Ryanair has launched its expanded UK Summer 2021 schedule, which includes over 2,300 weekly flights across 480 routes, including 26 new routes to holiday destinations in France, Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain.

It says that the UK’s roadmap for the re-opening of air travel, coupled with the successful vaccination programme, gives UK families confidence that Summer 2021 holiday travel will be possible.

People can now book a summer holiday as far out as Oct 2021, flying to international destinations such as Bologna, Fuerteventura, Zakynthos and Valencia.

To celebrate, Ryanair has launched a seat sale with fares available from just £19.99 for travel until the end of October, but they must be booked by midnight Sunday, 28 March on the Ryanair.com website.

Ryanair’s group CEO, Michael O’Leary, said:“The UK Govt has implemented a very successful vaccine rollout programme, and is on track for a re-opening of EU short-haul travel this summer. Ryanair is pleased to offer even more choice and lower fares to our UK customers and their families with over 2,300 weekly flights and 480 routes to choose from, including 26 exciting new holiday connections to Naples, Rhodes, Chania, Alicante and Mallorca among many others.

“UK families can now book a well-earned summer holiday safe in the knowledge that if their plans change for any reason they can move their travel dates up to two times with a zero-change fee up until the end of October 2021.”
