Ryanair adds 175,000 more seats to Portugal
Ryanair has swiftly responded to the government’s green list announcement by ramping up services to Portugal this summer.
It announced more flights to Portugal, with over 175,000 extra seats starting from 17 May.
The country was the only major short haul sunshine holiday destination to make it onto the UK’s green list.
The budget carrier is offering more opportunity to visit the Algarve, Lisbon and Porto this summer, and has launched a seat sale with fares from £19.99 for travel until the end of October 2021.
Ryanair’s Director of Marketing, Dara Brady, said: "With quarantine-free travel now permitted to the likes of Faro, Lisbon and Porto, even more flights have been added to our UK schedule in order to meet the demand from our customers."
It is adding an extra 16 Faro flights a week from London Stansted and a dozen more from Manchester.
There are also more departures to Lisbon and Porto from both airports.
Faro will also be served by three weekly flights from Birmingham, Leeds Bradford, Bournemouth, Bristol, Liverpool and East Midlands.
Ryanair’s UK Summer 2021 schedule comprises 480 destinations, having recently launched 26 new routes and with more to be added as restrictions relax throughout Europe over the summer months.
