Ryanair announces biggest ever ski schedule

Ryanair has announced its biggest-ever winter ski programme with the launch of its 2008/09 schedule containing 101 routes, a 40% increase in the number of routes it operated in its 2007/08 programme. Ryanair has extended this year's schedule until Saturday 18 April 2009 to include next year’s Easter holidays.

Ryanair will operate ski routes from eight UK airports this winter, with routes available for the first time from Bristol and Bournemouth.

The new ski routes for 2008/9 are available now from just £25.99 each way (including taxes and charges) for immediate booking on Ryanair.com.

Announcing this year’s ski routes, Ryanair’s UK Sales and Marketing Manager Bridget Dowling said: “Once again Ryanair will get you straight to the slopes for less than any other airline this winter. We guarantee the lowest fares and no fuel surcharges to Europe’s best ski resorts. With Ryanair’s low fares, even those feeling the pinch this year can still get away for their week on the piste.

"With 101 routes this year, you can make sure you get to your favourite destination while we also introduce a number of new destinations to this year's schedule. Demand for these ski routes will be huge and our advice to passengers is to book your Ryanair flights as soon as you can on Ryanair.com."
