Free Ryanair ski flights will be given to skiers who turn up at Finches Ski Emporium in Forest Hill, South London in their underwear tomorrow (Friday). What’s more, the person in the most outrageous underwear will go home fully clothed in top-of-the-range ski wear and with a brand new set of skis...
Tomorrow, Friday 7 September, Ryanair, will be unveiling its latest perk to Winter sports lovers.
If they book a breakaway by 30 September 2007, they can fly their skis and boards FOR FREE!
Ryanair is encouraging Londoners to free themselves of their inhibitions...so the airline will be handing out free* flights to the first 50 people who come to Finches Ski Emporium in London...IN THEIR UNDERWEAR!!
The first 50 people who turn up wearing just their underwear (or less!) will receive a free* flight to one of Ryanair’s 61 ski routes from the UK this Winter. And of course, their skis will be carried for free.
So take off your clothes so you can take off for the slopes!
* Taxes and Charges apply. Terms and Conditions apply.
DATE Friday 7 September
TIME 12.30pm
PLACE Finches Ski Emporium, 25 - 29 Perry Vale, Forest Hill,
London SE23 2NE

admin, ah, thanks. I just thought I'd say a special hello to him if he was from Finches, seeing as we have been known to frequent there

S/He should stick around to get some customer feedback from skiers who probably take more flights than average in the winter

Be sure to come along if you can - you won't find a cheaper way of getting to Grenoble, Friedrichshafen, Salzburg or Turin!
And don't forget, your skis or board travel free with Ryanair for all bookings this month.

Are there any date exclusions to the 'skis travel free' offer, even if tickets are booked this month?

You know it makes sense.

boredsurfin, he worked fully clothed for Alpine Sports, Kensington way back in 1953. Think I'll have him study the Ts&Cs for this competition though. Might be pants.

boredsurfin, it was more like the late 70s and, if it had been DG, you would have walked out with a pair of Hanson rear entries (yellow). Hexel was his ski of choice!

I can't make it for 12.30 so can someone go in my place. I can courier a pair of my old underpants for my stand in if needed.

With a little more notice we might have been able to put together a line of snowHeads undercrackers and gone as team snowPants.

Yes they are not available over christmas and new year or holiday periods - details are in the small print on their website.
and as I mentioned in the ryanair thread I don't like Ryanairs diseneguous pricing policy - when i was looking for flights from scotland to go skiing in the dolomites I assumed the price the web was quoying was inc taxes etc. (but ex ski bags, bags etc) it wasn't. I had to go further through the booking process before taxes etc. appeared in the price. We aren't fying Ryanair!

Thanks, why am I not surprised?
It would be good if we are going to get Ryanair people spamming us that they would at least have the decency to hang around and answer factual questions...

Actually this is Ryanair marketing their new charges for wearing clothes whilst flying with them.
All customers wearing clothes will now be charged £5 each flight, this is due to extra weight in ski jackets, fleeces and heavy boots, which skiers take with them.
Refer to condition 7.6.8a.c. in their terms and conditions

arlberg,
That's no less believable than some of today's charges would have been 10 years ago.

Another interesting point to note - Ryanair will take your kit for free but in the T&Cs aren't actually guaranteeing to carry the skis on the same flight...
Trying to find them has proved entertaining for more than one
