We may just make a tiny weeny dent in their billions by passing this on. Just so you are warned….
Ryan (we are raking it in) Air fact. My friend has just booked her newborn onto a flight. My friend and her husband were flying on one of the deals which meant that they were only paying 2.00 pounds each however, they were charged a 20.00 pound standard fee to carry the baby on board and the little mite didn’t even get a baggage allowance! Funny, I always thought that infants under two travelled free!?!
Now read below about this new, latest money making scheme Ryan Air have just come up with……So, if you buy your duty free in the airport, it may just cost you muchas, muchas more…..No such thing as a cheap flight…..D

Dear All,
Please pass this on to everyone you know.
It seems Ryanair are now sneakily applying a new charge at the boarding gate to anyone who has purchased duty free or food, and where these items DO NOT fit inside your 1 piece of hand luggage. Before now you were obliged to have only 1 piece of luggage as you passed through security, allowing you to make your purchases of wine, cigarettes, mags, presents etc. and therefore take extra shopping bags on the flight with you. This is no longer the case and they are now prepared to delay flights in order to charge people 30€ (at the gate) with more than 1 bag.

Here’s the detail I received from Ryanair re hand baggage restrictions at the boarding gate. Any extra bags/duty free purchases HAVE to fit into your one piece of permitted baggage, or else they’ll make you pay 30 quid/euro or deny boarding..Pass it on please to anyone you know who may be travelling & not realise !
Best regards, Suzanne

Should we really claim about the overall cost of Ryanair flights? The fact is that, even with the irritating extra charges, they provide excellent value. To my mind the fault is in their marketing approach, under which they offer seats at completely unrealistic prices (presumably for promotional purposes) and oblige themselves to make everything an extra in order to make money. To my mind, in spite of their spartan aircraft and charge-for-everything-you-can approach, their overall charges are very fair – notably so on those journeys where I can make a direct comparison with alternatives.
Irecently booked a flight return B.Ham Murcia.
My Booking reads2x[1 checked in bag] =£20.00 can you tell me weather I have paid for both incoming and outgoing bags
Thank=you
Sorry I’m not sure if it’s £20 each way or for both. Maybe someone else reading this can help… Or phone Ryanair for the definitive answer.
