RYANAIR LAUNCHES "RYANAIR HOLIDAYS" SERVICE
COMPLETE PACKAGE HOLIDAYS NOW AVAILABLE ON RYANAIR.COM
Ryanair, Europe's favourite airline, today (1 Dec) launched a
package holiday service, "Ryanair Holidays", offering its 119m
customers flights, accommodation and transfer packages, all on the
Ryanair.com website and at the lowest prices.
Ryanair has partnered with Spain-based tour operator, Logitravel,
and accommodation provider, World2Meet, to create "Ryanair
Holidays", which launches in the UK, Ireland and Germany today,
with other markets to follow in 2017.
"Ryanair Holidays" follows the successful launch of Ryanair Car
Hire and Ryanair Rooms and is the latest digital innovation
delivered by Ryanair Labs, under the "Always Getting Better"
programme, which includes a best-in-class personalised website, and
dynamic mobile app.
In London, Ryanair's Kenny Jacobs said:
"Ryanair's low fares transformed air travel in Europe and now we're
going to transform the package holiday market with the launch of
"Ryanair Holidays", offering our customers the unbeatable
combination of Ryanair's low fares, a wide range of accommodation
options and transfers - all on the Ryanair.com website and all at
the lowest prices.
Consumers have been paying too much for package holidays for years
and more and more want to put their own packages together
themselves. Ryanair customers already enjoy the biggest route
network in Europe and with "Ryanair Holidays" can choose from a
fantastic range of 3, 4 and 5 star hotels throughout the
Mediterranean and Europe's capital cities, ideal for last minute
getaways, summer family holidays, winter sun or city
breaks.
Following the launch of Ryanair Car Hire and Ryanair Rooms, even
more customers are coming to Ryanair for services and products
other than flights, and this is another significant step on our
journey to becoming the Amazon of air travel. "Ryanair Holidays"
offers full consumer protection, is fully ATOL bonded and insured,
and won't be beaten on price. So before you go on holiday, you only
have to visit one place - Ryanair.com."
Logitravel's Tomeu Bennasar said:
"Our team has worked hard to develop the package holidays
application for Ryanair and we are very satisfied with the result -
a usable interface with a wide range of hotels and vacation
products to be booked seamlessly with the flight, under one price
and which is 100% customisable by each customer. Without a doubt,
this will be a new Ryanair service that its clients will enjoy
using."
World2Meet Chief Commercial Officer,
Mark Nueschen, said:
"For us, the partnership agreement is excellent news. We are
convinced that our extensive experience in destination assistance
and hotel contracting will be a fundamental part of the success of
this project."
