Ryanair has started offering its first-ever connecting flights to customers, representing a significant change from their traditional point-to-point budget services. These initial connecting flights are available through Rome Fiumicino airport, with plans to expand to other destinations soon. Passengers can already purchase tickets on Ryanair’s website.
Starting in September, Ryanair is expected to sell long-haul, low-cost tickets as well. This development is part of their strategy to provide feeder traffic for flights operated by other carriers such as Norwegian Airlines and Aer Lingus.
Here are some examples of the new connecting flights:
– Brussels to Catania
– Brussels to Palermo
– Barcelona to Bari
– Barcelona to Palermo
– Alicante to Palermo
– Malta to Barcelona
An advantage of these connecting flights is that if you miss a connection due to the airline’s fault, such as a delayed flight or a mechanical problem, the airline should re-book you on the next available flight. If the next flight is not until the following morning, the airline is responsible for either booking you on a different airline or providing accommodations and meals.
