Ryanair launches new feature that will always get you the cheapest flights

And how to find flights for £12.99

RYANAIR has launched a brand new website feature that will save you money on your next holiday.

Similar to the Skyscanner "everywhere" button, the new function is called the "any destination" feature.

After inputting the UK airport - with more than 20 to choose from - the "any destination" button then pops up when trying to choose the country to fly to.

Passengers can then pick the month they want to travel, as well as which day they want to fly and how many nights they want to stay, up to 15 nights.

Sun Online Travel tried out the feature when looking for flights from London Stansted in January.

The cheapest destinations included Spain, when travelling to Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga, Santander or Valencia if flying on a Tuesday, with fares from £14.99 each way.

Destinations in Germany, Italy, France and Denmark could all be found for under £15 each way too.

It's also a great way to find a cheap weekend break if you don't know where to go.

For example, a weekend in Milan be found for just under £30, with return flights from Friday to Sunday when travelling from London Stansted in February.

Or a weekend in Belgium over the weekend when flying from Manchester would cost you just under £40, departing Friday and coming back Sunday.

Following the success of the Skyscanner everywhere feature, Google Flights also launched their own "anywhere" function to find the cheapest flights.

Some of the cheapest destinations on Google Flights using the function include a week in Athens with £34 return Wizz Air flights,or seven nights in Amsterdam with return easyJet flights from £55.

Otherwise easyJet currently has cheaper flights than Ryanair, with £13.99 flights to Budapest, and Grenoble.

EasyJet has their own version too, with their "inspire me"; function showing the cheapest flights on the website.

And Wizz Air has flights from £12.99 to destinations such as Lyon and Catania.

If you want to save thousands on your flight, there is a risky trick that travel experts often use.

Called error fares, the flight prices are often mistakenly added onto a website, with some being as much as £11,000 cheaper.

However, they can get cancelled at short notice, so you run the risk of not being able to fly, although you will get your money back.
