As Vueling closes Brussels base and cancels Porto and Lisbon flights, Ryanair launches seat sale

Ryanair today (5 Oct) launched a seat sale on its flights from Brussels to Lisbon and Porto, following Vueling’s decision to close its Brussels base and cancel its Brussels flights to Lisbon and Porto.

Belgian consumers and visitors can fly with Ryanair from Brussels to Lisbon (2 x daily) and Porto (daily), on the lowest fares from just €19.99, and can look forward to further improvements, as Ryanair continues its “Always Getting Better” programme, which includes more new routes, new digital features, new cabin interiors and even more low fares.

These seat sale fares are on sale on the Ryanair.com website now, for travel in November and December, but must be booked by midnight Monday (10 Oct).

Ryanair’s Sales and Marketing Manager for Belgium, Yann Delomez, said:
