It's a stupidity because in fact RYR would have won many of these comparisons, even including these taxes and fees...
I share your thoughts.
Websites like the Racing Post and Betfair have a huge databases which are scraped by many individuals (albeit with their permission). It attracts people to their sites and revenue from advertising.
It doesn't add up to me, as the likes of Skyscanner were doing them a favour IMO.
From what I've read the original Ryanair website was designed by students. I think it's begging to show? They need tools similar to Skyscanner, but maybe Ryanair is happy with their current situation?
