There's something similar on EDI-KRK, so they get £6 from 21 March (which has a £130 fare on that particular day as it happens), hence a different date, with £8 on all fares on and before 19 March.
I booked my parents on FR from STN to ALC (about 2.5hours) in mid June and the priority boarding & two bags was £6 each.
Same flight at a higher price in late July (when kids go on holiday) the charge is £8
So this is going to trip up people who (like me) might make separate bookings. Having committed to the extra carry on in one direction find they have to pay more to bring it back.
