I'm surprised Ryanair is supported, given that they've been engaged in a long and nasty lawsuit with Expedia, over scraping their fares. I was under the impress

  If I am not mistakne, one cannot book via Google Flights, they will send you to Ryanair for the booking. Would make it a different case than the Expedia one.

    Wonder why Ryanair would insist on having the user go through their website. Seeing as they monetize absolutely fucking everything, I suspect there's a bunch of crap they're doing with user data…

      It's not related to data, it's related to direct vs indirect distribution. If you buy a ticket through a travel agency, such as expedia, they take a small cut, and the global distribution system takes another cut. If you book direct, they can keep that money :)

      Because they really want to push their other stuff. Transfers, rental cars and hotels is where the money is made.

  Are they? I don't think that Ryanair minds anyone showing the flights. There are enough sites doing it (Kiwi, swoodoo etc.). They just don't allow you to sell tickets or collect fees which is the reason why most sites don't list them.
