Unfortunately, it isn't always possible to find an exact match for a Ryanair flight. For illustrative purposes, I've chosen a London flight, as most airlines that fly to Spain also fly from London.
On this page, 'HL' is 'hand luggage' and 'CL' is 'checked luggage'.
Ryanair Flight to Alicante
- From: London Stansted
- Price for two people, with 8kg of HL each*: 94.54GBP
easyJet Alternative Flight: Alicante
- From: London Gatwick
- Price for two people, with 8kg of HL each*: 90.95GBP
As you can see, Ryanair is more expensive than easyJet for this flight. And it gets worse when you add luggage:
- 12kg HL Ryanair = 174.54GBP; easyJet = 90.95GBP
- 14kg CL & 8 Kg HL Ryanair = 174.54GBP; easyJet = 122.95GBP
- 18kg CL & 8kg HL Ryanair = 264.54GBP; easyJet = 122.95GBP
- 18kg CL & 12kg HL Ryanair = 624.54GBP; easyJet = 122.95GBP

In light of Ryanair's decision to cancel tickets bought from third party websites, you can no longer search Ryanair flights through this price comparison site. To compare Ryanair prices with other airlines, search using the above site and then do a separate search on Ryanair.com. However, be sure to go all the way to the point of purchase as the first price you see is nowhere near the full amount you will pay.
