Ryanair has released its June OTA Survey that shows eDreams and Tryp continue to overcharge customers by up to double the prices available on Ryanair’s website. The survey has revealed persistent overcharges on reserved seats, baggage, and priority boarding. OTAs have refused distribution agreements with Ryanair because their models rely on higher mark-ups.
The data indicated eDreams sold reserved seats for €17.92 that cost €8.00 on Ryanair.com, an overcharge of 124pc. Tryp sold Priority boarding for €31.00 against Ryanair’s €17.50, an increase of 77pc. Similar mark-ups appeared on 10kg bags at eDreams and 20kg bags at Tryp. Ryanair called on EU governments and consumer authorities to enforce price transparency in line with standards from its Approved OTA partners.
Ryanair says it has maintained its position on direct booking to protect consumers from inflated prices. The airline has highlighted repeated court and regulatory actions against such practices.
Dara Brady shared “Ryanair’s June survey once again exposes eDreams and Tryp overcharging consumers, in some cases by more than double the prices available on Ryanair’s website.”
Travel Etxra’s Eoghan Corry shared: “There are two messages that emerge from the monthly Ryanair overcharging survey. One is to the consumer, book direct with Ryanair and avoid OTAs. The second is to the OTAs themselves, sign up a deal with Ryanair and we will allow you to continue selling our product. Ryanair’s own charges were confusing, so it is harder the customer to see a mark-up, so I expect these releases to continue for some time to come.“
