        "Christmas has come early for consumers using London Luton airport. Not

        prices that are half the cost of Easyjet, and delivering unbeatable
        punctuality - but now we're offering an amazing 50,000 seats for FREE*
        (* excluding taxes)! It's a Ryanair pre-Christmas bonanza!

        "Our expansion to 12 low fare routes to Europe from Luton with 4 brand
        new Boeing aircraft is great news for Bedfordshire consumers, who will
        no longer be forced to suffer Easyjets high fares and long delays -
        Ryanair has beaten Easyjet's weekly punctuality record for MORE than 2
        years!

        "So get your skates on this Christmas and grab a FREE* flight with
        Ryanair! As our seat sales are incredibly popular and we would urge
        consumers to book immediately at WWW.RYANAIR.COM".
