STANSTED-BASED airline Ryanair has today (August 24) urged London Stansted passengers to book their flights to Memmingen to celebrate Oktoberfest.

Memmingen is a great low cost base for exploring Munich and its fabled festival celebrating all things beer and ale associated.

500,000 �8 seats have been released for travel on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in late September and early October.

These “all in” low fares will be available on over 500 of Ryanair’s European routes but must be booked on www.ryanair.com before midnight on Thursday August 26. Fares to Memmingen start from �17.99.

Ryanair’s Laura McCormack said: “Oktoberfest, running from 18 September to 3 October, is one of the most famous beer festivals in the world and is easily accessible with Ryanair’s daily service from London Stansted to Memmingen. Memmingen is 100km from Munich with a direct bus service to Munich.”
