Ryainair has agreed a new partnership, with Loveholidays, for its customers who wish to book low-cost package holidays

Just spotted this, whilst surfing the WWW, so thought it was worth sharing. Could be a potential option, for those looking for a 'low-cost' package holiday. Seem to have low deposits also, at £25pp. Full blurb below.



Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, today (23 Jan) agreed a new partnership with OTA loveholidays for its customers who wish to book low-cost package holidays. This deal allows loveholidays’ customers to buy Ryanair flights, seats, and bags as part of their loveholidays package at Ryanair’s low prices. It guarantees that loveholidays’ customers will not be overcharged and they will have direct access to their myRyanair account for all customer info questions.

This partnership with loveholidays also guarantees that Ryanair flight info will be provided directly to each customer’s email address, including pre-departure info on Ryanair T&C’s, and in cases of disruptions. loveholidays’ agrees that it will only display Ryanair’s real prices, without mark-ups and will only pass accurate customer contact and payment details to Ryanair. This means loveholidays’ customers will not need to complete Ryanair’s customer verification process which unauthorised OTA Pirates customers must continue to do.

This is great news for loveholidays’ customers who will now be able to book Ryanair’s low fares as part of their loveholidays package with full transparency, while still benefiting from loveholidays’ flexible payment plans and ATOL protection. Ryanair has long campaigned for all consumers to be protected from OTA Pirate scams, which includes overcharges, hidden mark-ups, and fake customer contact and payment info.

Ryanair’s Dara Brady said:

“We are pleased to announce this first OTA partnership with loveholidays, which will ensure that loveholidays customers can now book Ryanair flights, seats, and bags as part of their package with the guarantee that they will not be overcharged for flights, bags, or seats, they will receive flight updates directly from Ryanair and will also have direct access to their booking through their myRyanair account.”

loveholidays’ Chief Marketing Officer, Al Murray, added:

As the UK and Ireland’s largest and fastest growing OTA, we are delighted to be the world’s first Ryanair-approved package holiday provider. Our status as an approved Ryanair partner will ensure the process of booking and managing a Ryanair flight as part of a loveholidays package is seamless for customers; something no other package holiday provider can offer.

The loveholidays-Ryanair partnership means all our customers can take advantage of Ryanair’s low fares while benefiting from our unrivalled choice of hotels, flexible payment plans and ATOL protection. Ultimately, this new partnership highlights our commitment to championing consumer choice, with the overall aim of making travel more affordable and accessible while opening the world to everyone.”

    I like the one who sent 20 emails & got no response.

    Reminds me of some HUKD members who chanced a massive misprice in the middle of the night on a Friday of a bank holiday & bombarding the email address at 8.30am Tuesday morning after it gets cancelled.

    Serious though. that is not very good recent feedback.

    I think lot of the comments are missing the point and that is extra protection afforded by ATOL etc. I saw the article in Travel Weeky as well but decided against posting this as discussion thinking that people would fail to see the positive side. Thanks OP

    There is some hidden information somewhere. I would put money on it.

    Easyjet and Jet2 started by doing flights only and both now do package holidays so looks like it's the way forward

    But they might still charge for Toilet paper (in the small print somewhere, & will need a microscope to find) !
    There's bound to be a catch somewhere, despite ATOL.

    Would not like to be Guinea pig for them.

    Just thinking this through. Loveholidays gave you a full set of options when booking a package holiday. Will that mean that they will only show packages with Ryanair as the carrier or maybe having these as the first flights offered hence customers end up paying more...

    Loveholidays are awful. Only use them for searching. Then always book elsewhere. Their CS is awful and getting refunds is a nightmare. Avoid.
