Ryanair Recommendations
It really has been a long time since I blogged! I was booking flights with Ryanair during the week, and I noticed this recommendation:
Ryanair Recommendations
In general I think that Ryanair’s website is excellent. However, its recommendations are really bad for the following reasons:
- I have not flown to or from Gatwick ever with Ryanair, so it should not show me flights from Gatwick.
- The vast majority of my Ryanair flights are return flights from Dublin, so it should not suggest that I visit Dublin.
- All my profile details indicate that I live in Ireland, so it is highly unlikely that I will ever fly to Belfast, Shannon, or Cork.
- I am not sure why Alicante is there!
It really seems that Ryanair’s recommendation system is worse than a random suggestion engine!

Maybe they are recommending the flights that Ryanair would like you to buy, not the flights that you would like to buy.
