UK to US for £8?
2008-11-03
Ryanair looks set to offer flights to America from as little as eight pounds, according to the discount airline boss, Michael O'Leary.
The plan is to buy up aircraft from struggling rivals, charge a high price for business class, but an incredible 10 Euro fare in economy seats.
O'Leary says his airline hopes to beat the industry trend by buying up to 50 more aircraft, opening up more routes, and offering even more discount fares, including these special prices to the states.
Keep your eyes open for news of the fares - which are expected to begin by the end of next year - as they are only expected to be available for early bookers (probably on-line, too). The super-cheap fare will not include airport taxes, either.
It is expected that the flights will go from Ryan hub Dublin, and Stansted airport to New York, Florida, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Boston.
