RYANAIR LAUNCHES NEW
PARNTERSHIP
WITH LEADING OTA ON THE
BEACH
GUARANTEEING NO OVERCHARGING
FOR RYANAIR FLIGHTS/ ANCILLARIES
Ryanair, Europe's No.1 airline, today
(27 Feb) announced its 4th OTA partnership with leading
OTA, On the Beach, who will now be authorised to offer Ryanair
flights, seats, and bags to their customers at Ryanair's low prices
as part of their holiday packages. This deal guarantees that On the
Beach customers will not be overcharged for Ryanair flights and
services and will have direct access to their myRyanair
account.
This partnership also guarantees that
Ryanair flight information will be provided directly to each
customer's email address, including pre-departure info on Ryanair
T&Cs and info in the case of flight disruption. Under this new
agreement, On the Beach agrees that it will only display Ryanair's
real prices, without mark-ups and will only pass all relevant
customer contact and payment details to Ryanair. This means On the
Beach customers will not need to complete Ryanair's customer
verification process which unauthorised OTA Pirates customers must
continue to do.
This is great news for On the Beach
customers who will now be able to book Ryanair's low fares as part
of their On the Beach package with full price transparency, while
still benefiting from On the Beach's flexible payment plans,
customer perks (including free lounge and fast track), and ATOL
protection.
Ryanair has long campaigned for all
consumers to be protected from OTA Pirate scams, including
overcharges, hidden mark-ups, and providing fake customer contact
and payment info. As a verified partner of Ryanair, On the Beach
customers can book their package holiday with a Ryanair flight with
full price transparency safe in the knowledge that they will not be
overcharged for their flights or ancillaries.
Ryanair's Dara Brady said:
"Ryanair is pleased to announce our latest partnership with
leading OTA, On the Beach. This new deal will see Ryanair partner
with its fourth approved OTA partner - the second OTA we have
partnered with this month.
On
the Beach customers can now book Ryanair flights, seats, and bags
as part of their holiday package with the guarantee that they will
have full price transparency of Ryanair products (without any
overcharges or hidden mark-ups), and that they will receive any
information regarding their flight directly from Ryanair as well as
having direct access to their booking through their myRyanair
account.
Shaun Morton, CEO of On the Beach
Group plc said:
"We
are excited to have entered into this transformational partnership
with Ryanair. This will improve the booking and travel experience
for our customers selecting Ryanair flights, while ensuring we can
continue to provide customers with best value package holidays. We
will continue our campaign to safeguard consumer choice in the
travel sector and the signing of this agreement marks a significant
milestone in On the Beach's journey, as we strive to do the best
for our customers. Importantly, this agreement enables both parties
to move on from outstanding litigation and we look forward to
working closely with our new partner."
