Oh dear

There seems to be a monumental glitch in progress.
First, it took 7 minutes to load the site, now I am on my nth attempt to access the booking engine (I guess it's a booking glider at present!).
There is a spreadsheet-type document, accessible from the homepage, that shows the route availability of the 1p fares, but there are no other clues as to their availability:
- every day or Mon-Thu & Sat?
- from now onwards or between certain dates in March and April?
- when does the offer close?
- has it even started yet?

Looking at the spreadsheet, I note that the routes covered are nowhere near the whole network, (3 out of 12 destinations from my local Ryanairport) so I guess people may be disappointed. Also, if there are 1 million 1p fares available, that's equivalent to every seat on every flight for a week. To offer a million seats on say 25% of the network means that on those routes, all seats will be at 1p for four weeks!
I just wonder if there really will be a million seats at this price, or whether this is just hype.

Still, if you can't book them, it's irrelevant.
