If you’re in the market for a good deal on your next trip, here’s a look at five European airlines giving Black Friday flight bargains, letting you plan your vacation without breaking the bank.

Ryanair’s net profit fell 18% to €1.79 billion in the first half of fiscal 2025
due to Boeing 737 MAX delays, rising costs, and lower fares. Despite a 9% rise in passenger traffic to 115.3 million, reduced fares and higher expenses hit revenue, with further Boeing delays posing growth risks.
