parties, and reserves the right to cancel any bookings it finds that have been made that way, so there is no way they would have asked Ryanair at all. I hope Ryanair don't find out your flight has been booked through a third party!
hmm.so are travel companies not allowed to book with ryanair.
Hi daveg ... some of the previous posts on this issue:
I was tempted to tell them to book it direct but it wasn't the diplomatic thing to do as I was about the change a chuck of GBP for € and keen to get the little bit extra you get when its over £1k !
Outlets / Travel Agents are still satisfying the customer demand and adding their commision for providing the service. Sadly customers going down this route may never fully understand that the real Ryanair charges maybe much lower than that charged.
Chris
that is true in a lot of cases,but you see,i have paid exactly the same with broadway travel for these flights as i would have direct.and when you add the price of the hotel,i have save over £300.i spend days/weeks comparing/haggling costs with both companies and direct with hotels.
The problem is it won't be a saving if Ryanair find out and cancel your booking.
you seem to be missing a couple of points.broadway travel actually booked the flight through ryanair website.secondly,even if ryanair cancelled my flight,they refund my money.what they do not refund is anything extra that the 3rd party company has added onto the cost of the flight.
If this is how it's been booked surely you would have only paid the same total price by booking direct with RYR and then your hotel separately?
the cancellations wil put thousands of passengers at risk.passengers will be compensated by ryanair for any cancelled flights,but only at the price quoted on their website.so explain to me what i stand to lose.if they cancel due to broadway travel making the booking,i will just book my own flights,with ryanair or someone else.
If Broadway have just booked direct on RYR site using your card details and your email address everything should be ok. I can't understand though why you asked Broadway to book your priority boarding instead of logging into your booking on RYR site and adding it yourself. If Broadway are adding it direct on RYR site it will charging them the correct price. Perhaps they've added some on to make sure they make something on the booking?
About 18months ago I was looking at taking a last minute holiday to Portugal and checked with a couple of TC's, the holidays seemed extremely cheap. When I checked the details I found that the carrier was Ryanair. I checked a couple of months later and the prices had increased quite a lot for the same holidays and found the company was no longer using Ryanair, when I queried why Ryanair wasn't being used I was told by the TC that Ryanair did not allow TC's to book their flights and some passengers had not been able to receive refunds for cancelled flights when they had booked through a TC.
Of course there may not be any problems and everything should run smoothly, but I personally would be very wary of using Ryanair flights booked through a 3rd party.
IF ryanair wanted could they not check, an IP address, and see how many booking are being made from that address, and card details
Ryanair making changes to their summer flights. Wednesday flights from EMA to Valencia changed from leaving EMA around 0930 to now leaving 1500ish, return to EMA obviously later by 5 hours. Our family affected by these amendments - one lot arrive later and the others leave later. Well thats life !
