To coincide with its 30th birthday, Europe's largest budget carrier is planning to put the faces and names of 30 people on 30 of its planes, although they are accepting photos of pets.

 

For the lucky few who win the competition, their faces, names and signatures will be seen by tens of thousands of travellers at airports across Europe, and they will receive a free flight on the plane bearing their photo.

 

A Ryanair spokesman told MailOnline Travel: 'We want our customers to have fun with their entries, a photo they would be happy to display a mile high.'

 

It's all part of Ryanair's efforts to change its reputation and be seen as a customer-friendly airline.

 

For years the company had been criticised for its customer service and surcharges, with chief executive Michael O'Leary once saying refund-hunters could 'f*** off'.

 

According to the contest's terms and conditions, decals will be applied³ before the end of January next year and remain on the planes for up to six months.
