Ryanair is to launch ‘Ryanair Rooms’, a technology-powered collaboration with the Expedia groups over the coming weeks.
A written release form Expedia describes the deal as “a renewed offering that leverages Expedia group’s white label template technology,” allowing Ryanair customers to book a hotel or a Vrbo home rental with their flight and access Expedia Group’s Virtual Agent, an AI-powered customer service tool.
The sites will premier in December in Ireland and England, with a phased rollout to additional markets next year. It is the latest of a series of alliances with hotel groups by Ryanair to sell add-ons on the site.
The partnership with Ryanair is one of a series of Expedia’s new and expanded travel partnerships across Europe.
The partnerships include B2B technology, advertising partnerships, and supply distribution deals. These partnerships aim to connect European partners with Expedia Group’s global traveller base and provide access to innovative technology and industry expertise.
The partnerships with Ryanair, Icelandair, and ADAC are examples of Expedia Group’s technology-powered collaborations. These collaborations offer solutions like White Label Template and Rapid API, allowing partners to enhance their travellers’ experience by leveraging Expedia Group’s extensive inventory and global lodging options.
Expedia Group Media Solutions is working with brands like Deutsche Hospitality, the European Travel Commission (ETC), and the Croatian National Tourism Board (CNTB) to provide targeted advertising solutions. These partnerships help reach and engage millions of travellers and promote destinations in Europe.
Expedia Group is also expanding its supply partnerships, including collaborations with Turkish Airlines, Iberia Airlines, Sonder, TravelStaytion, Alma, Drivalia, Green Motion, and Record go. These partnerships aim to help European partners capture more market share and gain visibility among Expedia Group’s global customer base.
