RYANAIR unfair additional cost

Then fly with a different airline.

You are NOT forced to use Ryanair.

Why anyone would fly Ryanair is beyond me... you can buy a ticket but you might not fly..it all depends on the whim of O´Leary..

I would rather pay a few quid extra than use this airline..

I will add about my experience with them over Christmas. As expected, because we hadn't paid extra, my husband and I were separated for our flight. I was sat between a lad in his twenties and a lady in her seventies and for the whole flight we couldn't stop talking, made the flight go very quickly! If I was sat next to my husband I would have read my book for the whole journey. Loved hearing about their stories instead!

Never had a problem with Ryan Air. 2000km for £60 or so if you book ahead. Amazing value. The only red flag I would wave would be at the French air traffic controllers who have kept us grounded several times.

If you book any extras including baggage, seat reservation etc. when you initially book the flight its much cheaper. Only 25-30 euros for a bag them. Ryanair are great. You just have to stick by their terms and conditions but everyone just ticks the box and does not read these.

Don't bring the suitcase then.

Ryanair is what it is. just need to accept the flights are relatively cheap for a reason

Adding checked luggage after you've done a booking is always expensive. Regardless of airline with very few exceptions.
