An offer by Ryanair of free flights to students who fail their A-Level exams has been criticised as unfair and a cheap publicity stunt. (Ryanair doing a cheap publicity stunt and making an unfair offer? Surely not!)
In its latest tacky publicity generating promotion, the budget airline is offering 100 free flights to the first students who go into Liverpool’s Walkabout bar tomorrow afternoon with proof that they failed their exams. Under the tag line ‘So forget about going to Oxford or Cambridge, and instead enjoy a visit from Liverpool to Faro, Cork, Szczecin, Gdansk, Nimes or Nantes’ the budget airline is offering free flights to up to 100 students.
However, the Liverpool branch of the National Union of Teachers have criticised the plan. A spokesman said: ‘Ryanair’s offer is not balanced. IT doesn’t reward the students with the best results nor does it reward the students who deserve it most. Some students might fail because they didn’t try.'
