Example: Overnight Saturday getaway from Manchester

The following URL searches for return flights from Manchester to anywhere,

departing on a Saturday morning, returning the same day or next day in the

afternoon/evening, across the full year, under GBP 80 return:

https://www.ryanair.com/gb/en/fare-finder?originIata=MAN&destinationIata=ANY&isReturn=true&isMacDestination=false&promoCode=&adults=1&teens=0&children=0&infants=0&dateOut=2026-02-01&dateIn=2027-01-31&daysTrip=1&nightsFrom=0&nightsTo=1&dayOfWeek=SATURDAY&isExactDate=false&outboundFromHour=00:00&outboundToHour=11:00&inboundFromHour=13:00&inboundToHour=23:59&priceValueTo=80&currency=GBP&isFlexibleDay=false

Why these time windows work for overnights

Step-by-step: building a URL from scratch

1. Start with the base URL.

2. Set `originIata` to the user's departure airport IATA code.

3. Set `destinationIata` to a specific IATA code or `ANY`.

4. Choose `isReturn=true` for returns or `false` for one-way.

5. Set passenger counts (`adults`, `teens`, `children`, `infants`).

6. Define the date search window with `dateOut` and `dateIn`.

7. Pick `dayOfWeek` and set `isExactDate=false` to scan all matching days.

8. Configure stay duration with `daysTrip`, `nightsFrom`, `nightsTo`.

9. Set outbound/inbound time windows to taste.

10. Set `currency` and optionally `priceValueTo` for a price cap.

11. Add `promoCode` if the user has one.
