Holidaymakers looking to book a relaxing summer getaway may have to fork out more money as flight prices are set to soar. Budget airline Ryanair has warned that plane tickets to European destinations will be more expensive this summer due to an increase in demand.
It comes as Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary also told people to arrive at airports such as Manchester and Heathrow in plenty of time due to expected travel chaos due to understaffing and an increase in people looking to get away this summer.
Prices are expected to rise by a “high single-digit per cent” over the peak season now that Covid-19 travel restrictions have eased. Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary told BBC Radio 4's Today Programme lower fares were currently driving an increase in passenger numbers.
