Ryanair's Baggage & Check In Charges (1 Viewer)

[Umfufu]

Just booked a long weekend in Paris for myself & the missus.

The charge per person for checking in 1 bag was €30!

Last time I checked it was €8.
When did they jack up the price?


We're not checking anything in.

I don't mean to be harsh but anyone who still chooses to fly with Ryanair shouldn't be surprised by their gouging ways and I just can't find any sympathy in me for their plight . It's not like ye haven't been warned that they are cowboys . It's like buying batteries from the pound shop and being shocked that they don't last long.

I understand that you are probably just pointing this out for the benefit of others and not whinging per say .

I'm just saying , like.

Booked Dusseldorf with Ryanair today, because the other person was bringing a bag I had to check in too,which was an extra 10, if you book separately you're stuck paying 2 sets of charges, they've got you both ways. Still, cant complain all that much when 2 people return is 100euro.

No you wouldn't, the credit card fee is per passenger per flight, so you'd have both paid €10 to book if you'd done two separate bookings, but you'd have saved on the airport check-in fee for yourself.

I agree anyone who moans about shoddy ryanair service should get a complimentary punch in the face.

I know that Ryanair are slimey bastards but I thought an increase from €8 a bag to €30 in the space of 3 months was a bit excessive, even for them.

In their defense, our flights cost €40 each.
Aer Lingus were charging over €100.

My comment was a tad harsh. I was inebriated at the time.

They're gouging cunts.
That anyone is still surprised by this or feels it worth mentioning is beyond me.

 

[Jerry Twig]

I feel its as worth mentioning as you felt it was worth replying to, Mr Sanctimonious.
Who's surprised?

The pissing thing was worth mentioning, sure.

Ryanair In Baggage Charge Shock didn't quite pack the same punch.

 

[Jerry Twig]

Sure I had to stick it somewhere. Anyway. it's always worth repeating that Ryanair are cunts

 

[plug]

ryanair are cunts.

heh. yes. that was worth repeating

 

[ratmonkey]

Ryanair are grand, as long as you don't expect anything much from them.

the good thing about ryanair is that you can check in for yr flights like 7 days before you fly..Aer Lingus is only 30 hours which means I can't check in for my return flight next week online..pain in my balls.

 

[Bold Lump]

It's absurd that eventhough I'm getting a flight for a grand total of €10. I still think they're cunts because €4.50 of that tenner is to administer my payment.

Oh, the humanity.

I quite liked the official Ryanair response to the 'charging a Euro to spend a penny' idea.

The press guy said that there was no plans to introduce this in the near future & that when Michael O'Leary is talking like this, he often makes it up as he's going along.
