Ryanair Rescues British Airways’ Stranded Passengers

FREE* Ryanair Rescue flights


Ryanair, today (22nd Nov) came to the rescue of passengers left stranded by British Airways following the cancellation of BA flights from London to Riga and Vilnius. All passengers left in the lurch by BA will be offered free* flights with Europe’s No.1 low fares airline.

Speaking today, Ryanair’s Head of Communications Peter Sherrard said:

“Over the last year, demand for British Airways’ high fares and exorbitant fuel surcharges from London to Latvia and Lithuania has plummeted because passengers can fly with Ryanair for a fraction of the price on younger aircraft and with no fuel surcharges ever.

“Now that British Airways has left passengers high and dry by cutting the routes Ryanair is coming to the rescue. Any passenger left in the lurch by BA’s fly by night retreat, will receive a free* Ryanair flight for travel between March 25th and April 25th to either Riga or Kaunas by entering the confirmation number from their cancelled flight on http://www.ryanair.com/member/ryanairsavesbapaxs
