Following my post earlier today about Ryanair’s rescue fare for passengers stranded by the collapse of Sterling Airlines, I received an email from DFDS Seaways with details of the free travel available for stranded Sterling passengers on their Harwich to Esbjerg ferry.

DFDS Seaways are offering free transport to Sterling Airways passengers after the airline went bust this morning. To assist with repatriation, DFDS Seaways will offer free travel onboard the m.s. DANA SIRENA to all Danish residents and British travellers holding valid Sterling Airline tickets. DFDS Seaways will honour all valid Sterling Airlines tickets and offer free travel onboard the m.s. DANA SIRENA to Esbjerg subject to availability.

All Sterling Airlines’ customers who hold a valid ticket with the airline are eligible for free travel from Harwich to Esbjerg in a standard class cabin, subject to availability, until Thursday 6th November. For
more information contact DFDS Seaways on 0871 882 0890 for more details.

Anna Etmanska of the Europe a la Carte blogging team alerted me to the fact that SAS are offering stranded Sterling passengers free travel (although passengers will have to pay airport taxes, fees and charges) until midnight on 30 October. This offer is only available at the airport upon production of a Sterling ticket, if there are seats in economy class on the plane.
