Le Ryanair offers? Now they are banking on the vaccine!
In this article:
"Book Your Summer. Vaccines coming, one shot and take flight!": this is the message of the new campaign that looks at thesummer 2021 and aims for topicality. Promoting many flights and many seats at 19.99 euros, the Irish low-cost company emphasizes the flexibility of his tickets: there will be no extra charge for the change, should one be unable to leave or should the country in question close its borders.
Ryanair deals, the details
Ryanair offers cover the summer of 2021: you book by Jan. 3, 2021, and fly from April 1 to Oct. 31. Although the airline has focused the campaign on seats at 19.99 euros, there are also cheaper deals: 9.99 euros to fly to Bucharest, 12.99 euros to London or Sofia, 14.99 euros to Paris. If you dream of Sardinia, the flight to Alghero costs 21.99 euros. All departing from Caravaggio Orio al Serio International Airport (do you arrive early at the airport? Discover why having an American Express Platinum pays off, even to relax in the lounge!).
Starting from Milan Malpensa, with 14.29 euros you reach Puglia and Sicily. If you leave from Perugia or Brindisi, the flight to Malta costs you 19.99 euros, the same price as a Pisa to Barcelona flight. From Verona to Cagliari, the ticket costs 21.99 euros. So many convenient offers for your summer by the sea, but nothing prohibits you from "expatriating" by treating yourself to a few days in a European capital.
Will you only be able to fly if you are vaccinated?
Given the message of the campaign, the question is, "Will only the vaccinated be allowed to fly?". The doubt is there: a few weeks ago Quantas announced that the vaccine would be mandatory for international flights. American Delta Air has also spoken out in this regard: "If international health authorities, governments or other bodies were to establish mandatory vaccine requirements, it would be better for the airlines, thus saving us the burden of taking this hard line," the words of CEO Ed Bastian.
To date, one certainty is not there. The only thing that is certain is that the airlines are almost all private and can make their own decisions (including) about the vaccine. More likely, however, is that they comply with the rules of the country in which they are based: if country "x" requires the vaccine for tourists, it is very likely that its national airline and private companies will also require it to board their planes. After all, the vaccine could be the (beneficial) alternative to the 14-day mandatory quarantine required today by countries such as the Thailand. The vaccination certificate could be a kind of pass, containing all the relevant information: the full name of the person vaccinated and the health care provider who administered the dose, the batch number of the vaccine, its type, and the location of the center. In the hope that it will be issued in English, or at least have its part translated so that it can be valid really anywhere.
For now, we just have to wait what the health authorities will decide. And what the airlines' conditions will be. But a good note in the diary, that one can begin to be put on.
