Weighty fees for Ryanair passengers
Weighty fees for Ryanair passengers – News and Comment – Times Online ???¢?¢?€š?¬?…?€?Ryanair will soon make passengers pay ???€š?‚?£5 per piece of checked luggage, or ???€š?‚?£2.50 per bag if it has been registered in advance on the airline’s website – an initiative the budget airline claims will mean only 25 per cent of its passengers losing out financially.???¢?¢?€š?¬?‚??
???¢?¢?€š?¬?…?€?Ryanair, Europe’s largest no-frills airline, is to allow passengers to by-pass airport check-in if they have previously checked in on the carrier’s website.”
Of course it wouldn’t be Ryanair without a catch, ???¢?¢?€š?¬?…?€?passengers checking in baggage on flights booked after March 16 will now pay a fee — ???€š?‚?£2.50 stg (???¢?¢?‚¬Å??‚?¬3.50 eur) per bag, per flight, if booked in advance on the website, or ???€š?‚?£5.0 stg (???¢?¢?‚¬Å??‚?¬7.00 eur) per bag, per flight, if presented unbooked at the airport.”
