Low-cost carrier Ryanair has announced a special one-off return flight that could appeal to football fans.

The airline will run a scheduled return flight from London Stansted Airport to Barcelona Girona next month to give Arsenal fans the chances to see their team clash with FC Barcelona in the Champion's League.

Leaving Stansted at 08:30 GMT on April 6th and departing from Barcelona at 12:25 GMT on April 7th, the service has a limited number of seats and is expected to sell out quickly.

Stephen McNamara of Ryanair said: "Ryanair has introduced a Champions League Special after our reservations centre was swamped with calls from Arsenal fans asking if we would operate additional flights to Barcelona for the match."

He added that demand for the flight is already "huge".

In other news, Ryanair is currently offering flights from Liverpool Airport to Agadir, Bratislava, Bremen, Bydgoszcz, Derry and Knock for £7, excluding optional fees and charges.
