Ryanair: The Latest Assault on Price Comparison Sites and Travelers

Ryanair intends to annul all bookings made through third party websites in the following days, according to the Independent: Ryanair travellers may lose bookings.

Ryanair will give refunds to all of the websites involved, Mr O'Leary said, but passing on those refunds to intending passengers would be a matter for the websites.

"We want to cause as much chaos for the [websites] as possible," he said.

It's not April is it? Seems to me that punishing your passengers to get to third party websites is insane at best.
