This extended connecting flights service is the latest initiative delivered under Year 4 of Ryanair’s “Always Getting Better” programme, with more connections to be rolled out across the Ryanair network later this year.

Ryanair’s Chief Commercial Officer David O’Brien said:

“Ryanair is pleased to extend our connecting flights service at Milan Bergamo Airport with another 31 routes added, including services to/from Budapest, Lisbon and Ibiza, offering our customers even more low fare choice with 131 connecting routes in total (potentially rising to 300). These new connections make regional Italy more accessible for European customers in advance of developing more direct routes to the regions in the coming years. Customers flying on these routes will be able to transfer onto their next flight at Milan Bergamo without having to go landside, and will have their bags checked through to their final destination.

This connecting flights service, delivered under Year 4 of our “Always Getting Better” programme, is now available on 131 routes, as well as 10 routes via Rome Fiumicino Airport. In addition, Ryanair.com, the world’s most visited airline website, also sells 20 long haul Air Europa routes to North and South America.

To celebrate our extended connecting flights service, we are releasing seats for sale from just £9.99 for travel until the end of January, which are available for booking until midnight Friday (24 Nov). Since these amazing low fares will be snapped up quickly, customers should log onto www.ryanair.com and avoid missing out.”
