When Ryanair launched a sale last week in honour of their latest award, thousands of us salivated over Europe's slickest hotspots before making the most of the deal.

And with many still pumped over their super-cheap holiday abroad, online fraudsters have decided to cash in on the atmosphere by circulating a message which purports to offer two free Ryanair tickets in honour of the airline's 35th birthday.

Here's the thing though – Ryanair won't turn 35 until 2019 which led many to question the authenticity of the offer.

Confirming the public's scepticism, Ryanair took to their official Twitter account this morning to warn customers against the online scam.

"Please be aware of an online scam offering free Ryanair tickets," they wrote alongside an image of the fake offer. "This is not an official promotion."

You heard them, ladies – Steer well clear.

We’ve probably all been: the panic of an unexpected delay followed by a mad dash to your gate.

Worse still: boarding closing just as you arrive at the desk – and being forced to witness your flight pull away.

Still, few of us would be tempted to make a break for it across the tarmac, dodging moving aircraft in a bid to catch your departing flight.

But that’s what one unidentified man did at Madrid-Barajas Airport in Spain.

In a video posted to social media, the individual can be seen dangerous jumping from a jet-bridge onto the ground below. He then seems to try and intercept an airport vehicle before dashing towards his Ryanair flight – which was in the process of preparing for take-off.

Wearing a blue shirt and carrying two bags, he next appears to approach two airport employees standing off to the side of the Ryanair jet.

"This is how passengers in Madrid behave when they don't arrive in time for their flights.

“This passenger got through various security procedures… We’re talking level-4 security,” the video’s uploader wrote on Facebook.

It is not clear whether the man later faced charges for his actions.

SHEmazing has asked Ryanair for comment on the matter and is awaiting a response.

He's an Oscar-winning singer but that doesn't mean he has to fly first class.

Sam Smith was snapped boarding a Ryanair flight today as he made his way back from Italy – and his fans absolutely loved it over on Twitter.

The singer has been silent on social media in recent months after announcing in March, "I'm logging off for a while. Some Martinis shaken not stirred are definitely in order."

But that doesn't make his fans love him any less: 

 

Sam's the man.

If you're going on your holliers or flying away to the Euros, then we have some pretty bad news for you today.

A number of Aer Lingus and Ryanair flights have been cancelled this morning due to strike action taking place in France.

Customers of both airlines who have bookings on the cancelled flights can request a refund or choose another day to fly for free.

Aer Lingus has cancelled eight flights so far and Ryanair has cancelled 44.

Both airlines have issued warnings that more flights may be cancelled and to check in with their airline.

Undoubtedly Ryanair has revolutionised the way that we travel – and now the lowcost airline has its sights set on where we stay once we get to our destination.

Yes, Ryanair Rooms is set to launch on October 1, meaning that from the moment you leave home, your entire trip can be looked after by the Dublin-based company. 

It currently has a partnership deal with booking.com, but – in a distinct nod to the AirBnB influence – Ryanair Rooms will allow customers to directly books the likes of hotels, villas, and homestays as well as hotels and B&Bs.

And the emphasis of the new service will – naturally enough – be on low-costs.

“We’re going to transform booking accommodation,” Kenny Jacobs, Ryanair’s Chief Marketing Officer told The Telegraph.

“More and more customers are looking to Ryanair for products other than flights, and we see this as a natural progression towards Ryanair.com becoming the Amazon of air travel.”

It is furthermore rumoured that the company will gradually roll out holiday packages too (much as Virgin Atlantic does already) – offering the likes of all-inclusive breaks away to beach resorts.

Passengers can already book car hire, transfers and city excursions through the Ryanair website.

Ugh. If flying away on your holiday wasn't dear enough, Ryanair and Aer Lingus have just announced price increases on checked-in baggage.

And guess what? It comes into play TODAY. 

According to the Independant, Aer Lingus used to charge €20 for bags weighing 20kg, but will now charge €35. And for 15kg, the airline has increased its price from €15 to €25.

Ryanair have similar price hikes, with luggage weighing 20kg going up from €25 to €40 and smaller bags weighing 15kg will go up from €20 to €30. 

It's nearly just as dear as the price of a flight itself now!

Flights leaving Dublin airport have been grounded this morning due to strike action taking place in France.

Anyone heading away on an Aer Lingus or Ryanair flight will need to check in with their airline since 70 Ryanair flights across Europe have been cancelled and Aer Lingus has also been forced to cancel five flights in and out of Dublin.

Aer Lingus has issued a warning that if your flight is going over French airspace, there could be major delays, as French air traffic controllers are taking industrial action today.

If your flight has been cancelled or implicated due to this, you can rebook, reschedule or apply for a refund with both airlines.

There are three more strikes planned for next month, as air traffic controllers are protesting against planned government labour reforms.

Another week, another Ryanair sale. 

But this one is quite impressive because if you find a location and date that suits you, you can effectively get a flight for 1€. 

Yep, you could actually fly somewhere for 2€ return flights. 

WOO for flash sales! 

The locations include Brussels and Liverpool for the month of February as well as Manchester (if you are flying from Shannon). 

Head on over to the Ryanair website and stick in your departure airport, leave the destination as 'anywhere' and put the price bracket in at less than a fiver to see exactly what's available. 

While many of the options are midweek, it's definitely worth checking out the bargains. 

The sale finished up tomorrow at midnight, so get booking.

Ryanair is most definitely the king of budget airlines – how else could you get across Europe for under a tenner? – but it does come with its downsides.

Over the last twelve months though, the airline has pledged to improve customer experience in a big way, and today they revealed the most recent change for passengers.

Passengers travelling on the new Boeing 737-800 planes, which will join the fleet in January, will no longer be blinded by those awful bright yellow seats. Phew.

Above is a peek at the interior of Ryanair's new plane cabins, featuring bigger windows, slimmer seats for more leg room, redesigned overhead lockers and a blue colour scheme that's far easier on the eye.

Judging by the image, which was posted to Ryanair's Twitter today, those early-morning flights should be a LOT easier to handle for hungover stag and hen party groups.

Plus, staff are set to get new uniforms and there'll be a new in-flight menu too.

The changes come after Ryanair updated its website last year to make it more user-friendly, and also did away with the oh-so annoying "on time" trumpet noise that plays at the end of every flight.

It's not gone for good though, sadly, but its been replaced by something that's slightly more pleasant to listen to:

Happy days,

It doesn't look like easy days are ahead for Irish airline Ryanair and tech giant Google.

Ryanair announced that they are taking legal action against the Internet firm as well as their sister online travel website eDreams, accusing them of misleading customers to wrong prices and not offering the best deal.

“We’re launching legal proceedings in the Irish High Court with Google and eDreams,” airline boss Michael O’Leary said at a London press conference.

He also revealed that he and his company started legal proceedings yesterday. 

Michael said Google was not providing correct Ryanair prices and also claimed that eDreams was making-up websites which included the word “Ryanair” to mislead its customers.

“It’s the deception we have a problem with, not the advertising,” said Mr O’Leary.
