Love Holidays becomes first Ryanair verified package holiday provider

On 23rd January 2024 Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, agreed a new partnership with online travel agency (OTA) loveholidays, for its customers who wish to book low-cost package holidays. This new deal allows loveholidays’ customers to buy Ryanair flights, seats, and bags as part of their loveholidays package at Ryanair’s low prices.

Loveholidays’ customers  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.

This new agreement means loveholidays’ customers will not need to complete Ryanair’s customer verification process which unauthorised OTAs customers must continue to do.

This is great news for loveholidays’ customers who will now be able to access 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.”
