Ryanair launches exclusive ‘Prime’ service for frequent flyers

The Irish budget carrier is set to save its most loyal passengers even more on their flights with its new subscriber discount scheme called “Prime”.

Prime will allow members who fly 12 times per year to save up to five times the amount that the subscription costs with its perks.

Costing €79 for a 12-month subscription, members will benefit from reserving seats for free, free travel insurance and access to 12 annual (one per month) member-exclusive seat sales.

Members will receive regular emails about upcoming exclusive flight sales and relevant offers, and can book an unlimited number of flights with the discounted Prime fares.

The airline said that Prime members who fly 12 times per year will save up to £420, while members who only fly three times annually could still see savings of £105.

However, the new subscription is limited to 250,000 passengers on a first-come, first-served basis, so aspiring members will need to sign up on its website before the spaces fill.
