“We’re pleased to cut bag fees for 92 per cent of customers as part of our ‘Always Getting Better’ programme with a streamlined range of just six bag fee options, as we continue to listen to our customers and improve the Ryanair experience for the 116m people we’ll carry this year,” said Ryanair’s Chief Marketing Officer, Kenny Jacobs.

Ryanair's new bag fees: There's a catch you need to know about The new, year-round fares were introduced on June 2 - just one day after the airline hiked its checked bag fees by up to €15 for peak season. The new savings are based on these high season prices - i.e. €30 in the case of a 15kg bag on European flights of less than three hours. When compared to low season prices of €20 charged up to May 31, however, the new, year-round 15kg checked bag fee of €25 actually represents a 25pc price hike. A similar scenario applies to 20kg checked bags on these flights. http://www.independent.ie/life/travel/travel-news/ryanairs-new-bag-fees-theres-a-catch-you-need-to-know-about-34766785.html
