Ryanair’s Director of Marketing, Dara Brady, said: “We are delighted to add extra flights from Dublin to Marseille to accommodate rugby fans travelling to Stade Véldrome as Leinster take on Ronan O’Gara’s La Rochelle side in the Heineken Cup Final.
"Seats are selling fast so fans are urged to log onto the Ryanair.com website/app and book their trip to the Heineken Cup final with the hope of watching Leinster become European champions.”
It comes as some EU countries still require masks to be worn on public transport and Ryanair have said masks will remain mandatory on flights to and from those places.
The affected EU countries are Austria, Cyprus, Czech, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal and Spain.
