On the Beach launches in Ireland

Online travel agent On the Beach has launched a new booking site in Ireland.

The package holiday specialists’ new Irish site - onthebeach.ie - means thousands of European beach holidays are now available to book in euro from Cork, Dublin, Kerry, Knock and Shannon airports. 

The OTA that sends over 1.5million people on holiday every single year with packages built by the customers themselves including flights, hotels, and ancillaries, has flexible payments and low deposits from €30 on offer. 

The Irish website launch follows the announcement of the online travel agent’s partnership agreement with Ryanair earlier this year.

At the launch of the partnership, Ryanair Marketing Director Dara Brady confirmed that “On the Beach customers can now book Ryanair flights, seats, and bags as part of their holiday package with the guarantee that they will have full price transparency of Ryanair products.” On the Beach CEO Shaun Morton labelled the agreement as “transformational”.

Zoe Harris, chief customer officer of On the Beach, said: “Our launch in Ireland means we are able to provide more choice and great value to holidaymakers who want to book a holiday from their local airport - as well as the protection they need to book with confidence.

“With our Ryanair partnership up and running, the sheer volume and variety of Ryanair flights from airports like Cork and Dublin are now available to book as part of a package, so our customers can easily find their dream holiday to popular destinations like Spain, Turkey and the Balearics. 

"And it’s not too late for this summer - we have plenty of last-minute deals available.”
