MPs SHOULD CUT THEIR BILLS BY FLYING WITH RYANAIR
Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares airline, today (14th Feb) invited
Scottish MP Eric Joyce to avail of Ryanair's low fare flights from Glasgow
Prestwick to London Stansted, after the publication of MPs' travel expenses
revealed that Mr Joyce had clearly been ripped off by British Airways and
other high fare airlines. Last year, Mr Joyce spent more than any other MP
on travel, using £30,578 of taxpayers' money on high fare flights, when he
could and should have flown with Ryanair for a fraction of the cost.
Speaking today, Ryanair's Head of Communications Peter Sherrard said:
"Ryanair not only offers the lowest fares between Glasgow and London, but
is also the most punctual airline on the route, so Mr Joyce and indeed all
his colleagues at Westminster should conserve taxpayers' money and fly with
the UK's favourite airline, Ryanair.
"Flights from Glasgow Prestwick to London Stansted currently start from
less than £20, so Mr Joyce should get onto www.ryanair.com immediately, and
watch his expense bill plummet."
