Ryanair One Million Free(ish) Flights

Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares airline today (21st February) announced that it will give away 1,000,000 free* flights when Ireland beat England in the 6 Nations rugby clash in Croke Park this Saturday.

Announcing the pre match incentive, Ryanair's Peter Sherrard said:

"This is the first time that the English have been invited to Croke Park and we've no doubt that it will be an occasion to savour. To help the Irish team on to their 4th consecutive victory against England, we will give away 1,000,000 free* flights when they win. That way, the Irish fans can fly to England to boast about the win, while the English fans can avoid the television replays with free* escape flights!"

"The 1,000,000 victory seats will be made available from Monday morning, when we hope the whole of Ireland will have something to gloat about".

Enjoy! x

Edit: Free(ish) - these flights do not include taxes, but still a great deal! x

    i doubt it will be worth waiting for, the lowest fares 1p,39p, £1 will become free fares

    hope im wrong and someone does find a fare with a good saving

    dont you just love these gimmicks from oleary, did he ever run down a warsaw hight street naked if LOT airlines removed their fuel surcharge?

    A free flight after you`ve added tax will come out about £32 return,which is still a great bargain if it`s where you want to go.

    O`Leary`s doing a great job.
