Ryanair is raising charges for checking in baggage at airports as part of a cost-savings drive aimed at coaxing more passengers to travel with hand luggage only.
Ryanair said it will raise the fee for transporting baggage in the hold of the aircraft to £6 from £5.The cost of checking in at the airport rather than online will rise to £3 from £2.
For those paying in euros, luggage charges will rise 50% to €9 per bag from €6, and the airport check-in fee will increase to €4 from €3. Ryanair said the increases will continue until it reaches a target of 50% of all passengers traveling with only hand luggage.
Ryanair spokeswoman Lorna Farren insisted that passengers could avoid the "discretionary" fees if they wanted to. "We are trying to change people's habits," she said.
