Ryanair released its January OTA Survey, which shows three remaining OTAs continue to overcharge consumers – eDreams, Vola, and Booking.com – by 125% over Ryanair prices.
In a statement, Ryanair said that eDreams imposed the biggest mark-up, overcharging consumers more than double the price (€27.49) for a 10kg bag that costs just €11.99 on Ryanair.com. Vola also overcharged consumers (€16.50) for a reserved seat that cost just €8.00 on Ryanair’s website, while Booking.com was overcharging consumers (from 7% to 27%) for air fares that are far cheaper when booked directly on each airline’s website as set out above.
