Ryanair Are Doing An Incredibly Sound Deal For Students

For many students, their Erasmus year is one of the best years of college.

It's easy to see why. A year in a foreign and (hopefully) warm country, meeting new people and traveling to their heart's content.

On the other side of the coin, it can also be an expensive year, something this writer knows all too well.

Ryanair are here to help, though. They have announced their new partnership with the EU Erasmus Student Network.

The Erasmus programme is celebrating its 30th anniversary of sending students across 37 countries in Europe.

Ryanair are teaming up with the programme to offer its students:

• 15% discounted fares
•  a free checked-in bag with every booking (a godsend)
•  a dedicated Erasmus Students booking portal 

There will also be special Ryanair offers as well as community forums for discussing where the best bar is in Nice.

The partnership is part of Ryanair's "Always Getting Better" programme, which is in its 4th year this year. 

Fair play, lads.
