For three days, Ryanair is now offering seats on the Linz-London connection from 24.99 euros – “a gift for the start of the new route”, as Andreas Gruber calls it. Laudamotion’s managing director serves as Austrian spokesperson for the Irish low-cost carrier, which must be a pleasant task at the moment. Because: Ryanair is growing very quickly.
