Title: Re: More bad news from Ryanair

Same old, same old.  Didn't we discuss the weight thing only a few weeks ago?  They do not have any plans to do this.

Such a deceitful headline for this article too "Ryanair: charges for carry-on baggage 'inevitable' " when you read in the main article "At some time in the future I think it's likely that airlines will charge for carry-on bags but I can't get my head round how you would do it. I think it's unlikely that we will do it – until I can see what's in it for us," Mr O'Leary said.

So no plans for charging for carry on bags and no plans to charge passengers by weight.  One checked 15kg bag into Reus from Bristol in August is £50 for the return trip.  The huge charges quoted in the article are for checking a bag in at the airport, something that they warn you will be very expensive.

Incidentally, I have just been checking flights for my son to fly out here from Bristol on Saturday 17th August for a week and Ryanair (to Reus) want £148.17 return, inc one 15kg hold bag.  Easyjet (to Barcelona) want £265.98 inc one 20kg hold bag.
