I’ve just been on the Ryanair site to check availability of £1 flights in their latest one million £1 ticket promotion. I had a quick search for flights from Edinburgh, my local Ryanair hub, departing around the 29th of September for stays between 3 – 7 nights. I was able to find several flights from [...]
