50,000 Free* Flights if Wayne Plays in the World Cup


Ryanair, Europe’s No. 1 low fares airline, today (Wednesday, June 7th), in advance of Wayne Rooney’s decisive scan, announced that it will give England fans 50,000 free* flights if wonder-kid Wayne plays in the World Cup 2006.

Announcing the give-away, Ryanair’s Head of Communications Peter Sherrard said:

“Ryanair has long since been a huge fan of Wayne’s, and not just because we’re introducing in-flight gambling in 2007. So if Wayne completes his remarkable recovery and plays in the world’s biggest sporting event, we will give England fans 50,000 free* flights for travel on routes from the UK.

“Ryanair is already the fans’ firm favourite for World Cup travel and we are confident that Wayne will make it to Germany. If he does, we will be giving 50,000 England supporters even more reason to celebrate.”

*Excludes taxes and charges, specific routes ex-UK for travel in September, October and November.
