Thanks for the info on my post,

if we all take hand luggage, are they more likely to check the dimensions? i just measured my bag and its 57x36x30 (the ryan air rules say 55x40x20) but itll be under the 10kg allowence, or is it best to just book 2/3 hold bags between a few of us and pay the difference?

Also, if i choose the 0 bags airport check in option, and it turns out we need to check in a few bags, is that possible or is it a stick their fingers up at you scenario?

Cheers

your bag is bigger on two of the dimensions, 10cm (4 inches) on the depth is quite a lot bigger and will probably be visible to staff at the boarding gate.
I doubt it will fit into the hand luggage gauge.
If they refuse to let you take your bag on as hand lugage, you'll be sent back to the check-in desk to have it put it in hold.
If the check-in for your flight has closed, you'll either have to not take your bag at all or miss your flight.
If you check in bags IN ADVANCE online, it will cost you less (£9.50 online against £19 at the airport PER BAG).
You will have to pay the check-in fee as free on-line check-in is only available to people not checking luggage in.

Cheers for that, looking at the link, im now quite confused, when i have gone through as far as booking the flights, its told me that its 9.50 with no bag but check in at airport, or 28.50 with 1 bag, the link you have supplied seems that it should be the 9.50 to check in + another 9.50 for the first bag, then 19.00 extra per bag afterwards... on the booking form online, it goes:
0 bags - airport check in - 9:50
1 bag - airport - 28:50
2 bag - airport - 66.00
3 bag - airport - 94.50
(all per serson, still if we all take 1 bag thats like an extra 200 quid!)

I dont understand why the charges on the link say 9.50 when booked online...but they so obviously arent... :-(

The first bag is £9.50 each way when booked on-line. £19 is the each way price for second and third bags when the total weight is still 15kg or less. If paid at the airport then each bag is £19 each way. Of course if you are going to check in a bag you must also pay the compulsory airport check in fee. As has been said before, you need to take all of the costs into account before booking.

Returned from a great weekend in germany

flew out with ryanair from manchester to dusseldorf, on thursday night, flight on time, hand luggage was ok, right sizes, correct weight,

people with 2 bags were being turned back at security and told to go to the check in desks.

I received 3 e-mails regarding this before leaving, so it was all there.

i have always taken 2 plastic bags with my liquids in, the lady on security told me it was only 1 bag, but hubby was let through with 2

Also security lady told me that, as of yesterday you have to use the correct bags, which can be bought from manchester airport for £1, and all other airports have been charging for this.

flight home last night was a experience, flight was really full, and there was a gang of lads who had been drinking before the flight left, they were ok, but very loud.

Someone decided that after they had got on the plane, they didn't want them on, so after a long time 4 of them were escorted from the plane, or rather pushed by the german police.

So this flight didn't land on time, but it should have done.

thanks again ryanair, for another cheap weekend away, with a good flight.

Oh!

Got it!

Sorry, blanked out for a bit... 9.50 + 9.50 for each way then the 9.50 for the check in,

Final question, if i choose the Online check in option, and tell my mates if they wanna bring a bag over the hand luggage size then it'll cost em 19quid each way, they are still able to book in the bag at the airport arent they?

So we are all online checked in, but have 6 bags... we can all go and pay 6 x 38.00 and our bags'll be on yeah?

Cheers for the info!

the charges shown on Ryanair website are exactly what they are charging.
I've done a dummy booking and this is what the charges are FOR A ONE WAY FLIGHT:
0 bags - airport check in : £4.75
1 bag - airport : £4.75 + £9.50 = £14.25
2 bag - airport - £4.75 + £9.50 + £19 = £33.25
3 bag - airport - £4.75 + £9.50 + £19 + £19 = £52.25

I think maybe you are looking at costs for a RETURN flight.
0 bags - airport check in : £4.75 x 2 = £9.50
1 bag - airport : £14.25 x 2 = £28.50
2 bag - airport : £33.25 x 2 = £66.50
3 bag - airport : £52.25 x 2 = £104.50
which is not far off what you've said (I'm not sure where the £94.50 has come from.

Only you can decide whether it's worth taking more than hand luggage.
But I'd recommend that you decide before you go - and think twice about your oversize bag.

Our posts crossed, glad the penny dropped. :rolleyes:

You can't do on-line check-in if you want to check bags into the hold.
You can only do on-line check-in if you have hand luggage only.
If the 6 bags are under 10kg and are within Ryanair's stated dimensions for hand luggage and you intend taking them into the cabin with you - do on-line check-in and 0 bags. This will cost you all £0.00.

You and your mates need to decide who is taking hand luggage only (select on-line check-in - costs nowt) and who is taking hold luggage (pay for airport check-in plus cost of bag(s)) - as per Ryanair's list of fees x 2 for return flights.

No - your on-line check is no good if you subsequently bring a big bag. You'll have to pay the bag fee (which is £38 return 'cos you're doing it at the airport) and the airport check-in fee.

How long are you going for, if its a long weekend you must be able to manage with a small rucksack. We do it every year just remember no aerosols or large bottles of shampoo etc.
