Ryanair has won a significant victory in a legal dispute before the Berlin Regional Court against the Spanish online travel agency eDreams.
The court ruled that eDreams had broken the law by charging excessive "service fees" of €3,88 and misleadingly advertising its "Flexfare" fare. This decision follows a similar ruling in the US against Booking.com, which found that the platform had illegally harvested data from Ryanair.
Ryanair strongly criticised eDreams and called on the agency to stop its consumer deceptions and join the "Approved OTA" agreements, as other European online travel agencies have already done. These agreements are designed to ensure that consumers receive transparent and true prices for Ryanair flights.
