After Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary said the impact of Brexit could leave us at risk of having no flights to or from Europe from the UK, the low-budget airline is attempting to cheer up holidaymakers by having a Brexit flash sale.

The sale, named the "Article 50 special", has seats on offer from £9.99 one-way on 50 routes from the UK to Europe.

The cheap flights depart from a number of airports across the UK, including London Stanstead, Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol and the choice of destinations includes a mix of beach resorts and city breaks. The one-way ticket prices get closer to £30 on certain routes, but it's safe to say a flight to Marrakech for £27.89 is still a bargain.

If it sounds too good to be true, there is a catch. You must be able to travel this spring and if you want to make the most of the deal, you'll have to get your skates on. Flights must be booked by midnight on Thursday 30 March.

"The countdown to Brexit has begun and we've launched an Article 50 special with seats on 50 UK routes on sale for just £9.99, for travel in April and May," Ryanair's head of communications," Robin Kiely, said in a statement.

"This amazing offer will end at midnight (Thursday) so customers should log on quickly and plan their own exit from the UK today."

Ryanair has been a prominent opponent of Brexit and CEO O'Leary has recently expressed his concern over Europe's 'Open Skies' system, which was set up by the European Union in 2007 and allows any EU or US airline to fly between any point in the Union or the United States.

"With the UK set to leave Europe's 'Open Skies' system, the UK Government will either have to negotiate a bilateral agreement with the EU to allow flights to/from Europe to continue, or else revert to historical WTO [World Trade Organisation] rules, which do not cover aviation, thereby raising the distinct possibility of no flights between Europe and the UK for a period from March 2019 in the absence of a bilateral deal," O'Leary said in a statement, Business Insider reports.

Brexit is already making our chocolate more expensive. Fingers crossed, it doesn't cause havoc within the travel industry, too.
