Ryanair launches 500,000 free seats

Ryanair has announced that from midnight (24:00hrs, 26th October 09) it will release 500,000 free seats for travel on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in late November and early December.

These free fares will be available on over 500 of Ryanair’s European routes but must be booked on ryanair.com before midnight (24:00hrs) Thursday (29th Oct).

Ryanair’s free tickets include all taxes and charges so passengers who chose to avoid discretionary fees by paying with Visa Electron, travel with carry on luggage only and forego priority boarding can book, check in online and fly for this advertised free fare.

Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara said:

“Ryanair provides Europe’s lowest fares and a no fuel surcharge guarantee. We continue to grow traffic rapidly thanks to our lowest fares and our No. 1 on-time performance across over 950 routes. Today we release 500,000 free seats for travel on over 500 European destinations in late November and early December. These seats can be booked until 24:00hrs this Thursday (29th October) and are sure to be snapped up fast so we urge passengers to book them on ryanair.com today, before they sell out”.
