New CAPTCHA

Ryanair has rolled out a new CAPTCHA security system on its websites in a bid to stop "unauthorised" screenscraper websites.
It had already trialled the technology on its Irish and UK websites and has now introduced it across all markets.
But, in true Ryanair style, it has put its own marketing spin on the CAPTCHA codes, claiming they will also make booking "more fun".
Under the system, customers are asked to verify their booking by completing an question and answer process and by simple word recognition and repetition.
It first introduced CAPTCHA technology in 2011 but was forced to modify it after online agents found a way around it.
At least, with the new system, the words are easy to read - with the old system, they were sometimes very difficuly to read or even completely unreadable.

“Ryanair is continually striving to improve the customer experience of our 80m passengers and following a successful trial, we have introduced a new CAPTCHA system on our Ryanair.com website, which will further improve the usability of Ryanair.com for 1.2m daily users – and make booking our low-fare flights even more fun!
With helpful travel reminders, words of wisdom and some simple brain teasers, Ryanair passengers can look forward to even faster access to the lowest fares, while the CAPTCHA facility also improves consumer protection, preventing passengers being ripped-off by unauthorised screenscraper websites mis-selling Ryanair’s low fares.”
