Love Holidays advertising 3 weeks in Tenerife Wednesday 8thApril 2026 to Wednesday 21 April 2026, flights by Ryanair. Is it going 2 weekly for summer 26?

Still showing 1 weekly on the app where routes normally show up first. TUI is going 4 weekly on the route. Having said that, that particular deal are both Wednesday flights.

That's what made me think it maybe 2 weekly, they haven't operated Tenerife on a Wednesday previously.

 

[MrFenner]

It’s already on sale weekly on Wednesday for summer 2026 - presumably a typo as 22nd is a Wednesday not 21st, 8th is a Wednesday

Would love TFS to be at least twice weekly like it used to be! Duration flexibility is always welcome.

Extra Dublin and Alicante dates have been added for Christmas and New Year. The flights are currently on display in the app but cannot be purchased yet.

Dublin (Some double daily)
18/12, 23/12, 30/12, 24/12, 31/12, 01/01.

Alicante
20/12, 27/12, 03/01,

In total an additional 9 flights over the two week period. (I don’t think I’ve missed any!)

That's really good news!

It's good to see 2 Ryanair on the ground at the same time. The one in the foreground is getting ready to depart to Tenerife and the other is arriving from Faro

Ryanair have added 2 extra flights to Dublin on the 26/10/25 and 30/10/25. Dublin will be double daily on those days.

That’s good news. Is there any particular event that coincides with those dates? Other than half term.

Not that I know of.

 

[Samdorob]

With Ryanair adding additional flights for half term and Christmas making the route double daily on some days, I wonder if we’ll see any regular twice a day scheduled services during next summer. Perhaps in the June to September window.

I'd hope so even if it was for the weekend.

Ryanair have also put 6 extra flights on for the six nations in Dublin in March, next winters figures should be the best for a very long time, with the extra based TUI plane as well.

 

[geoff]

All three FR flights today, being operated by 737 Max, one in BUZZ colours.

 

[Jerry]

Can only hope Cardiff is unaffected

[geoff]

I think a lot of the flights will be cut from Spanish Regional airports, not served by CWL, at least I hope so.

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

The article reads like they will be cutting Canaries, Balerics and main Spain airports.

I'd very much doubt they'll cut the inter spain flights as citizens travel for next to nowte but government subsidies their travel. Money making indeed for Ryanair.

Of course it's all a threat and if the authorities back down Ryanair will continue serve Spain as they currently do with little cut backs.

 

[Foxlimayankee]

The irony of Ryanairs reaction because of being charged more during "AENA's" time of record profit making....

 

[Samdorob]

Potentially due to lower January forward bookings or in relation to Vueling doing the same, but Ryanair have cut the Wednesday Alicante flight in January, meaning it’ll be 2 weekly that month. The Wednesday flight returns in Feb.

For comparison, they also run a reduced January schedule from Bristol, with no flight on Wednesday or Thursday.
