Jamie2k9, Is that new routes for LCA or will it be based aircraft?
They will be from Paphas if a deal can be reached. There is talk of a base in Paphas but I don't see that happoning this year.

Dublin - Paphos - Dublin: and I thought RYR were not going to do long-haul just yet.
I'm sure Ryanair will try anything if they there is money to be made.

I wonder will this route and other Ryanair routes from Dublin be as a result of the new Irish government cancelling the travel tax and lower airport charges from next month as promised if airlines introduced routes/new routes back which were cancelled over the last few years?

Dublin airport charges are not going down next month. They only went up at the end of March. The Travel Tax may be gone.

I had thought the government were going to work with the aviation regulator/DAA to try and lower charges at DUB/ORK/SNN for all airlines.

A new Ryanair base in Lamezia (Italy) may be on the cards.

I've just seen this one...

AENA insists Ryanair must comply with new carry-on purchase rules | TheMoodieReport.com

Ryanair, clearly, is not amused...

Briefing note - Checked in Bags

I'm not sure what I think of this.

From RYR press release:

3.for bookings after 16th March, Ryanair is increasing each passenger’s luggage allowance from the current 25kgs to 30kgs (comprising 10kgs carry-on and 20kgs checked-in luggage) which will substantially reduce excess baggage fees and finally

4.all passengers travelling with checked in luggage who book after 16th March will now pay a fee of £2.50 (€3.50) per bag, per flight if booked in advance on online, or £5.00 (€7.00) per bag, per flight if presented un-booked at the airport.



Noxegon. Thanks for the link, and above I quote from it, but am confused. Please shed light, anyone. It would seem from 3 that the allowed normal checked-in baggage has been raised to 20kgs. From 4 it does not say 'extra' 2.50/3.50, but only that price as a fee. I've just tried to book a flight on RYR (after March 16th) and it quotes 15euros for 15kgs & 25euros for 20kgs per sector. This does not seem to agree with the above 'press release'. Am I missing something?

'effective from 16th March 2006'


And the website is giving the current price of a checked in bag, the £2.50 comes from when the charge was first introduced in 2006.

Hand baggage (Spain).

Can anyone tell me if Ryanair are allowing 1 x carry-on bag upto 10kg
and 1 x duty free bag on Spanish routes ie (Lanzarote - ACE).

Ryanair says no, AENA, which owns all Spanish airports says yes so take your pick.

If in doubt, go with what Ryanair believes to be the case. [no pun intended]
It is useless trying to argue a point of EC law with Ryanair staff when you are trying to board a flight.

I've never had a "fight" with a commission hungry Ryanair gate person as I'm always aware of what I can and can't do as SLF however this is one fight I'd be interested in having. Surely local juristiction would hold sway over Ryanair, they cannot legally enforce their Irish T & C's in other European countries. Might be worth having a couple of thousand ciggies "confiscated" at the gate just for the pleasure of hauling FR through the coals and gaining both suitable compensation and a change in their corporate policy.

So if a country decides you can take live pigs onto a flight then every airline must agree to it !! An extreme example but just as valid.

Spanish are taking this viewpoint because they say they are not taking as much money as they like at their airports.........I doubt EU will go along with this even if it gets that far.

"Commission hungry Ryanair gate person" isn't exactly an accurate description - does anyone actually believe Ryanair offer commission? Since when did they offer "carrots" rather than "sticks"? They put lots of pressure on their handling agents to enforce the rules, rather than offering actual incentives which might, god forbid, actually cost them money! Personally, I haven't had any problems carrying a duty free bag on in addition to my hand luggage, but I understand I may be in a minority.

With respect Racedo you do not know AENA - as you know they run all the Spanish airports for the travelling public - I know that my sound a bit odd these days - and not for foreign airlines and private companies who have to pay shareholders and fat cat directors. As Ryanair have said to many airports if you do not like it we will go somewhere else - me thinks the ball might be on the other foot now!

Well indeed, it would be certainly good for your health

P.S. Really!
