Ridiculous Ryanair luggage charges

Thanks for some support! At the time when I booked, RA would have cost me £132 with a small case checked in while BA was £107.My last return flight was with BA though and so many people had their bags with them that all the space was jammed full.

No, it wasn't £132, you got the price wrong - you have already admitted this.

As far as claiming that "the riffraff tend to fly RA over BA to save a couple of quid" I would hope this was written tongue in cheek oddly in my previous posting I often saw multi millionaires stepping off ryanair flights.

Crikey, what's a multimillionaire look like that you can spot them getting off a plane? Do they have it tattooed on their head or something?:D
I'll be testing you next time we are both on a RA flight;)

Of course, as you state, all things being equal, anyone would choose BA over RA but as we all know some are more equal than others.

I wouldn't , I can't stand people reclining onto me (there is no need on short haul), so I choose Ryanair as I know they can't.

Plus of course, those with an artificially raised sense of self importance tend to fly with BA and I'd rather avoid them

Yes it was £132! I have only added on 1 luggage fee of £50

Yes it was £132. It was £82 plus the £50 hold luggage (2 x £25).

OP thought, originally, that it was £182.

Sorry, I thought you were adding in the cost of the bag you claim you had to buy, and the toiletries, and the broken down train ...

just as a test I thought i would re-price up my trip to warsaw in june to see sigur ros and if i flew ba it would cost me £180.80 rtn with their "free" baggage allowance however I had paid just under £50 to fly RA to the same airport but without a bag, it would have been £120 with one though, as I dont need one for an overnighter, however I've just gone back to check if the flights had gone up for a fair/fare comparison and they've gone down to £22 rtn.

Rip off, con, ermmm does anyone know if i can claim the difference back etc etc?
