Ryanair normally only make flights available in batches of 6 months. I think they only go up until the end of August next year so flights from most airports in September and onward will show sold out as a euphemism for not yet available.
Skynet online says you can book until the end of October next year but all flights from all UK airports show sold out for Sep and Oct next year.
Maybe have to wait a while for those to come on line.

As of 1 November you will only be allowed the small bag in the cabin - trolley cases will all be put in the hold UNLESS you have purchased priority boarding or a premium fare ( eg Flexi). They won't charge though, will just automatically tag it at the gate and take it off you...


See this useful Irish Times article explaining it....

AND WILL THE REMAINING COMPANIES BE USING THE SAME POLICY AS RYAN AIR.

One benifit i see from this is, you will be able to bring larger than 100ml. of liquids & other equipt.you couldn't take on board for £8. as it's checked into the hold.

Unfortunately suzi wong, for the 8 fee you have to take your hold bag with you and it is taken off you as you get onto the aircraft, so no extra fluids as you are taking it thru security

As i understand it you have to check it in before security.it wouldn't save any time boarding otherwise.

I thought that the idea of checking in the 10 kg bag was to reduce the time spent counting bags at the gate, meaning you check the bag in at bag drop and therefore it’s not going through the carry on scanners so you don’t have the liquids restriction.
