Ryanair asked to honour third-party bookings

THE National Consumer Agency (NCA) has called on Ryanair to honour bookings made by passengers through third-party websites amid threats by the airline that such customers will not be allowed to board their flights.

The NCA has confirmed that it formally wrote to the no-frills carrier last week asking Ryanair to allow those who made such bookings before August 11 to fly.

“It would be unfair and unwarranted to cancel tickets bought before August 11 by people who were unaware that there was an issue between Ryanair and other websites,” said an NCA spokesperson.
