Ryanair have promised free flights from Ireland to Germany regardless of who wins today's World Cup group match.

Ryanair have promised free flights from Ireland to Germany regardless of who wins today's World Cup group match.

However, it is not clear from the company's offer where potential travellers stand in the event of a draw.

The budget airline will announce a date for the free flights on its 12 routes between Ireland and Germany after today's match.

The airline made the move as part of an ongoing war of words with Germany's Lufthansa airline over Ryanair's establishment of a base at the Frankfurt Hahn airport.

In addittion to this, two million cheap tickets go on sale today in what Ryanair has called its biggest sale.

The company are making seats available from Ireland to European and British destinations at €9.99.

The seats will be open for passengers booking today and tomorrow and travelling between June 19th and October 23rd.
