Ryanair, Europe’s leading airline, and Expedia Group, one of the world's largest travel technology companies, announced a new partnership. This collaboration will enable Expedia Group to offer Ryanair's low-fare flights to its travelers, enhancing the choices and experiences available for those seeking value and convenience.
Expedia Group travelers will soon be able to book Ryanair flights directly through the platform, whether as part of a holiday package or a standalone booking. This integration ensures that travelers have access to their myRyanair account and receive essential flight updates directly, without needing to go through Ryanair’s customer verification process.
Dara Brady, Ryanair's Chief Marketing Officer, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting the benefits for Expedia Group travelers who can now enjoy Ryanair's extensive network of over 240 destinations. Susan Spinney, Senior Vice President for Trips Partnerships at Expedia Group, noted that this collaboration builds on previous initiatives, such as the successful integration of ‘Ryanair Rooms,’ allowing seamless hotel bookings for Ryanair customers.
The partnership also includes joint marketing campaigns aimed at raising awareness about the new opportunities for travelers. These campaigns will feature exclusive offers and discounts for users of both platforms, making travel even more affordable and appealing to a wide audience.
With this new agreement, both companies aim to provide travelers with greater flexibility and transparency in their travel plans. The partnership is set to expand the reach of Ryanair’s budget-friendly flights while leveraging Expedia Group’s comprehensive travel offerings. Travelers can look forward to booking Ryanair flights directly through Expedia Group in the coming months, benefiting from an unbeatable combination of affordability and convenience.
