Announcing the details of this biggest ever give-away, Ryanair's Director of
Sales and Marketing in the UK, Tim Jeans, said:


    'We have been working towards 'free flights' for a couple of years now.
    Many of our competitors previously questioned whether we would ever be
    able to give away free seats. Well today Ryanair proves the doubters
    wrong.

    'We will give away 300,000 seats for travel in the next two months
    entirely free. All the passenger pays is the UK duty and the relevant
    airport passenger service fee.'
