Wales boss Ryan Giggs happy to fly in the face of custom as he opts to take Easyjet flight to Lausanne for UEFA Nations League draw

New Wales manager Ryan Giggs, who spent his entire playing career at one of the richest football clubs in the world, has already demonstrated he understands the different financial situation in which he now operates.

Giggs’s first trip as Wales boss is to attend the draw on Wednesday in Lausanne for the new UEFA Nations League and the FA of Wales had offered him a list of business class flight alternatives from which to choose to travel to Switzerland.

But multi-millionaire Giggs, the former Manchester United great, said he was happy to take the budget airline easyJet flight from Manchester and did not need to go to the 55-country draw with a Welsh entourage in tow either.
