New agreements for Ryanair approved OTAs are coming thick and fast now
Ryanair has announced Expedia Group as its latest approved online travel agency partnership.
The agreement enables Expedia Group to offer Ryanair’s flights to its travellers, who can book a holiday package or standalone flight booking.
It follows similar arrangements confirmed with lastminute.com, On the Beach, Tui, Loveholidays, Kiwi.com and Etraveli so far this year.
The partnership ensures Expedia Group travellers have access to their myRyanair account and flight updates directly without needing to complete Ryanair’s customer verification process.
Travellers can expect to book Ryanair flights directly through Expedia Group in the coming months.
Dara Brady, Ryanair chief marketing officer, said: “We are pleased to announce our latest ‘Approved OTA’ partnership with global travel tech leader, Expedia Group.
“Through this new agreement, Expedia Group travellers will be able to book Ryanair’s low-fare flights as part of their holiday packages or standalone bookings, with the guarantee of full price transparency and full access to their booking.”
Susan Spinney, Expedia Group’s senior vice-president for trips partnerships, added: “This marks a significant step in our partnership with Ryanair. Earlier this year, we collaborated on ‘Ryanair Rooms’, allowing Ryanair travellers to seamlessly book a hotel alongside their flight.
“Soon Ryanair flights will be available directly on Expedia Group’s marketplace, expanding the way travellers benefit from this powerful combination.
“Ryanair’s extensive network of budget-friendly flights, together with Expedia Group’s comprehensive travel offerings, creates an unbeatable value proposition for travellers seeking affordability and convenience.”
