Ryanair supports Erasmus students by offering a 15% DISCOUNT in 4 single flights with your ESNcard!

Ryanair is Europe’s number one airline, carrying over 150 million passengers each year on more than 2,400 daily flights, connecting over 200 destinations in 40 countries. As the official carrier of the Erasmus Student Network, Ryanair makes travelling across Europe fast, affordable, and convenient for students.

With your ESNcard, you get 15% off 4 single flights (or 2 return flights) during the partnership period. Ryanair also offers weekly travel deals for Erasmus students and special in-journey offers via the mobile app, making it easier than ever to explore Europe during your studies.

 

 

 

What’s the Deal?
ESNcard holders enjoy:

  • 15% discount on 4 single flights (or 2 return flights).
  • Tailored in-journey offers on the Ryanair mobile app.

 

How to Use Your Discount:

  1. Register at ESNcard.org. As this data will be used to validate your ESNcard during your flight booking process, please, remember to fill in all the blanks in your user profile - also your ESNcard number.
  2. Go to myRyanair and sign-up (or log in if you already have an account).
  3. Add your details in the "Erasmus" tab of your myRyanair dashboard.
    Ensure they match your ESNcard user profile data (use the same names, pay attention to typos, etc.). 
  4. Wait until your ESNcard and other details are validated. This is not live validation, so that it might take a few days.
  5. Once it is validated, use the booking widget at the bottom of the Erasmus section of your myRyanair dashboard to make your bookings at a discounted rate. Only bookings made using this widget will be considered for the discount, so make sure you do not use the normal booking engine of Ryanair or any other booking systems.
