Ryanair adds more than 100,000 seats for Autumn half term

The move comes after Heathrow announced it would be extending its cap on passenger capacity until the end of October.

Ryanair’s group chief executive Michael O’Leary said: "While Heathrow continues to cut flights and raise fares for families, Ryanair and Stansted continue to add flights, and offer thousands of low-fare seats for the Autumn Mid-Term Break.

"With more than 500 additional flights, more than 100,000 additional seats, and prices starting from just €29.99, Ryanair looks forward to welcoming thousands of additional families during the Autumn mid-term break on its low-fare flights to/from Stansted."
