Ryanair pays out after jinxing Mossbank

Ryanair announced yesterday that although the Ryanair horse, Mossbank didn’t win the Ryanair chase, it will still give away 1 million free seats (no taxes, no charges) because they probably jinxed him.

Speaking this afternoon, Ryanair’s Head of Sales and Marketing, Sinead Finn said:

"Sadly the Ryanair horse didn’t win the Ryanair chase. With 1 million free seats riding on Mossbank to win, he was jinxed from the outset, so we’ll pay out regardless to thank all the passengers who have made Ryanair Cheltenham’s favourite airline.

"The 1 million free seats for travel in April will be released immediately on Ryanair.com. We advise passengers to book immediately as these seats are free, no taxes and no charges and will be snapped up record time".

* A nominal 1 p charge applies and will be reimbursed on request

Travel is for Monday -Thursday and Saturday in April – See Ryanair.com for details and routes.
