“As Spain’s number one airline,” said country manager for Spain and Portugal Elena Cabrera, “Ryanair, is pleased to announce its Murcia flight schedule for summer 2023… offering Murcia customers/visitors even more options for their summer vacations at the lowest fares in Europe.
“For families looking to book their summer vacations, there is no better option than Ryanair’s industry-leading low fares, especially now that they can split the cost of their holiday by paying half the price now and half the price up to 40 days before departure when booking Ryanair’s Family Plus package, making family vacations easier for everyone.
“We look forward to welcoming our customers/visitors on board our flights to/from Murcia this summer as Ryanair continues to offer more traffic, connectivity and lower fares than any other airline in Spain.”
