According to the airline’s announcement, Prime costs £79 for a 12-month subscription, with member benefits including reserved seats, travel insurance and access to 12 annual (one each month) member-exclusive seat sales.
This allows subscribers to “bag the best flight bargains all year-round.” Ryanair claims that members who fly three times per year will save £105. Ryanair Prime is limited to 250,000 members on a first come/first served basis.
