Ryanair, Europe’s largest low fares airline, today announced nine new routes from its Milan base to Alghero, Bari, Billund, Cagliari, Gothenburg, Porto, Riga, Santander and Tampere. These 9 new routes start in December, when Ryanair increases its Milan based aircraft from 4 to 6.

To celebrate, Ryanair yesterday launched a new price war by giving away 1 million free seats on Ryanair.com. Only Ryanair guarantees* the lowest fares. If any passenger finds a cheaper fare on the same route with another airline, Ryanair will refund double the difference.

“Ryanair guarantees* the lowest fares in Italy, and if any passenger finds a cheaper fare on the same route with any other airline, Ryanair will pay double the difference between the two fares – guaranteed.*

“These nine new routes go on sale today and we urge all passengers to log onto Ryanair.com immediately, as these 1 million free seats will be snapped up in record time.”
