The cost of checking in a bag on Ryanair flights is being hiked from October 1.
Checking in a bag at the airport will cost £30, up from £20. Doing so online in advance will cost £15, up from £10.
It will cost passengers £70 to check a second bag in at the airport or £35 by the internet in advance.
Each bag will have a separate 15KG allowance to allow passengers to travel with up to 30KG of checked in baggage – double the current allowance of 15KG.
The increases are “part of the airline’s programme to encourage passengers to travel with carry on luggage only”.
The airline said: “All passengers can avoid these optional checked in baggage fees by travelling with carry on baggage only.”
A spokesman said: “Ryanair continues to reduce air fares – saving our passengers over €530m this year alone.
“In order to persuade passengers to travel with carry on bags only and to defray the cost of some of these fare reductions we are increasing baggage allowances and fees with effect from 1st October.
“These baggage fees are all avoidable by all passengers who choose to travel with carry on luggage only.
“Over 70% of Ryanair passengers will be totally unaffected by these changes as they already travel with just one carry on bag, which is free of charge.”
