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¤cy=GBP&isFlexibleDay=false

Why these time windows work for overnights

Outbound 00:00-11:00 — arrive by early afternoon, giving a full day/evening at the destination.

Inbound 13:00-23:59 — depart after checkout / lunch the next day, home by late evening.

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.
