1 Current Deal

Book by 8 February

For March to October travel. Eg, Birmingham to Mallorca £38 return

Website: Ryanair
Started: Friday 26 December 2025
End date: Sunday 8 February 2026

Sale strength? Ryanair has launched its January sale (which it's bizarrely calling its 'Pig seat sale'), and the airline says it's discounted 10 million seats, for travel between Sunday 1 March and Saturday 31 October. You'll need to book by Sunday 8 February, and the discount has already been applied.

We’ve seen one-way fares from £14.99 from various UK airports including Birmingham, Edinburgh, East Midlands, London Gatwick, London Stansted, Manchester, and Newcastle.

Even though Ryanair is running one-way fares from less than £15, return flights are often a lot dearer (see below), which means it's unlikely that you'll get a return fare for £30.

Likely to boost? Ryanair routinely runs flash sales throughout the year, so we don’t think it'll slash prices any further this January.

Here are some examples we spotted on Monday 5 January:

London Stansted to Bologna, Italy – from £39 return in March
Birmingham to Mallorca, Spain – from £38 return in March
Leeds Bradford to Wroclaw, Poland – from £37 return in March
Newcastle to Malta – from £60 return in April

Use the Ryanair ‘fare finder tool’ to look for flight deals from a UK airport of your choice. It’s handy to use if you can be flexible on dates and destinations.

Any other ways to save on flights? Yes, British Airways, Easyjet, Jet2, TUI and Virgin Atlantic have also launched sales. Flights and holidays are dynamically priced based on availability, which means discounts on fares and packages can fluctuate, so if there's a flight you're after, use tools such as Skyscanner and Google Flights to track prices.

20% off mid-week flights

Low-cost airline Ryanair has launched its 'Cyber Week' promotion, with different deals happening throughout the week until Tuesday 2 December.

Its current deal is 20% off mid-week flights for travel between December and January (excluding Thursday 18 Dec to Sunday 4 January). You'll need to book by 11.59pm on Tuesday 2 December. Flights included in the offer will be marked as 'promo flights'.

So far we've seen, 15% off flights, 'buy one flight, get another half price' and £14.99 one-way flights.

Important: Ryanair calls itself a low-cost carrier, but you can only bag dirt-cheap deals if you know the tricks of the trade to avoid sky-high charges. See our Ryanair guide to ensure you aren’t hit with a raft of extra fees.

Important: Don’t allow yourself to be taken in by the hype around Black Friday and be sucked into buying something you don’t need or can’t afford. Always do your own price comparisons to ensure you are getting the best deal possible – don’t just take a retailer’s word for it.

For winter travel up to 31 March

Until 11.59pm tonight (Friday 24 January), you can get 20% off selected Ryanair flights with the code FSALE20P – it should be added automatically, or you can add it at the checkout if not.

Use the Ryanair discounted flights finder to search for flights. Once you've chosen your destination, the dates marked in purple in the calendar have promotional flights. It's valid for flights from 18 UK airports to over 200 destinations in Europe. Finding a cheap fare for both legs of your journey could be hit and miss, so you'll need to be flexible to bag the best fares.

Examples we spotted using the code (prices are just for flights with small luggage, no extras):

Manchester to Dublin, from £25 return
London Stansted to Valencia, from £26 return
Glasgow to Malaga, from £49 return

Important: Even with the code, Ryanair may not be the cheapest, so make sure to compare other airlines and sales before booking. See our Cheap flights guide and January flight sales round-up.

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
