Ryanair Family Extra

Happy New Year everyone!

I'm booking flights to France this summer, travelling with Ryanair. As we'll be travelling with our three-year-old son we qualify for Family Extra, which includes 50% off children's baggage.

My question is: is there any reason why we can't just say all our baggage (two suitcases) belong to my son, thus getting the 50% discount on both pieces of baggage? The website allows me to add two pieces of baggage in my son's name.

The TCs state ......

There are 50% discounts off checked bags, allocated seats, Priority Boarding and travel insurance for up to a maximum of 2 children when 1 accompanying adult included in the same reservation purchases the corresponding fully priced item.

However, someone else posted that they were able to add adult and then kids bags but remove the adult bags prior to checkout but still retain the discount - try it

The website seems to let me add two bags for my son, and none for myself. But I don't trust Ryanair not to charge me an extortionate amount to correct an 'error' when we arrive at the airport!

It wouldn't be an error if they did charge you, because in order to get half price luggage for kids an adult needs to pay to check a bag as well. That's the contract you agree to when you book. If you try to game the system expect to get caught. If you don't, consider it a bonus.

I wasn't trying to play the system, I just wanted to know what the rules are.

Eyeliner I called them before booking prior to Xmas and we have put one case with myself and the other with my son.
