Ryanair increases bag fees by 50%
7 September 2009Ryanair is to increase the fees it charges to check in bags and sporting equipment from 1 October by up to 50%.
The airline is to increase the fee for checking in a bag to £15 from £10 now if booked in advance online and to £30 from £20 now if you pay at the airport.
Ryanair spokesman Stephen McNamara said: “‘These baggage fees are all avoidable by all passengers who choose to travel with carry on luggage only. Over 70% of Ryanair passengers will be totally unaffected by these changes as they already travel with just one carry on bag, which is free of charge.’â€
