Added prices make Ryanair cancel bookings
Several Spanish travel websites have been adding charges to Ryanair flights which the airline says is against their conditions.Ryanair has announced that it is to start cancelling flights booked on its services via portal websites in Spain in ten days time.
The airline has said it has contacted the travel booking websites concerned to inform them about their policy. Sales Director, Sinead Finn said on Thursday in Barcelona that only bookings made through travel websites for travel after August 25 would be cancelled, and that those made through the site’s own website would be unaffected.
Ryanair is returning the money paid to the travel websites concerned so they can pass it on to the traveller concerned, saying they cannot pay the traveller direct as they do not have the data.
Ryanair justifies its action by saying that the travel sites have violated their conditions of use, and increased their prices with ‘hidden costs’. In the case of Atrápalo.com, the extras amount to 10 € a ticket according to Ryan Air.
