Ryanair has added more seats for their flights heading over to Prague in March.
Ireland have been drawn away to Czechia in the World Cup play-off semi-final in a difficult but hopeful path.

If Ireland win the semi-final, they will face the winners of Denmark and North Macedonia’s clash for a place in the World Cup.
To facilitate the huge number of Irish fans expected to make the trip to mainland Europe on March 26, Ryanair has added 3,000 extra seats heading to and from Prague.

The airline’s Jade Kirwan said: ‘Ryanair has added 3,000 extra seats between Dublin and Prague for Irish soccer fans travelling for the Ireland versus Czech Republic World Cup play-off on 26 March.
‘We expect these extra Ryanair seats to sell out fast, so don’t miss out, head over to ryanair.com now to book your flight before they’re gone.’
One-way Ryanair flights from Dublin to Prague on March 25 are currently going for €400, with the return flight going between €255 and €427.

It’s unlucky for any holiday-goers who aren’t going over for the football, as flights after the match are going for €88.
Unsurprisingly, thousands of Ireland fans are already booking their flights to Prague after the sensational scenes in Budapest on Sunday.
It seemed like a play-off was barely a possibility at all before the recent international break, with Portugal and Hungary set to put Ireland’s bid to bed.

However, Troy Parrott netted five goals in two games to give the Boys in Green a chance to get to the World Cup.
Last week saw a stunning 2-0 win over Portugal in Dublin, before Sunday’s incredible 3-2 comeback in Budapest.
If Ireland win the semi-final, they could once again face Denmark in the play-off final.
Ireland faced the Danes in the play-off for the 2018 World Cup and were hammered 5-1 in Dublin in the second leg.
