Ryanair and Booking Holdings sign partnership agreement

International

Ryanair, Europe’s number one airline, today announced a landmark partnership agreement with Booking Holdings, whose global travel brands include Booking.com, KAYAK, Priceline and Agoda.

Through this partnership, customers booking via Booking Holdings’ brands will now have access to Ryanair flights across the airline’s network of more than 235 destinations – with full price transparency on all Ryanair products. The agreement also ensures that customers booking Ryanair flights through Booking.com, KAYAK, Priceline and Agoda can access their myRyanair account without going through Ryanair’s customer verification process, meaning they will receive all important flight updates directly.

This development marks positive news for travelers across Europe, as Booking Holdings joins Ryanair’s growing list of “Approved OTA” partners, which already includes loveholidays, lastminute, Travelfusion, Paxport, Kiwi, On the Beach, TUI, El Corte Inglés and Expedia. It further demonstrates how OTAs and Ryanair can work together to protect customers while offering more choice at lower fares.

Ryanair CMO Dara Brady said:

“This new partnership with Booking Holdings is great news for all customers booking or comparing prices on Booking.com, KAYAK, Priceline and Agoda. They can now rely on full price transparency and will receive all important Ryanair travel updates directly on their mobile. This agreement shows how ‘Approved OTAs’ and Ryanair can work hand in hand to protect consumers and deliver more choice at better value.”

Todd Henrich, SVP Corporate Development at Booking Holdings, added:

“We are delighted to partner with Ryanair to provide travelers with even more choice and value when booking their trips across our platforms. By combining access to Ryanair’s low fares and network of over 235 destinations with the innovative technology, user-friendliness and flexibility of our brands, this partnership reinforces our commitment to delivering a trusted, seamless booking experience for customers worldwide.”
