Ryanair Discount 2012
In this article, we discuss the variety of sources of Ryanair discount ticket prices in 2012 .
Ryanair fares are offered by travel agents, package holiday companies and the airline itself.
1. Travel agents and Travel Management Companies (TMC’ s) simply book direct on the Ryanair website and charge you a transaction fee to do so. This is the case for online and offline companies. Unless the agent has marked up the fare, you’ll pay exactly the same as booking yourself online although if you pay the agent by credit card, you’ll pay two credit card surcharges (the Ryanair and the Travel Agents merchant fees). And you may incur problems because you haven’t booked direct and you may not have been informed of all the baggage and other restrictions.
2. Package Holiday Companies (online and offline) will bundle hotels and flights together, add a mark-up and sell that online or through brochures. Ryanair does not offer discounted prices to these companies. They may claim to offer a discount but you can achieve better prices if you follow our summary advice below.
3. Ryanair Direct. Michael O’Leary is disliked by the “travel trade” in general, because he does not want to work with them. Instead, the airlines distribution model is to sell only direct to the public. Indeed, Ryanair has taken some trade companies to court to try and stop their unauthorised access to his reservation system. An exception to this situation is our flight comparison search facility, on our Flight Search page (see above).
So, to summarise, the fact is that you will never find a discount Ryanair ticket cheaper than that offered by Ryanair direct.
Always use our authorised Ryanair Flight Search because you will be offered live Ryanair prices at Ryanair.com prices AND alternatives such as British Airways.com , easyJet, WizzAir, Jet2 etc.
Even if you know that Ryanair is your choice, you may see an airline that you had never considered before.
And for the cheapest hotel rates, with a low price guarantee, our comparison site will find you the best deal. See our Hotel Search above.
