Ryanair advert was ‘misleading’

???¢?¢?€š?¬?…?€?Ryanair has been rapped by the Advertising Standard Authority (ASA) over a ???¢?¢?€š?¬?…?€?free tickets???¢?¢?€š?¬?‚?? offer. The airline advertised three million free tickets, as long as passengers paid taxes and other charges. The ASA said the advert misled, because the free ticket offer did not apply on Fridays and at some peak travel times.???¢?¢?€š?¬?‚??

He was on his way.???¢?¢?€š?¬?‚??
