RYANAIR’S WINTER WONDERLAND
Missed out on a summer break abroad? Then why not bag a bargain to one of Ryanair’s 11 new destinations for winter 2021/22, which include a host of European hotspots?
Jet off from Birmingham to Turin or Milan Bergamo in northern Italy or to the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius. You can also fly from Bournemouth to Hungary’s capital Budapest or Poland’s historical city of Wroclaw. Soar away from Bristol to the sun-drenched Spanish cities of Barcelona and Madrid or take off from Cardiff to Dublin, go from Gatwick to Malaga on Spain’s Costa del Sol or depart from Luton to the mountains of Grenoble in France.
Bookings come with the reassurance of a “zero” change fee up to the end of December 2021 should travel plans alter.
Ryanair’s Director of Commercial Jason McGuinness said: “We are delighted to announce 11 new winter routes from UK cities for those who are looking to enjoy a sunny winter getaway or take in the sights on a city break.” ryanair.com
