It appears that children get a £13 discount on Ryanair for travel - if you therefore book a fare advertised at below this - the fare was £9.99 in my case, they take £13 off, therefore my child has no charge (actually, a 1p charge but let's not quibble!) for travelling from Edinburgh to London next month.
This is the screen shot showing the costs of £10 for both of us to travel one way.
hope this helps someone!

That's because it is missing an 's'.

Go to the 99p store and use your change to get your child to France.

Isn't it child cruelty, forcing them to fly Cryinair ?

That's good to know, apologies for the disinformation.
I can't really check where I am now, abroad with dismally slow internet. I was going from memory and didn't try to present my statement as absolute fact, hence qualifying it with "I guess"
Thanks for the clarification though!

i think ryanair have definetly improved airfares but luggage fees is outrageous £30 each way for 15kg and £40 each way for 20kg only 10kg for hand luggage and handbags must go inside case unlike other air providers

I fly with Wizz Air and applied for APD for my 2 previous flights (I traveled with 2 kids), got £52 refund and whole procedure took maybe 7days.
Just to highlight one important thing mentioned in that article. APD has now been scrapped (from 1st March 2016) for children under 16 not just 12. If you booked before March for travel afterwards check if you are due a refund. I booked an August flight to the USA in January and Virgin's website applied the tax for a 12 year old. I had to call to make the booking without the tax - which was something like £70.

So effectively, at 9.99 a seat each way from LPL-DUB in the summer, you save 25% for 2 adult and 2 kids, so 60 rather than 80 (give or take a few pence!)

A domestic flight does take the £12.98 off of both legs of a return flight. (£9.98 in this case as it was a £9.99 flight)

Is this only on flights from the UK and not the return (if outside the UK)

I guess you still have to pay taxes and fees which make up the lion's share of the total cost though.
Good find though.

No, their fares are all inclusive now for the flights (excluding hire cars, luggage etc).
Ryanair have done quite a bit to improve their image/service recently, it would be worth checking before making such comments.
We've used them for years, you're not going to get top notch service for £20-100 each way but it's got us from a to b perfectly well for years.
