  • "is ryanair serious?" Yes.
  • Are they at liberty to take this action? Yes.
  • Are the reasons given the actual reasons? Who knows and who cares?
  • Will it make any difference to their website response speed? No.
  • Why? Because their site will be 'scraped' and 'crawled' by several thousand search engines and research sites every day. This will be companies who carry out comparative pricing reviews for their competitors and others.
  • Will it make any difference to their revenue? Probably not one way or the other.
  • Why do it? To enforce their regulations and gain more news space.
  • Does it matter a jot? No. Some fewer people will book but many more will book with FR this year for all the reasons we know.
