As mentioned, all taxes are included.

Wondering why you see 'Fares from [insert absurdly low price]' plastered all over their site? This is their loss leader and is no different from retailers putting out a catalogue with a few items being sold at a deep discount. But being a low cost carrier, the fare is only part of the story. You want a bag? Ka-ching. Seat assignment? Ka-ching. Food on board? Ka-ching. Didn't print your boarding pass? Ka-ching. The list goes on because LCCs make a lot of their revenue from ancillary charges...

In the last six months Ryanair billed €1.15 billion for ancillary charges. Don't feel sorry for them!

So in March will be taking Ryan Air from DUB-EDI, I Choose the most popular which allows a carry on and check baggage, however, I'll have my roller and backpack with me and a check baggages, how does Ryan Air handle this? I'm assuming I'll have to pay for the second carry on, if so how much?

Yea, I have a backpack that I usually place under the seat in front of me, and my carry on is a roller board that I place in over head.

Do they meet the dimensions dictated by Ryanair? IME it's backpack sizes that will fail the underseat bag requirements, even if they will fit under the seat. Rollerboards do fail as well, but years of Ryanair stories mean most people have cottoned on and measured them before heading to the airport.

In my experience Ryanair does not police soft backpacks/bags that strictly (but YMMV), however their agents are really good at spotting bags even only a few cm beyond the dimensions. Read up carefully about the detailed policies (posted on their website) and do not simply rely on second-hand/summarized information. As long as one follows the rules carefully, they provide a reasonable service.

I have my first FR sector in about 10 years coming up next month, SKG-ATH. I have paid about €20 for the fare and don't care where I sit for this 50-minute, "up-beer-down" flight.

My question is about luggage. I am spending a week in Greece and will be carrying a standard small roll-a-board. Is this included, or am I limited to the stardard "personal item", i.e. under-seat size?

It depends what extras you bought.

When booking (after sometime in November 2018), you would have been presented with three options:

• Small carry on only (no extra fee) - size 40x20x25cm
• Priority & 2 cabin bags (aka speedy boarding) - allows one carry on of max 10kg size 55x40x20cm plus a second size 40x20x25cm - normally around €6 to €8
• 10kg check in bag - allows one checked in bag of max 10kg size 55x40x20cm (*must* be checked in at the desk before security and *must* meet the size, even though it isn't going in the cabin) plus a carry on bag of size 40x20x25cm - normally around €8 to €10

You can also purchase a 15kg or 20kg checked in bag, in addition to any of the above options.

Measure you bag and check you booking. If your bag is too big, get a smaller one or pay the extra. Don't chance it, as Ryanair staff are good at spotting oversized bags (although not as overzealous as they used to be).

My backpack will fit in the sizer, but the rollerboard looks bigger, I looked at our tickets I purchased the "Plus" package which gives up 2 on board bags. Our check luggage will more then the 20kg, but we will only have check bag, I can assume that Ryanair does not care that we are allowed 1 check luggage each but will only have 1 check and if said check back in less then 40kg they will still make us pay...

Thanks for this. I just had a look and I have the "Priority and 2 cabin bags" option, which will be more than enough.

Remember there are two sizers and measure both bags to be sure.

Pooling hold baggage as you describe is OK, but make sure no individual item is > 32kg.

Got it, thanks.

Just to add that pooling is only permitted when both passengers are on the same booking.
