Earlier this week, Ryanair launched a birthday seat sale marking the 30th anniversary of the company’s first flight, with one million seats on sale at €19.85 each.
The sale ends today but there’s more good news as the budget airline is offering cheap flights to Greece from now until October.
Domestic flights will be available for as little as €4.99 while international fares will drop by 30 per cent.
The Irish company had hoped to offer free flights for people travelling within Greece if HCCA and Athens Airport also eliminated their development and airport fees for the same period but this measure was declined by the Greek government.
David O’Brien, Chief Commercial Officer at Ryanair, said that while the decision made by the government was disappointing, the discount airline is still “committed” to Greek tourism.
“Greek consumers and visitors can rest assured that Ryanair remains committed to growing in Greece and we will continue to stimulate travel and tourism in Greece by working with our partners in the Greek airports and Greek Government at this time of economic crisis” said David.
Greece looks like a pretty idyllic holiday destination…
