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 Santander (Bilbao)
- From: London Stansted
- Price for two people, with 8kg of HL each*: 98.52GBP
easyJet Alternative Flight: Bilbao
- From: London Gatwick
- Price for two people, with 8kg of HL each*: 77.99GBP
As you can see, easyJet is cheaper than Ryanair for this flight. Plus, it flies to a more popular destination. And Ryanair gets worse the more luggage you add:
- 12kg HL Ryanair = 178.52GBP; easyJet = 77.99GBP
- 14kg CL & 8 kg HL Ryanair = 178.52GBP; easyJet = 109.99GBP.
- 18kg CL & 8kg HL Ryanair = 268.52GBP; easyJet = 109.99GBP
- 18kg CL & 12kg HL Ryanair = 628.52GBP; easyJet = 109.99GBP

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.
