Ryanair: Adding bags after checking in online

Hi all,

I have booked a flight for next week and already check-in for two people. However, now one of us wants to check in one piece of luggage.

I am wondering whether this is still possible to do in some way. Is it best to call customer support or should I just take the luggage with me and go then to the Ryanair desk at Stansted to drop my luaggage? Hope it does not cost more money than doing it online.

Thanks for any helpful comments,
Patrick!

    I'd ring and ask if you are allowed to, but ryanair are well known for whacking on whatever charges they can so it wouldnt surprise me if they charged you more to put a bag on than it would have cost you if you did it when you booked.

    Give it a try online. Once you have added luggage you could then reprint the boarding card.

    Presumably, if it's too late to add luggage they won't take your money before telling you (hopefully).

    You can do it online "Up to 4 hours prior to your scheduled flight departure you can purchase online - checked bags, priority boarding, sports/infant equipment and musical instruments even if you have already checked in online for your flight".
