Sat 09 Sep 2009Consumers' group criticises Ryanair for raising check-in fee
THE CONSUMERS’ Association of Ireland has criticised the latest increase in baggage fees by Ryanair. The cost of checking in a bag rises by 50 per cent from next month, and by up to 250 per cent for a second bag.
In a further effort to encourage passengers to travel with carry-on luggage only, the budget airline is increasing the cost of checking in one bag online from €10 to €15 per flight from October 1st. Where a bag is checked in at the airport, the cost will rise from €20 to €30, Ryanair announced yesterday.
