Ryanair adds new Winter route to its Liverpool roster
Budget airline Ryanair is launching a new Winter route from Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
From October 25, the Dublin-based carrier will operate a twice-weekly link from the city to Košice, in eastern Slovakia.
It said booking is open now for the route which will include a new set of health measures that Ryanair has rolled out to protect its customers and crew.
Ryanair spokesperson Eimear Ryan said: “Ryanair is pleased to launch a new Liverpool to Košice route , which will operate twice weekly as part of
our Winter 2020 schedule.
“Customers can now book flights to Liverpool as far out as March 2021.”
Flight frequencies are Sundays and Wednesdays, starting from October 25, departing at 07:00 on Sundays and 16:00 on Wednesdays.
Košice is a city in eastern Slovakia, close to the Hungarian border and is a former 2013 European Capital of Culture, along with Marseille, in France.
Its origins go back to the medieval period and is the second-largest city in Slovakia, after the capital, Bratislava.
The city has a well-preserved historical centre, which is the largest among Slovak towns.
There are many heritage protected buildings in Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Art Nouveau styles with Slovakia’s largest church, the St Elisabeth Cathedral.
The long main street is the site of aristocratic palaces, Catholic churches, and townsfolk houses, along with many boutiques, cafés, and restaurants.
