Ryanair Special Offers – Why not ride a motorcycle in two of the most beautiful destinations in the World? New York, USA, and Havana, Cuba? But because not save even our money. Ryanair special offers will soon connect New York and Havana. As the budget carrier widens its network of long-haul partners with a deal with Spain’s Air Europa.

Ryanair Special Offers First Stage
In the first stage of the cooperation, Ryanair customers can book Air Europa tickets to 20 cities in the Americas via the Dublin-based carrier’s website. The second phase of the Ryanair Special Offers will include connections between Ryanair’s flights to Madrid and Air Europa’s long-haul destinations. It brings the no-frills specialist’s strategy closer to network rivals. The Irish carrier is tapping its dense European network with an eye to supplanting its legacy competitors’ often unprofitable short-haul operations designed to feed passengers to more lucrative long-distance routes. The Air Europa deal follows similar agreements with IAG SA’s Aer Lingus and Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA. An increasing share of Ryanair’s passenger growth in the coming years will be from feeder deals, Chief Executive Officer Michael O’Leary has said.
200 million passengers by 2024
The airline expects to carry 200 million passengers by 2024 compared with 117 million last year. With about 10 percent of that expansion likely to derive from these types of partnerships. In addition to offering Aer Lingus and Norwegian connections at Dublin airport as early as this summer, Ryanair has said it could operate feed arrangements with the likes of Deutsche Lufthansa, Italy’s Alitalia and Portugal’s TAP.
Air Europa
Air Europa, based in Mallorca, is Spain’s third-biggest airline after Iberia and Vueling. Ryanair last week formally started offering passengers connecting flights on its own network at Rome’s Fiumicino airport. It is another step the company’s taking away from its pure focus on point-to-point travel. That move brings Ryanair closer to conventional airline operations after decades of challenging rival network carriers with bargain basement fares.
