Ryanair's exclusive Prime member sale goes live today, offering substantial discounts on winter travel. The 48-hour promotion gives members £50 off return flights for journeys between November 4 and December 18.

This marks the seventh monthly sale since the airline introduced its Prime subscription service in March.

The October offer is available exclusively to those who've signed up for the £79 annual membership programme.

Members gain access to these limited-time flight discounts alongside year-round perks, including complimentary seat reservations and free travel insurance. The two-day sale window means those interested in joining must act quickly to secure the savings.

Ryanair Prime members can use their discount across many destinations, including Turin in Italy

The value proposition has proven compelling for thousands of members. Since launching the subscription scheme, Prime members have accumulated more than £600 in total savings - a remarkable return on a £79 investment.

The monthly seat sales have been particularly lucrative. These regular promotions alone have delivered £310 in savings to members, which amounts to nearly four times the annual membership fee.

It's a straightforward calculation that shows why the programme has attracted such interest. For less than £80 per year, members are accessing hundreds of pounds worth of discounts, making it an easy decision for frequent flyers looking to reduce their travel costs.

Ryanair CMO, Dara Brady, said: “We’re excited to launch our October Prime Member Seat Sale, going live on Wednesday, October 1 for just 48 hours.

"Prime members can now enjoy an incredible £50 off return flights for travel between Tuesday, November 4 and Thursday, December 18, the perfect time to escape for a winter getaway or soak up Europe’s Christmas markets.

"With Prime, members unlock unbeatable value all year round, from exclusive flight and seat savings to great deals on travel extras, all for just £79 a year. Don’t miss out. Sign up to Prime today and start enjoying the same amazing savings and benefits already loved by thousands of members.”

The airline also goes to Barcelona in Spain

This comes as prices have been slashed on last-minute holidays with packages to Thailand, Europe and more. Deals start from an incredible £162 per person.

Holidaymakers looking for sunshine and adventure this autumn can choose from a variety of tempting holiday deals leaving from the UK in the next couple of months.

Whether you are looking to lounge on a beach, wander through Prague's enchanting streets, or indulge in Thailand's world-famous cuisine, there's something to suit every taste and budget.
