Ryanair Takes Flight with New Routes: Rome, Sicily & Beyond – Your Autumn Escape Awaits!
Birmingham, UK – October 26, 2025 – Ryanair is shaking up the travel landscape with a flurry of new routes, offering budget-conscious travelers even more options for autumn and winter getaways. The airline announced today a significant expansion of its network, headlined by a brand-new connection between Birmingham and the Eternal City, Rome. This is breaking news for UK travelers seeking affordable European adventures, and a boost for tourism in these destinations.
Birmingham to Rome: A Cultural Connection
Forget summer crowds! Ryanair is betting on the allure of Rome in the shoulder season, launching three weekly flights from Birmingham Airport to Roma Ciampino Airport starting October 26, 2025. Flights will operate on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Skyscanner is already listing one-way fares from as little as £32, making a Roman holiday surprisingly accessible. But Rome isn’t just about ancient history; autumn brings a uniquely pleasant atmosphere. Temperatures in October can reach a comfortable 23°C, and even in December, average highs of 13°C beat the chill of the UK. Imagine exploring the Colosseum, tossing a coin in the Trevi Fountain, or marveling at the Sistine Chapel without the sweltering heat!

Beyond Rome: A European Network Expands
The Birmingham-Rome route isn’t the only news. Ryanair is significantly bolstering its presence from London Stansted, adding four new destinations. Italy gets another boost with flights to Trapani, Sicily, commencing October 27th (Mondays and Thursdays). Sicily offers a different Italian experience – think ancient salt lakes teeming with pink flamingos (especially visible September-November), stunning beaches, and a beautifully preserved old town.
Further afield, Ryanair will also connect London Stansted to Lubeck, Germany (starting October 27th), and Münster (starting November 3rd, three times weekly). Lubeck, a UNESCO World Heritage site, boasts stunning medieval architecture, particularly the iconic Holstentor gates. And for those seeking a hidden gem, Ryanair is adding flights between Stansted and Murcia in Spain, and Luton and Wroclaw in Poland.
Wroclaw: Poland’s Best-Kept Secret?
Speaking of Wroclaw, the Polish city is gaining a reputation as a must-visit destination. Recently hailed by journalists as “one of the best secrets of city recreation,” Wroclaw offers a vibrant cultural scene, a charming Old Town, and, come December, one of Poland’s largest and most festive Christmas markets. It’s a city that consistently surprises and delights visitors.

More Baggage Allowance: A Win for Passengers
Adding to the good news, Ryanair has recently updated its baggage policy, allowing passengers to bring more cabin baggage onboard for free. This change aims to improve the travel experience and provide greater flexibility for passengers.
These new routes, coupled with the updated baggage allowance, demonstrate Ryanair’s commitment to providing affordable and convenient travel options across Europe. Whether you’re dreaming of Roman ruins, Sicilian sunsets, or German medieval charm, Ryanair is opening up a world of possibilities.
