$15 Europe Flights? Ryanair Board OKs Plan To Fly To United States

March 17, 2015
Airline says it hopes to fly to as many as 14 U.S. cities from about the same number of bases in Europe.

The Financial Times of London says Ryanair's lowest one-way fares between the U.S. and Europe would cost as little as £10 – or just under $15 at current exchange rates. "Other one-way tickets would be priced at £99 or more, and the airline would fill up to half its jets with more expensive premium seats," the Financial Times writes, citing Ryanair marketing chief Kenny Jacobs.

Still, despite the approval from Ryanair's board, the launch of U.S. flights is not imminent. The BBC says "it could take up to five years to become a reality."
