Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 low fares airline, today (Tues, 11 Nov) released its November OTA Overcharge Survey, showing some OTAs like eDreams, Tix, Fru, and Vola are still overcharging up to 3 times Ryanair’s prices. This month’s survey marks two years of exposing these OTAs who overcharge consumers, yet EU Govts and Consumer Authorities have failed to take any action to address these OTA overcharges.

Ryanair again calls on EU Govts (notably Spain’s useless Consumer Minister Bustinduy) and National Consumer Authorities to take urgent action to protect consumers from these overcharging OTAs and insist on mandatory price transparency from all OTAs, in line with the transparent pricing being delivered by all Ryanair’s “Approved OTA” partners, to protect consumers.

Ryanair’s Dara Brady said:

“Ryanair’s November OTA survey shows that eDreams, Tix, Fru, and Vola continue to overcharge unsuspecting consumers up to 3 times the prices on Ryanair’s website. It’s unacceptable that after two full years of publishing these monthly OTA overcharging surveys, EU Govts and National Consumer Authorities have done nothing to protect consumers from overcharging OTAs.

Ryanair again calls on EU Govt and Consumer Protection Authorities to take urgent action to protect consumers across Europe by bringing price transparency standards in line with the transparency standards applied by Ryanair’s OTA partners.”
