Ryanair has extended its connecting flights service at Milan Bergamo Airport, adding a further 25 routes.

New destinations include Hamburg, Porto, Bratislava, Budapest, Prague, Thessaloniki and Vilnius, providing Ryanair customers with an expanded route choice of 50 connecting services in total.

The service offers passengers the opportunity to book and transfer directly onto connecting Ryanair flights.

Following the successful launch of this service in July, Ryanair customers can now book connecting flights on 50 routes (of up to 300 new routes) via Milan Bergamo.

Passengers can transfer ‘airside’ between connecting flights, without having to go ‘landside’, as well as having their checked-in baggage transferred through to their final destination.

Ryanair chief commercial officer, David O’Brien, said: “With 17 of these new routes connecting onto other Italian destinations we will continue to make regional Italy more accessible for European customers in advance of developing more direct routes to the regions in the coming years.

“Customers flying on these routes will be able to transfer onto their next flight at Milan Bergamo without having to go landside, and will have their bags checked through to their final destination.”
