Ireland’s budget airline Ryanair has caused a stir after announcing the company plans to charge each passenger at least £2.50 for checking in if they are carrying more luggage than one light bag. The fee comes in effect in March.
Ryanair said the introduction of a check-in fee will save the company approximately £20 million every year. If passengers forget to pay their fee when booking their tickets online, they are charged £5 for every airport they’re flying through.
Passengers carrying luggage that is less than 10kgs are exempt from the extra charges.
