Ryanair launches new partnership with On the Beach

Ryanair 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 partnership 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.

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.”
