Ryanair announced today that it will be starting a route from Manchester to Faro from the 11th April.
Whilst I dislike Ryanair, you sometimes cant beat the prices if you are flying without luggage. I feel lots of little trips to Carvoeiro happening

just been on ryan air manchester/faro&searched for flights from april thru to july&theres none there?unless they have not yet listed them .

Alf I just got one for £65 return Man/Fao on the 25th May for 1 week (didn't book it)

I just checked on ryanair website for mid may and the prices with add ons are not much different than Monarch. Its ok if you can fly any day then there are prices do work out cheaper.

Did that include all of the taxes and add-ons Bruce?

Yes just baggage was extra

Do you get a seat, or do you have to stand all the way

No I offered to be cabin crew and they gave me a discount

Strange this topic is active, My son flew to Dublin with Ryanair yeasterday and sat next to a chap he sort of vaugly recognised, he thought it was Eddie Jordan, he spoke to the fellow passenger and after a while he asked why he recognised him, he turned out to be the owner of Ryanair, can't remember his name, my son said he was great company and explained he had been to a meeting in Manchester talking about new routes, he asked my son why he was going to Ireland and who he was visiting and if on the flight he had been treated OK! and he said yes, fine, didn't get any preferential treatment though.

No they tie you to the wing and supply you with a pair of mittens and pair of goggles
