UK Regional Airports to Barcelona for £34?

Manchester to Barcelona for £34 return - that is not a typo. Ryanair is currently offering this direct route at 81% below its median typical price of £175, and it is arguably the best economy deal we have seen from a UK regional airport in a long time. Fly out 5 Nov and return 12 Nov for a full week in the sun (Barcelona sits at a very pleasant 18°C this time of year). If that does not grab you, Edinburgh to Dublin from £30 return and Manchester to Faro from £42 return are both extraordinary value this week. Read on for every deal, sorted by region and airport.
