City Break in Dublin?
Those wanting to take a city break in the Irish capital, Dublin, will have a lot more options on plane routes later in 2007. Budget airline Ryanair has announced six new direct flight routes to Dublin from European cities.
Competition for Aer Lingus
In a typically belligerent move by the Irish budget carrier, Ryanair has said that it is operating the new routes in order to offer competition to Aer Lingus on the six routes. Whether that’s the real reasoning or not, at least there are a few more options for Irish travellers heading abroad, and European visitors to Ireland.
New Ryanair routes
The new routes to the Irish Republic, which will start operating in October, November and December this year, are as follows:
Basel, Switzerland to Dublin, Ireland
Budapest, Hungary to Dublin, Ireland
Katowice, Poland to Dublin, Ireland
Nice, France to Dublin, Ireland
Prague, Czech Republic to Dublin, Ireland
Szczecin, Poland to Dublin, Ireland
