Dublin Airport flights: Ryanair adds additional flights to Marseille for Heineken Cup Final

Ryanair has announced that it is set to add extra flights to accommodate Leinster fans travelling to Marseille for this year’s Heineken Cup Final which will take place in Stade Véldrome on Saturday, 28 May.

To support pent up demand, Ryanair have added extra flights from Dublin Airport to and from Marseille on May 27 and 29, where the 2022 winners will be crowned.

Seats are selling fast already, so Ryanair urges Leinster fans to book now to avoid disappointment.

Ryanair’s Director of Marketing, Dara Brady, said: “We are delighted to add extra flights from Dublin to Marseille to accommodate rugby fans travelling to Stade Véldrome as Leinster take on Ronan O’Gara’s La Rochelle side in the Heineken Cup Final.

"Seats are selling fast so fans are urged to log onto the Ryanair.com website/app and book their trip to the Heineken Cup final with the hope of watching Leinster become European champions.”

It comes as some EU countries still require masks to be worn on public transport and Ryanair have said masks will remain mandatory on flights to and from those places.

The affected EU countries are Austria, Cyprus, Czech, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal and Spain.
