🚀 Ryanair’s new destinations for 2025: where to go for a low price?
If you are looking for new destinations to escape, good news: Ryanair is expanding its network with unprecedented direct flights. Here are the most exciting routes announced for this year:
🌍 The new flights to grab in 2025:
- Málaga 🏖️ → New routes to Brno (Czech Republic), Lübeck (Germany), Warsaw (Poland).
- Shannon 🇮🇪 → New flight to Madeira, perfect for nature and hiking lovers!
- Malta 🏝️ → Two new routes added, with an additional plane based on the island for more flexibility.
👉 My advice: These new routes are often on sale at launch. Sign up for price alerts to book them at the best rate!
💸 How to pay for your Ryanair ticket even CHEAPER?
Ryanair tickets are already affordable, but if you want to really pay the lowest price, apply these 5 pro techniques:
1️⃣ Book at the right time 📅
- The best prices are available 1 to 3 months in advance for Europe, 3 to 6 months in advance for more popular destinations.
- Beware of price increases: Ryanair operates with a dynamically priced algorithm, so book as soon as you see a good offer!
2️⃣ Travel light 🧳 (and avoid surprise fees)
- The standard cabin baggage is free, but watch out for the strict dimensions (40x20x25 cm max).
- Tip: Wear a multi-pocket jacket and slip in some items if needed. 😏
3️⃣ Compare with other airports 🏢
- Sometimes, landing at a nearby airport costs much less. For example: fly to Brussels-Charleroi instead of Brussels-Zaventem.
4️⃣ Watch for flash sales ⚡
- Ryanair regularly holds promotions (e.g., flights for €9.99 in January for summer).
- Useful tools: Sign up for alerts on Google Flights and Skyscanner to be notified of price drops.
5️⃣ Avoid the traps of paid options 💰
- Don’t necessarily take a reserved seat: if you are alone, a random seat will be assigned to you for free.
- Ryanair travel insurance? Often more expensive than necessary, compare with independent offers like Allianz.
⚠️ The big changes Ryanair 2025 (and how to adapt!)
Every year, Ryanair adjusts its rules… sometimes for the better, often to charge more (we know them, right? 😅). Here’s what’s changing in 2025:
🆕 1. No more paper boarding passes!
Starting from May 2025, Ryanair will no longer accept printed boarding passes. Everything will be done through the Ryanair app.
👉 What you need to do: Download the Ryanair app now and ensure your phone is charged on the day of your flight.
🆕 2. Fewer flights to Spain 🚨
Ryanair plans to reduce its flights by 800,000 seats in Spain due to high taxes.
👉 If you plan to go to Spain this summer, book quickly before prices skyrocket!
🆕 3. A customer panel to improve the experience
Ryanair is reviving its “Future Flyer” program where test passengers can provide feedback on the airline’s services.
👉 Want to participate? Sign up on their website in April 2025!
🎯 My best tips for traveling with Ryanair stress-free in 2025
✅ Check the conditions of “Ultra Low Cost” tickets (some are neither exchangeable nor refundable).
✅ Think about your seat! If you are traveling as a pair or with family, book in advance, or you will be separated.
✅ Download the Ryanair app to receive real-time flight changes and avoid hassles.
✅ Don’t get caught by last-minute fees (charges for printing the ticket, adding baggage at the gate…).
