The ever-evolving world of travel witnessed a strategic alliance that promises to revolutionize budget-friendly airfare. Ryanair, Europe’s leading low-cost carrier, has joined forces with Trip.com Group, a global travel giant known for its diverse offerings.

This dynamic partnership, dubbed the “Approved OTA” agreement, signifies a significant step forward for both companies and ultimately, for savvy travelers

Widening the Reach of Affordable Flights

At the heart of this collaboration lies Ryanair’s impressive flight network expansion. Through Trip.com Group’s extensive online travel platforms, including TrainPal, TripBiz, BudgetAir, CheapTickets, Vliegwinkel, Vayama, and Flugladen, millions of travelers will now have access to Ryanair’s renowned budget-friendly flights. Imagine the possibilities – exploring charming European getaways, embarking on an epic adventure across continents, or simply visiting loved ones – all without breaking the bank!

It follows similar arrangements confirmed with lastminute.com, On the Beach, Tui, Loveholidays, Kiwi.com and Etraveli so far this year.

Similar to Ryanair’s existing “Approved OTA” agreements, this new deal ensures that travellers booking Ryanair flights via the Trip.com Group’s platform will have their contact and payment information provided to Ryanair.
