Ryanair will increase charges for baggage handling and airport check-in

Here you go:

Ryanair has announced it will continue is policy of levying a charge for airport check-in and the carriage of hold baggage and will increase the current fees in place. In March this year the budget carrier began charging travellers to put suitcases in the hold, and a recent financial statement revealed that this policy has been lucrative.

Now, chief executive Michael O'Leary has confirmed that the check-in fee for those who do so at an airport desk, rather than online, will double from £2 to £4. At the current time passengers are charged £2 to check in at the airport, and £5 for the first bag to be put in the hold.

O'Leary told The Telegraph: "People complain we are charging for check-in, but people who use web check-in and only have carry-on luggage are getting even cheaper fares."

"The baggage charges and the check-in charges will rise. We will keep raising them until we can persuade the 40 to 45 per cent of passengers who travel with Ryanair for one or two days to bring just one carry-on bag."
