Ryanair has announced its latest “Approved OTA” partnership, this time with travel service provider Trip.com Group and its platforms TrainPal, TripBiz, BudgetAir, CheapTickets, Vliegwinkel, Vayama, and Flugladen.

This collaboration will allow Trip.com Group to offer Ryanair’s flights to travellers as part of its product offerings.

Similar to Ryanair’s existing “Approved OTA” agreements, this new deal ensures that travellers booking Ryanair flights via the Trip.com Group’s platform will have their contact and payment information provided to the airline. This guarantees access to their ‘myRyanair’ account and direct delivery of essential flight information without the need for additional customer verification.

Travellers can expect to start booking Ryanair flights directly through Trip.com in the coming weeks.
