Ryanair encourages passengers to travel light

Ryanair has confirmed that its optional checked-in bag fees will return to £15 (per bag) and £25 (for heavy bags) for travel from 1st September onwards on all routes except international routes to/from the Canary Islands, which will remain at £20 (per bag) and £30 (heavy bag) to encourage passengers to travel light.
 
Ryanair urges all passengers to 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’s Stephen McNamara said:
 
“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. 
 
“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.”
