Ryanair charges to climb again

Ryanair - Bigger baggage fees

Ryanair is to increase its charges for baggage and checking in for the second time this year.

From May 5, the charge for checking in baggage rises from €9 per bag to €10, having gone up from €6 in January. The airport check-in fee goes up from €4 to €5. It went up from €3 in January.

Ryanair had warned earlier this year that it would continue to increase these charges in order to encourage more passengers to check in online and travel with just carry-on luggage.

This will enable it to cut the number of airport check-in desks it uses and the number of handling staff it employs.
