RYANAIR TELLS LASTMINUTE.COM TO STOP TELLING PORKIES
Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares airline today (Thursday, 8th March
2007) called on lastminute.com to stop selling Ryanair flights and to stop
misleading passengers. Ryanair announced yesterday that it is taking steps
to block travel agent websites because they:
Charge mark ups of up to 100% on top of the price of tickets
Provide incorrect and misleading terms and conditions
Fail to advise passengers of important schedule change information
Deny passengers the opportunity to pre-book bags online
Do not provide web check in and priority boarding options
Lastminute.com claimed in today's newspapers that "Ryanair is fully aware
and satisfied with the terms and conditions published on our site". This is
false.
Speaking today, Peter Sherrard, Ryanair's Head of Communications, said:
"Ryanair has written to the Trading Standards Institute to complain about
these practices at lastminute.com and will continue to take steps to block
bookings made by online travel agents. It is time to stop people being
misled by rip-off middlemen like lastminute.com".
