Only Ryanair could think of charging someone for 5 bags that add up to 15kg total.

If the fee shown is per kilo then they will charge 40 euros to get the bag up to the normal 20kg or 160 euros for one 20 kg extra bag? I can get up to 5 extra bags on a trans-atlantic for $80 per bag.

I paid nowhere near that the one time they made me pay for 2kg prior but this is how they make their money. As they make traveling a hassle I have avoided them at all costs since.

Now that they were charging per bag I thought they were letting you pre-pay kilos as they have so many who check no bags on their flights.

They have a **next to the 8 euro fee on the website and then no clarification. They sell 5 bags at 4.50 each when you make reservation.
