Ryanair up their fees - yet again
The low-cost carrier has done it again. They have made it to the headline with yet another incredulous announcement. The fees for checked-in luggage will rise steeply, in some cases up towards the 250% mark.
In an attempt to make passengers travel with hand-luggage only, Ryanair is raising all their fees for checked-in baggage. If you only carry hand-luggage, weighing less than 10 kilo, you will not notice any differences. However, if you want to check-in your bags, the following will now apply;
Checking in 1 bag online: will rise from €10 to €15 per flight from next month, a 50% increase.
Checking in 1 bag at the airport: will rise from €20 to €30 per flight from next month, a 50% increase.
In an attempt to profit further, Ryanair is doubling the checked-in baggage allowance for each passenger. From having allowed each passenger a weight allowance of only 15 kg, you can now bring with you 30 kilos, as long as no single bag weighs more than 15 kilos. A strange turnaround from an airline that says that they want to get rid of checked-in baggage.
Checking in 2nd bag online: will rise from €20 to €35 per flight from next month, a 75% increase.
Checking in 2nd bag at the airport: will rise from €20 to €70 per flight from next month, a 250% increase.
If you bag weighs too much, you will now have to pay even more for the extra kilos as the excess bag fee is being increased from €15 to €20 per kilo. So, do note that if you have more than 1 kilo too much, you are better off paying the 2nd bag charge online.
If you are travelling with checked-in luggage, the other airlines start to look like a more appealing offer, and possibly even a cheaper on

Hi, you are welcome. It is sometimes hard to know all the fees etcetera, you won't know exactly until you fill out all the info. Sometimes it will probably be cheaper with other airlines, if you have a lot of luggage anyway.

It's OK to travel with hand luggage only, in summer. But, we certainly need more stuff in winter. Ryan Air is big for flights from the UK to Tenerife. Tenerife has all round spring weather which speaks in Ryan Air's favor.
However, when you are not so young any more, you might need more stuff to take along. For some, this means medicines which would be too heavy to all stack into hand luggage.
Thanks for pointing out that extra luggage is costing more now at Ryan Air.

Absolutely, and weigh your bag before you arrive to the airport. 1 extra kilo will soon set you back EUR 20!
