Ridiculous Ryanair luggage charges

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 ...

Hardly when the £132 is for a trip which has not yet happened and I am not going with RA now anyway

Oh I DO love the Ryanair threads - you're guaranteed l o n g posts and a good laugh.
(I fly with Ryanair at least twice a year and will continue to do so, checking everything carefully and playing by their rules, not a problem).

If ryanair was a football team would they keep moving the goalposts

I don't see the point in arguing - it's a well know fact that Ryanair charge far more for their luggage - it's up to the individual if they want to pay for it or not. I bet O'Leary will be the first to charge overweight passengers too - he has the nerve to do anything he wants!!

"I bet O'Leary will be the first to charge overweight passengers too"... Nope; you lose Tamiami. Samoa air have got in 1st! between 70p and a few quid a kilo. That's me stuffed. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/apr/02/samoa-air-pay-what-you-weigh

As my previous posts have pointed out though things are seldom equal.

Its rare you would find an airport that serves ryanair and ba and even those that do tend to fly to different airports, for example ba fly to a airport further from gothenburg city than ryanair do.

I for example would have to drive 3 hours to get to LHR or I can drive to STN in less than an hour or SEN in about 10mins if I want to use easyjet so time and cost of fuel etc is a factor there.

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.

Despite your claim of "free hold lugagge" its not free really its just factored into the cost of every ticket so even if you dont check a bag in you are paying for the service anyway, hell i'd check an empty bag in on principle!

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.

You must live fairly near me. Ive not actually flown from SEN yet although planning to later this year.


BA are also doing fares without checked in luggage these days

These Ryanair vs. BA (or whoever) threads are invariably a waste of time. People should fly with whomever they want based on whatever they personally value the most (flight experience, price, timing, routing, etc). If someone prefers one airline over another, why do they care if others feel differently? I just don't get it....
