In their February OTA survey, Ryanair provided a table in which companies such as On The Beach, eSky & Opodo overcharge their customers:

Adding to this further was Dara Brady of Ryanair:

“Our Feb survey continues to expose the scams and overcharging of OTA Pirates, with On The Beach highlighted as Feb’s No.1 Pirate for its egregious 117% overcharge of £125 for a £45 flight change fee on Ryanair.com, while Opodo are charging a €60 “service” fee for a non-existent service and eSky are charging a €33 “cancellation” fee for flights that cannot be cancelled.”

“These are just the latest examples of hundreds where OTA Pirates are unlawfully scraping Ryanair.com to overcharge, dupe and scam unsuspecting consumers for Ryanair products and services.”

“It is unacceptable that the UK and Irish Govts and EU consumer agencies continue to ignore this rampant digital piracy and anti-consumer mis-selling.”

“Ryanair will continue to campaign against these OTA Pirates, exposing their digital piracy and scams and will continue to call for these OTA Pirates to be outlawed and their scams ended.”

All eyes will be on how this fight against OTAs will continue over the course of this year.
