Ryanair Luggage Allowances

Ryanair have become the leaders of the "extra charges" when booking your flights and charging to place luggage in the hold is one of them. If you can manage with their generous 10kg hand luggage then that's the way to go. However, if you must place luggage in the hold then you'll have to pay per bag (maximum 15kg) for each leg of your journey. Be sure to pay the bag fee when booking as it's more expensive at check-in. And be sure to check in on line (for which there's another fee) as checking in at the airport is more expensive again.

Please take a look at the Ryanair website directly for an explanation of all their fees and luggage allowances as we cannot keep up with them here!

And remember ... When Ryanair states a limit of 15kg this doesn't mean that when travelling as a couple one can carry 20kg and the other 10kg. "All baggage allowances are personal and cannot be combined". This nonsense is being enforced to the extent that people are having to repack at the check in desk so that each individual bag conforms to the weight limit (particularly a nightmare for families with young children).

The result is long waits at the check-in desks as people juggle the contents of their luggage between bags. Just what the airline claim they are trying to prevent! Strangely, having checked in online you still have to wait in the same queue to drop off any bags so online check-in is of no advantage if you have hold luggage (well that was certainly our experience at Bergamo airport recently).

One thing to remember in their favour is that if you travel light and book early you can get some incredible bargains ... just booked flights from Malaga to Girona for €5.58 each!!

We've received numerous reports from travellers flying to Spain from the UK who have been fined (sorry ... "charged") a hefty fee for excess luggage.

What Do You Think?

Ryanair's luggage "policies" appear to be designed to create the maximum stress confusion and upset for their passengers, whilst at the same time creating unnecessary holdups and delays at their check-in desks. How, for example can they possibly benefit from insisting that 2 passengers travelling together with a combined baggage weight below the limit for 2 passengers, must repack their bags into 2 equal weights so that neither bag exceeds the individual limit ??

The takeoff weight is unchanged and the fuel load is unchanged. The only change is that the 2 passengers involved have been highly inconvenienced for no purpose whatsoever by being forced to transfer the contents of one bag to another at the check-in counter, and the people queuing behind them at check-in have been equally delayed and inconvenienced for no reason .

Today at Reus airport I witnessed a young couple struggling with a baby and buggy being obliged to repack everything they were carrying in order to satisfy this perverse and pointless policy. The result? The poor hapless couple and their baby were all stressed to breaking point, and for what? They checked in exactly the same on board luggage weight, and we all got held up for no reason at all.

Who is the sadistic individual that came up with this idiotic and pointless scheme? My first and last time ever with Ryanair. They are not worth the grief - by any standards.
