Ryanair announced a new partnership with Skyscanner, giving the global flights marketplace direct access to the airline’s fares and ancillaries.
It is the latest in a series of negotiated partnerships between an online marketplace or booking website and the European budget airline, which has in recent years very publicly clashed with a number of online travel agent (OTA) websites.
The agreement between Ryanair and Skyscanner means guests browsing flights will see Ryanair’s prices with 'full transparency', the airline explained.
Specifically, it adds greater clarity around the additional charges for things like baggage, seat selection and priority boarding when guests compare Ryanair flights with other competitors.
"We look forward to working with Skyscanner over the coming months," said Dara Brady, Ryanair chief marketing officer.
Catriona King, Skyscanner VP, meanwhile, added: "We aim to give our travellers access to the best prices and widest choice, to take the hassle out of trip planning.
"Partnering with Ryanair will give our millions of travellers direct access to its vast route network for further travel inspiration and help them explore exciting destinations.”
For guests, the news promises clearer comparisons across schedules and fares when planning European trips.
