So if you want to check a bag in, what's the point of paying so much in advance?

By paying in advance for a hold bag you can now get it cheaper and the allowance has increased too ( it's now very similar to easyjet prices and weight allowance ) .if you are a basic economy traveller and don't pay for priority you are only allowed to take a smaller bag on the plane , so have to wait at the other end for its return ( ie , it's inconvenient now ) .

The warning signs were there though as only a couple of months ago a Ryanair spokesman let known his disgust at 2 year olds dragging wheelie cases along the Tarmac to the plane as passengers were taking the p*** , in his opinion .
Personally I think hold luggage should be free or very low cost and hand luggage should attract a charge if above a certain size that would only contain very personal items like passport , wallet etc and electronic devices and cameras . There's too little cabin space and too much faffing around and no need for cases of the size that are allowed .

Anyway , another view in this link of the baggage change .

Always getting better !!!

Another point of interest ? In reducing the hold baggage charges , Ryanair estimate it will cost them £50m in lost revenues , how are they going to make the loss up ? Don't know too many examples where a business introduces an iniative to make less ?
