Ryanair has cut its lead in fare to £5

Ryanair has cut its lead in fare to £5 for the next 48 hours to try to encourage customers to book late summer and early autumn breaks despite the ongoing travel restrictions.

The airline says the sale, which ends at midnight tomorrow, is across a million seats.

The discounted fares are available on flights to 240 destinations, but many cities on Ryanair's network have travel restrictions in place.

With no guarantee these restrictions will be lifted before the end of October and the possibility that even more destinations could be added to the UK government's no-go list in the coming days, Ryanair is clearly hoping that with fares that cost less than a pint customers will be prepared to book and risk losing their money if restrictions remain.

If people are in two minds as to whether to travel or not, I would have thought for the sake of €10 it is worth taking the risk and booking.

Ryanair though must be operating some routes at a loss simply to keep hold of the rights to the landing slots.

In the papers today it said that Ryanair were reducing their flights next month so if anyone read that it won't fill them with confidence to book with the uncertainty that their flight might not go ahead.
