Baggage Allowance-Next Year

I've found a flight with easyjet for next year, but it's alot cheaper to come back with Ryanair. Sorry if this sounds daft but I've never flown with Ryanair, but have heard horror stories to do with their baggage fees. So does Ryanair take baggage in the hold as opposed to just hand luggage, and anything else to look out for with RA ?

    You cam take checked luggage with Ryanair as well as your hand luggage but you have to pay for it just like easyjet.

    RA is £15 for 15kg and secound bag is £35 foir 15kg. Youneed to book these online or the cost is £35 +£70 to pay for them at airport.

    Ryanair charges

    Easyjet is £9 for 20kg

    this is for one way trip.

    A few things to remember with Ryanair is although the flight may say same City as the EJ light check which airport it is as they usually flight to smaller airports.


    I have flown with both and if the RA was going to the place I wanted I would use them again but when comparing check your total including luggage costs and transport it airport if it is different airport.

    Other things to look out for with Ryanair are the £5 per person 'on-line check-in fee' unless it's a promotional fare and £5 per person per flight card fee unless you use Visa electron.
