My inner free spirit is ready to book one of these new cheap fares!
According to the New York Times, on March 30, the “open-skies” agreement goes into effect, allowing airlines based in the United States and Europe to fly across the Atlantic between any two airports in each region.
Previously, for example, British Airways flights bound for the United States had to originate in Britain. And only two United States carriers were permitted to land at Heathrow Airport, near London: American and United.
But here’s my favorite part! Ryanair is coming to the United States!
“Ryanair, the Irish no-frills carrier, has said they plan to start a new airline that will fly from secondary European markets like Liverpool or Birmingham to a half-dozen American cities like Baltimore or Providence, R.I., for a base fare as low as 10 euros, or about $16 at $1.59 to the euro.”
Holy cow! The possibilities are endless. Sacramento to Munich DIRECT?
