Ryanair launch mega flash sale with huge savings for flights to top destinations

Perfect for a last-minute summer holiday before the weather starts to change.

Is there a better time for cheap flights to become available than towards the end of July?

Maybe you had a little week away earlier than usual this year and you've decided to treat yourself to another sunny getaway before this season is behind us.

Or, more importantly, if you haven't had a chance to get away, this could be your chance to get something booked for a fraction of the usual price.

From Marrakesh to Barcelona and Paris, Ryanair is slashing prices on flights to some incredible destinations.

The newest €16.99 48-hour flash sale kicks off from today, July 31, up until midnight on Thursday, August 1 for travel between September 1 and October 31.

Other attractive destinations on the list include Faro, Mallorca, Seville and Alicante, Bordeaux and Naples.

The deals apply to those travelling from Cork, Shannon and Dublin.

Ryanair’s Head of Comms, Jade Kirwan said: "The eyes of the world are on Paris for the 2024 Olympic Games, but that doesn’t mean you have to sit at home with Ryanair’s latest flash sale, offering customers fares from just €16.99 for travel throughout September and October. Lock in your next trip for the Summer and Autumn period to one of our 240+ destinations."
