Ryanair passengers must pay €20 to check in each bag this July and August on bookings made after midnight (24:00hrs) Wed 7th April. The increase from the current €15-per-bag charge was announced at short notice and must be paid in advance online.

Checked-in bag fees remain at €15 for passengers traveling outside of the two peak summer months of July and August. Passengers checking in bags in June or September, for example will pay €15 for a checked in bag. Ryanair urged all of its passengers to avoid checked-in baggage fees by traveling with carry-on bags only using Ryanair’s free 10 kg carry-on baggage allowance.
