     AER LINGUS CONTINUE TO RIP-OFF CONSUMERS WITH FARES WHICH ARE TWICE AS
                            EXPENSIVE THAN RYANAIR'S

Ryanair, Europe's No.1 low fares airline, today (19th July 04) confirmed that
when it comes to running a REAL seat sale, Ryanair's incredibly low fares shows
Aer Lingus is still just another high fares airline.

Ryanair's lowest winter fare (including taxes) is only EUR14.29, whereas the
best Aer Lingus can manage is TWICE the price for the same route at EUR29.00.

Commenting today, Ryanair's Head of Communications, Paul Fitzsimmons said:

" When it comes to running a real seat sale, nobody beats Ryanair's fantastic
offers. Aer Lingus latest attempt is embarrassing - their lowest sale fare is a
wallet thumping TWICE THE PRICE compared to Ryanair's seat sale offers. Of
course this will come as no surprise to the millions of Irish consumers and
visitors to Ireland which choose Ryanair's low fares and unbeatable punctuality
over Aer Lingus every time.

Ryanair will continue to offer Irish consumers unbeatable low fares, punctuality
and customer service."
