Ryanair adds new routes to winter schedule

Ryanair has added a raft of new services to its forthcoming winter ski schedule, which is now running until April 18.

The enhanced timetable incorporates services from eight UK airports, including routes available for the first time from Bristol and Bournemouth airports.

With prices starting from £25.99 and the season being extended to include the Easter holidays, the no-frills airline is predicting demand will be "huge".

London Stansted Airport is to gain three new services - Basel, Cuneo and Lourdes - while flights to Grenoble are also now available from Bristol, Birmingham and Edinburgh.

The Scottish capital will further benefit from a connection to Turin, as will Bournemouth, Liverpool, Glasgow Prestwick and East Midlands.

Airline spokesperson Bridget Dowling commented: "With Ryanair's low fares even those feeling the pinch this year can still get away for their week on the piste."

The low-cost carrier's winter schedule now incorporates 101 routes - a 40 per cent increase on the number of services offered in the 2007/08 programme.
