Ryanair review: one-off flight, August 2026

Image: Ryanair

I booked a Ryanair flight in August 2026 and paid £309 in total. This is a one-off review of that booking.

Score: 7/10

First impressions

• Competitive base fares.

• Extras such as bags and seats quickly push up the final cost.

What the follow-up review covers

• Punctuality, how efficient boarding was and whether the trip was worth £309 overall.

• How the total cost compares with other airlines on the same route, and whether I would book Ryanair again.

Verdict so far

A sound choice on price if you travel light. Add up the extras before you book.
