With half of August gone in a blink of an eye, it may come as a shock to be talking about October half-term holidays, but budget airline Ryanair has announced an additional 500 flights over the period.
The move will add 100,000 more seats to popular holiday destinations from London Stansted to Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece, and France starting from £25.29. Ryanair's chief executive Michael O'Leary announced the increase in a statement that also hit out at 'mismanagement' at 'hopeless Heathrow'.
On Monday, Heathrow said its flight cap would be extended a further six weeks to October 29. The 100,000 passenger per day cap was initially set to end on September 11.
