Ryanair Adjusts Optional Checked-In Bag Fees

Ryanair has confirmed that its optional checked-in bag fees will return to €15 (per bag) and €25 (for heavy bags) for travel from 1 September 2010 onwards on all routes except international routes to/from the Canary Islands, which will remain at €20 (per bag) and €30 (heavy bag).

Ryanair passengers can avoid checked-in baggage fees altogether by snapping up a Ryanair approved Samsonite cabin bag (available on ryanair.com) to fully utilise their free 10kg carry-on allowance.

 “Ryanair encourages passengers to travel light with our free 10KG carry-on bag allowance. By increasing our optional checked-in baggage fees this summer the number of checked-in bags reduced while passenger numbers increased,” said Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara. “Now Ryanair will encourage passengers to travel light on our international routes to/from the Canary Islands this winter by keeping optional checked-in baggage fees at €20(15KG) and €30 (20KG). Almost 70% of Ryanair’s Canary Islands passengers will be unaffected by these changes because they already travel without checked-in bags.”
