Ryanair increases checked-in baggage fees

Ryanair has announced that it will incentivise all of its passengers to travel light during the peak summer months by increasing checked-in baggage fees for July and August to £20 per bag, for all bookings made after midnight, Wednesday 7th April.
 
Checked-in bag fees remain at £15 for passengers travelling outside of the two peak summer months of July and August.  Passengers checking in bags in June or September, for example will pay £15 for a checked in bag.  Ryanair urged all of its passengers to avoid checked-in baggage fees by travelling with carry-on bags only using Ryanair’s free 10KG carry-on baggage allowance.
 
Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara said:          
 
“Ryanair is determined to incentivise passengers to travel light this summer by increasing our checked-in baggage fees for the months of July and August only.  These baggage fees, which are avoidable by passengers, will apply to bookings made after midnight (24:00hrs) Wednesday for travel in July and August.  From 1st September the checked-in bag fee will return to its current level of £15.  Over 70% of all Ryanair passengers will be unaffected by these changes because they travel with no checked-in bags”.
