Ryanair, the Irish low-cost airline, is having a 24-hour £9.99 flash sale for people who "need a getaway" after the UK voted to leave the European Union.
An ad for the promotion on Twitter takes on the famous "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" monkeys and replaces them with UKIP leader Nigel Farage, former London Mayor Boris Johnson, and justice secretary Michael Gove - the leading three figures of the Leave campaign.
Earlier on Friday, the company made an error in a marketing email, encouraging people to "celebrate remaining in Europe with 1 million seats from £9.99".
CEO Michael O'Leary made the case for Remain as the deregulation of airlines had allowed them to make the market more competitive.
