This is great news for Expedia Group travelers who wish to book Ryanair’s low fares, unbeatable choice of 240+ destinations, and impeccable service. Simplifying the booking process, travellers booking Ryanair flights via Expedia Group have the option of a holiday package or standalone booking, with a path to Ryanair. This ensures Expedia Group travellers have access to their myRyanair account and essential 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.

Ryanair has a few select OTAs (Online Travel Agencies) that they partner with, called “Approved OTAs”. This means that Ryanair authorizes these OTAs to sell their flights, and guarantees that customers will not be overcharged for Ryanair products or services.  This week Etraveli Group was announced as Ryanair’s sixth ‘Approved OTA‘ (Online Travel Agency) adding to its alliances with prominent OTAs like lastminute.com, On the Beach, Tui, Loveholidays, and Kiwi.com.

Ryanair CMO, Dara Brady 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. We look forward to working with Expedia Group and carrying their customers onboard our market-leading network of Ryanair flights in the coming months.”

Expedia Group’s SVP for Trips Partnerships, Susan Spinney said:“This marks a significant step in our partnership with Ryanair. Earlier this year, we collaborated on ‘Ryanair Rooms,’ allowing Ryanair travelers to seamlessly book a hotel alongside their flight. Soon Ryanair flights will be available directly on Expedia Group’s marketplace, expanding the way travelers’ 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 travelers seeking affordability and convenience.”

When booking a Ryanair flight through an OTA, it’s important to make sure that the OTA you’re using is an approved Ryanair OTA. This will help ensure that you get the best price and don’t experience any problems with your booking.
