The cost of checking in a bag is being hiked to £20 by Ryanair for passengers flying during the summer peak.
The £5 increase from £15 for a checked in bag will apply to passengers travelling in July and August.
The additional charge comes into force for all bookings made after midnight tomorrow (April 7).
The no-frills carrier urged passengers to travel with carry-on bags only using its free 10kg carry-on baggage allowance.
A spokesman said: “Ryanair is determined to incentivise passengers to travel light this summer by increasing our checked-in baggage fees for the months of July and August only.
“These baggage fees, which are avoidable by passengers, will apply to bookings made after midnight (24:00hrs) Wednesday for travel in July and August.
“From 1st September the checked-in bag fee will return to its current level of £15.
“Over 70% of all Ryanair passengers will be unaffected by these changes because they travel with no checked-in bags.”
