Ryanair: everything you need to know

Ryanair is Europe's leading low-cost airline. Founded in 1985 in Ireland, it operates a uniform fleet of Boeing 737s to more than 200 destinations. Its philosophy is simple: offer the flight at the lowest possible price and charge for extras separately, so each passenger pays only for what they need.

Before you fly it's worth knowing its rules: online check-in is free and mandatory, the Basic fare includes only a small personal item, and cabin or checked baggage and seat selection are bought separately. Once you know these rules, flying Ryanair is a convenient and affordable way to get around Europe.
