There is an article in the news today about how Ryanair are raising the price of taking luggage on to their flights, just in time for the summer holidays. Although Ryanair prides itself as a budget airline with the amount of add-ons continuously rising, a £20 flight can soon escalate to over £100. Many years ago whilst I was at university I flew Ryanair, from Blackpool Airport to Dublin, for £25 and that was the total cost. Now if you want to check in a bag into the hold over the summer holidays (which the vast majority of travellers will do), the price is going to be increasing from £15 to £20, which if you are a family of 4 is a total cost of £80 just for bags. There were also rumours that Ryanair Chief Executive Michael O’Leary, wants to start charging people for using the toilet onboard his planes but this is yet to be confirmed.
