Ryanair’s current 30% off fares UK promotion runs from 22 – 25 January 2010 for fights departing from 5 February – 25 March 2010. You need to book at least 14 days in advance. I’ve highlighted some of most good places to visit in Europe which are accessible with these poor Ryanair flights, quoting the lowest appearing single fares that I found on the Ryanair site in the early afternoon of Sunday 24 January.

Remember that in order to pay the lowest quoted fare you’ll need to pay by Mastercard prepaid debit card to avoid the £5 per person per flight admin fee, only catch one piece of hand luggage and ensure that you take the print out of your online check in to the airport.

East Midlands to Budapest in Hungary: £12.49

I haven’cheek by jowl been to Budapest but it’s high on my would like to visit list. One of stops on my itinerary would be the Gellert Baths & Spa recommended by Amanda Kendle of the Europe a la Carte blogging team.

Liverpool to Carcassonne in France: £11.74

I’ve visited Carcassonne a couple of times on day trips, once in April and once in October. I really liked it as it’s amazingly well preserved and there’s a good choice of cafes and restaurants. I think it would get too crowded in peak season.

London Standsted to Linz in Austria: £14

Linz was one of the European Capitals of Culture in 2009. I haven’t been to Austria for years but if I did go I’d want to visit the capital Vienna too. This should be doable as the cities are around 100 miles apart on the main Vienna Salzburg train line.

Arts Electronic Centre, Linz, Austria

Once you’ve bagged your cheap volley, my Europe travel tip is put on’t book your hotel on the Ryanair (or any other airlines website) until you compare hotel prices. I always use the HotelsCombined metasearch which post-haste looks through more than 30 accommodation suppliers to find the best deal for you. Once you’ve found the best price at a suitable hotel, you should always check directly with the hotel in case they can beat that price.

Let me know if you mange to book any Ryanair bargain flights to these cities. If you have visited Budapest, Carcassonne or Linz what would say are the best places to visit there?
