Ryanair announces new ski routes

Ryanair, the world’s favourite airline, today (1st December) announced new February 2011 half-term ski routes from East Midlands and Edinburgh to Turin and from Glasgow (Prestwick) and Liverpool to Salzburg to allow families escape to the slopes from just £27.99.

Ryanair cabin crew strip off for their 2010 calendar

European budget carrier Ryanair has once again invited controversy with the release of its ‘Girls of Ryanair’ calendar. First launched in 2008, the annual calendar features female flight attendants from the airline posing in bikinis, often on board or beside Ryanair planes. The initial launch of the calendar was greeted by anger from some, including the Spanish government, whose Women’s Institute sent letters of complaint to the airline.

Ryanair reduces the price of flights to European ski resort

Ryanair today launched its London Winter Ski Programme 2010/11 which offers 33 weekly flights from London (Stansted) to ski destinations in Cuneo, Grenoble, Lourdes, Salzburg and Turin. These very popular Ski routes are available now and can be booked from just £24.99 one way (including taxes and charges).

25% of passengers will travel for less than £10! More families than ever heading to sun and ski destinations. Ryanair, the world’s favourite airline, today (20th Dec 09) announced that it will smash all previous Christmas passenger records as over 2.5million passengers travel on their low fare flights between 23rd December and 5th January – with one in four passengers travelling home or to the sun/slopes for less than a tenner (£10) after snapping up heavily discounted fares in seat sales during October and November.

The subject of the price of ski and board carriage charged by nearly all airlines has been our pet moan for several months now, with the leading offender being Ryanair, who seems to think it’s good customer service to charge £80/80€ for return carriage of one pair of skis or a snowboard.

Well, maybe the airline is listening to the negative comments, as the lowest of the low cost airlines has announced today that it is offering free ski and board carriage for the first 10,000 passengers who book a return ski flight before midnight on Wednesday the 11th November.

Ski flights operated by Ryanair include Grenoble from Birmingham, Liverpool and Stansted as well as Turin from Bristol, East Midlands and Stansted.
