Ryanair price comparison only website
Ryanair, Europe’s largest low fares airline, 28-Apr 09 announced that it will allow “price comparison only” websites to access its timetable and pricing information in order to compare Ryanair’s guaranteed lowest fares with those of high fares, fuel surcharging, competitor airlines.

 

Ryanair will introduce a licence agreement where, for a small annual charitable donation of GBP 100, price comparison only websites, which provide fare comparison and seat availability information to consumers will be authorised to access Ryanair’s website at www.ryanair.com .
 
Ryanair will continue to ban reselling “ticket-tout” screenscraper websites which rip-off consumers by their unauthorised reselling of Ryanair flights at inflated prices and in some cases fictitious surcharges.
 
Ryanair celebrated the return of its guaranteed lowest fares onto price comparison only websites by releasing 1million GMP5 seats for travel across its European network in late May and June.

 
Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary  announced “Only Ryanair offers passengers the guaranteed lowest fares, Our new licence agreements will now allow our fares to be listed on “price comparison only” websites which will prove to more and more consumers that Ryanair’s guaranteed lowest fares can not be beaten. All licence fees will be donated by Ryanair to the charity nominated annually by our staff.
 
“Ryanair will continue to fight against “ticket-tout” screenscrapers which are reselling Ryanair seats without authorisation and are ripping off consumers with inflated fares and fictitious fuel surcharges. Thomas Cook recently admitted overcharging one Ryanair passenger GBP 243 by applying a non-existent fuel surcharge of £160 and inflating Ryanair’s fare by GBP 83.
