Ryanair announced today, Tuesday 26 August, a strategic partnership with Booking Holdings, which owns leading global travel brands such as Booking.com, KAYAK, Priceline and Agoda.
Based on the agreement, travelers booking through Booking Holdings platforms will now have access to all flights on Ryanair’s network, which includes more than 235 destinations, with full price transparency. In addition, customers will gain access to their personal myRyanair account without the need to verify their details, thus ensuring immediate information on any changes and flight announcements.

Ryanair’s Chief Marketing Officer, Dara Brady, said:
