Sun-seekers score as price war erupts on Canaries routes

A HOLIDAY price war has erupted as Ryanair takes on Aer Lingus in offering flights to the Canary Islands for about €60 return.

Aer Lingus has been flying to the Canary Islands for the past four years and the destination has proved popular for Irish sun-seekers.

However, Ryanair announced yesterday that it is now offering flights from Shannon and Dublin to Lanzarote and Gran Canaria.
