        'We are delighted to be announcing this new route from Bournemouth to
        Glasgow (Prestwick), linking the South Coast to the heart of Scotland,
        seven days per week!

        'Ryanair's existing routes from Bournemouth and our low fares have been
        a huge hit with the people of the South of England. This latest
        announcement will add further choice at really low fares for our
        customers in the South of England.

        'To celebrate this new route we are offering an unbeatable low fare from
        only £9.99 inclusive of tax.

        'The new route will commence on 6th February 2003, and at fares from
        only £9.99 demand will be huge. We would advise early booking, as seats
        at these prices will sell out quickly. Bookings can be made at Europe's
