Ryanair adds more flights for next England Euros 2024 games – but warn they will ‘sell out fast’
RYANAIR has increased the number of flights from the UK to Europe ahead of The Three Lions’ game on Saturday.
The budget carrier is launching additional routes to accommodate England fans itching to cheer for their team during Euros 2024.
In a bid to match the extraordinary demand from footie fans, the airline has announced it will be adding extra flights from Stansted to Cologne and Dortmund.
The two destinations are only a short drive away from the renowned Düsseldorf arena where the match will take place on Saturday.
Brits can jet off to Germany on July 5 and July 6 just in time for the next game.
Ryanair has increased the number of seats on these important routes making it possible for all supporters to take in the unrivalled match-day atmosphere.
Ryanair’s Head of Comms, Jade Kirwan said: “It’s been an epic summer of football so far and to celebrate England’s Quarter Final success, Ryanair has added extra flights from Stansted to Cologne and Dortmund so that more fans can make it to the iconic Düsseldorf Arena to see England take on Switzerland this Saturday.”
The flights are now available to book via the airline website but are expected to sell out quickly.
Footie fans have been warned to hurry up before all the tickets are gone.
England next play Switzerland in the quarter-final stage – the match kicks off at 5pm on Saturday, July 6 in Dusseldorf.
It comes as the best budget airlines in the world have been revealed – with several popular Brit options landing in the top 20.
Low cost airlines aren’t always the best or most comfortable way to travel, but their affordable routes to popular holiday destinations often make them the best option to cut costs on getaways.
According to the Skytrax World Airline Awards, the best of the carriers frequently serving the UK is Ryanair, who claimed 10th spot in the overall budget airline rankings.
Although based in Ireland, Ryanair serves a multitude of airports in the UK, as well as others across Europe and further afield.
And it finished higher than all the other airlines that Brits commonly fly with in this year’s list.
Meanwhile, this airline, formerly the best in the world, has launched new flights from a UK airport.
And this new affordable airline is launching transatlantic flights next year.
The Sun’s Lisa Burn recently flew on the new five-hour WestJet flight to St John’s – here’s what she thought.
And we’ve rounded up some other flights launching at other UK airports such as London Heathrow, Liverpool and Manchester.
