Worth knowing

Before you fly Ryanair

Ryanair is the cheapest in Europe — and that's exactly why everything is metered. Your boarding pass must be issued online; printing at the airport costs tens of euros. A large cabin bag is only included with Priority.

Flights often use secondary airports (in Paris, Beauvais rather than CDG), far from the city. Factor the transfer cost into the ticket price.
