Poland, Tenerife and the UK have emerged as the top Christmas destinations for Ryanair’s Irish-based passengers this year, according to the airline.
Poland ranks highly with many Polish diaspora returning home to family and friends for Christmas; but the popularity has been boosted with many Irish passengers flocking to enjoy Poland’s renowned Christmas market offering and ski resorts.
The Canary Islands are always top draws for Irish passengers in the winter months, but Tenerife is trending currently due to its mix of charming seaside villages, stunning coves, colonial towns, a rainforest, and breath-taking ravines.
The UK, while always popular, is boosted by Ryanair’s strong UK route network which connects Ireland to Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Cornwall, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, and Newcastle.
Ryanair’s Head of Comms, Jade Kirwan, said: “With Christmas just around the corner, many passengers are already booking their Christmas travel with Poland, Tenerife and the UK proving to be some of the most popular Christmas 2024 destinations for Irish passengers. We expect to operate almost 50,000 flights across our industry leading network of 235+ destinations this festive season, and we look forward to welcoming every passenger onboard where we will be offering substantial savings on inflight products like perfumes, aftershaves, and beauty products – perfect for those last-minute gifts!”
