Ryanair Flights to Almeria
The price of a Ryanair flight to Almeria and the nearest easyJet equivalent

By Damian Corrigan, About.com

Ryanair have the reputation of being the cheapest budget airline in Europe. Their pre-taxes and charges fares do beat the advertised fare of their nearest rival, easyJet, but that is because easyJet's prices are all inclusive. But when taking all charges into account, Ryanair are invariably more expensive. Find below details of a Ryanair flight to Almeria and the nearest equivalent easyJet flight price.

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 Almeria

  • From: London Stansted
  • Price for two people, with 8kg of HL each*: 209.36GBP

easyJet Alternative Flight: Almeria

  • From: London Gatwick
  • Price for two people, with 8kg of HL each*: 264.41GBP

As you can see, Ryanair is cheaper than easyJet when flying with a modest amount of hand luggage. But look what happens when you add more luggage:

  • 12kg HL Ryanair = 289.36GBP; easyJet = 264.41GBP
  • 14kg CL & 8 Kg HL Ryanair = 289.36GBP; easyJet = 296.41GBP.
  • 18kg CL & 8kg HL Ryanair = 379.36GBP; easyJet = 296.41GBP
  • 18kg CL & 12kg HL Ryanair = 739.36GBP; easyJet = 296.41GBP

Suddenly, Ryanair aren't so cheap. This is actually one of Ryanair's better performances. See more Ryanair price comparisons here: Ryanair Alternatives.

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.
