Ryanair launches voice controlled bookings
Ryanair passengers can book using Alexa voice recognition as part of the airline’s latest customer experience improvements in the fourth year of its Always Getting Better programme.
Alexa can be used to search flights, hotels and flight status on the Ryanair.com website.
Ryanair also announced it had chosen Zodiac to provide new slimline seats on its Boeing 737 MAX ‘Gamechanger’ aircraft, which will be delivered in spring 2019, and which have more legroom and overhead lockers.
The enhancements coincide with the announcement that Ryanair has carried its one billionth passenger since its first flight took off from Waterford to Gatwick, in July 1985.
To celebrate the achievement, Ryanair is running a one-day seat sale today with 20% off fares on millions of seats.
