Ryanair: Fare Discounts, Travel Offers for Erasmus Students

Irish low-cost carrier Ryanair on Thursday announced that it has become the exclusive partner of the EU Erasmus Student Network, offering Erasmus students huge savings, with fare discounts, free bags and tailored travel offers.

Celebrating its 30th anniversary, the Erasmus program provides university students across Europe the chance to study in a different European city for a year, facilitating cultural and academic exchanges and enhancing language skills in 37 countries. Over three million students have benefitted under the Erasmus program since its launch.

Delivered as part of Year 4 of Ryanair’s “Always Getting Better” program, the Erasmus partnership will offer student members 15 percent off flights on the Ryanair.com website, a free checked-in bag with every flight booked, a dedicated Erasmus Students booking portal (going live later this summer), a community forum to share travel hints and tips, weekly travel offers to enable Erasmus students more easily move across Europe and tailored Ryanair in-journey offers on the mobile app.
