Ryanair today (Thurs, 9 Jan) released its January OTA Survey, which shows three remaining OTAs continue to overcharge consumers – eDreams, Vola, and Booking.com – by 125% over Ryanair prices. 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.
Ryanair continues to campaign to protect consumers from these few remaining overcharging OTAs, like eDreams, Vola and Booking.com, and calls on EU Govts and Consumer Authorities to demand that these outlier OTAs, offer consumers transparent pricing, just like Ryanair’s “Approved OTA” partners now do.
