Ryanair Prime enables a Member, together with their Ryanair Prime Companion if applicable, to avail of the following benefits, subject to certain limitations, and strictly only in respect of flights which are booked and operated during a current Contract Period:
i. Regular emails giving access to exclusive discounted flight sales,
ii. a limited number of free reserved seating in specific rows and
iii. travel insurance for all flights.
A Member can book a flight to use personally, to use together with their Ryanair Prime Companion, or for their Ryanair Prime Companion to travel independently. All Ryanair Prime bookings can only be made by the Member through their myRyanair account.
- A. Exclusive member emails: Members will be notified regularly by email to the email address linked to the Ryanair Prime account about upcoming exclusive flight sales and other relevant offers. These emails are an essential part of the Ryanair Prime service and are a necessary feature of the Ryanair Prime contract. Therefore, Members cannot opt-out of receiving them.
- B. Discounted fares: Members can book an unlimited number of flights with discounted Ryanair Prime fares for the Member and if applicable, their Ryanair Prime Companion, subject to availability. Certain fare offers may be discontinued between the offer and the point of booking. Discounted fares will only apply to flights that depart within the Member’s current Contract Period.
- C. Travel insurance: A Member and if applicable their Ryanair Prime Companion will automatically have travel insurance coverage for all Ryanair Group (Ryanair DAC, Ryanair UK, Buzz, Lauda and Malta Air) flights, strictly provided that;
- the flight operates during the current Contract Period;
- the Ryanair Prime subscription is valid,
- the Member has not opted out of insurance cover during the sign up flow for themselves or their Ryanair Prime Companion);; and
- the Member or Ryanair Prime Companion as the case may be, is not subject to the Insurance Restrictions.
The travel insurance will cover Members and their Ryanair Prime Companions in the event of flight cancellations caused by injury or illness (except Covid-19 and pre-existing medical issues) and various events such as medical emergencies, delayed departures and stolen baggage. In the EU, Members over 70 years old will be excluded from some specific aspects of the insurance, such as the medical protection, but they will still be able to benefit from the other aspects of the insurance coverage. For more detailed information regarding what is and is not covered by the complimentary travel insurance included with Ryanair Prime, see the dedicated page of our insurance service provider Xcover. Membership Data will be processed by XCover in accordance with their Privacy Policy.
Members will have all their Ryanair Group flights that depart during the Contract Period covered by the insurance protection, regardless of whether the booking was made before subscribing to Ryanair Prime or through a different account than the Ryanair Prime member's account.
Members can decide to opt-out of the insurance cover during the sign-up flow of Ryanair Prime. In that case, Members who opt out, together with their Ryanair Prime Companions, will not be covered with XCover´s insurance protection. Ryanair Prime Members who opt-out of insurance cover for them and their Ryanair Prime Companion will still be subject to the same Voucher Fee had they availed of the insurance cover and shall not be entitled to any refund, discount or compensation in this regard.
- D. Seat reservation: A Member may reserve up to 12 free seats for the Member and 12 free seats for their Ryanair Prime Companion in designated rows on specific flights at no additional cost, subject to availability. See rules for reserved seating. There is no guarantee that a Member and their Ryanair Prime Companion will be able to select seats together. Where designated seats are available for Members and/or Ryanair Prime Companions, they must select seats from those designated seats and random seat allocation will not be available.
Where no Ryanair Prime designated seats are available, Members and Ryanair Prime Companions will be subject to random allocation.
If the Member and/or Ryanair Prime Companion prefer to choose a seat other than a Ryanair Prime designated seat or a randomly allocated seat, they may do so, but they must pay the difference between the price of the preferred seat and the price of the seat available through Ryanair Prime. For Regular, Flexi and Plus fares, the price of a reserved seat (£/€9) will be discounted from the total bundle price. For Ryanair Prime Member bookings and Ryanair Prime Companion bookings, reserved seat(s) are shown as discounted from the total bundle price, following the same discount rules mentioned above. Availability of seats and row distribution may vary depending on the operated aircraft.
Please be aware that any remaining Ryanair Prime Benefits from any given Contract Period cannot be carried over to any subsequent Contract Period, even in the event that the Member renews the Ryanair Prime subscription. A Member cannot book a flight with Ryanair Prime Benefits during their current Contract Period that departs after the current Contract Period terminates EVEN IF the Member plans to renew their subscription.
Where available, Members will be able to select any Ryanair fare bundle in making a Ryanair Prime booking and any Ryanair Prime Benefits will be factored into the price of the available fare bundle options.
Members will be able to change any flight fare booked through Ryanair Prime for another flight fare for a fee (see Fees page). If a Member cancels a flight in respect of which they have used Ryanair Prime Benefits, or decides not to board a flight in respect of which they have used Ryanair Prime Benefits, the Ryanair Prime Benefits associated with such flight shall be forfeited, and no refund shall be offered subject to Article 10 of the General Terms and Conditions of Carriage.
Ryanair Prime Benefits cannot, under any circumstances, be sold or otherwise transferred to any third party. Ryanair Prime Members and their Ryanair Prime Companions cannot be substituted for any third party under any circumstances. Ryanair Prime Benefits cannot be applied to bookings made prior to the current Contract Period or bookings made using a myRyanair account other than the Member’s myRyanair account. However, flights booked before a passenger subscribed to Ryanair Prime will, subject to these Terms, be covered by the travel insurance, provided they depart during an active Contract Period.
Ryanair Prime Benefits expire at the end of each Contract Period. Members and Ryanair Prime Companions who have not used all of their respective Ryanair Prime Benefits by the end of the Contract Period are not eligible for a refund or any form of compensation, regardless of the reasons for not using them.
