Ryanair’s fare and schedule information is being integrated into the flight search at kayak.co.uk.
The travel search engine is also adding lastminute.com to its hotel search.
A new holidays channel will allow users to check packages across multiple sites such as Thomas Cook, On the Beach ad Virgin Holidays.
The moves follow claimed UK search volume up by 34% last year over 2008.
CEO and co-founder Steve Hafner said: “Europe is a major priority for us, and our team has performed exceptionally well.
“As Europe’s largest low fares carrier, Ryanair is a great addition to Kayak.co.uk. Likewise, the inclusion of lastminute.com and the holidays product greatly enhances our offering for European travellers.”
Keith Melnick, executive vice president of corporate development, who oversees the company’s European operations, added, “We know people are working even harder to find a bargain. These additions reinforce KAYAK’s position as a must-have tool for the value-conscious traveller.”
