Wow, wow, wow! Take a look, take a look! Put your hand in your pocket, dig some euros out quick and ask one of your cabin crew for a copy of our 2011 calendar before they disappear faster than Speedy Gonzales on roller skates! Arriba, arriba! In return, you’ll have the pleasure of a sunshine-filled smile from one of our gorgeous calendar stars every month of the year, safe in the knowledge that your hard-earned cash went to a charitable cause. Our incredible crew have raised over €300,000 since our first calendar in 2008, and with your help are set to take that total above €400,000 in 2011!

If you miss out onboard, just visit www.ryanair.com to order your copy online. As you can see from these pictures, our girls had an incredible time soaking up the sun on the beach, and they highly recommend the Canary Islands – so book your low-fare Ryanair winter sun trip there now. You never know, one of our lovely girls could be on your plane, too!
