This will ensure that you do not get stung for extra charges at the airport. Ryanair make lots of money from folk who can't be bothered to read the small print ^^ :D


Thing is, its not exactly small print is it? Its well documented what your allowances are, and that you will pay more for being outside the permitted amounts.....anyway, this has been covered to death previously.

These days, before agreeing to anything you should read the T&C's. Would you take out a mortgage, loan, credit card, insurance policy, new phone contract etc without reading it all?

I still can't see what all the hatred of Ryanair is all about. Absolutely everything you pay for is there in front of you when you book on-line.
TJ (my son) has just flown out to Salzburg to start training again with the GB team. He took 8 pairs of skis (4 x ski rolls @ 20kg each) + 1 large sports equipment bag @ 20kg + 1 checked in bag @ 15kg plus 10kg hand luggage. All checked in on-line. Total weight of baggage 125 kg. The flight with all that was just £140.
No hassle, no questions as they were all on the booking form. All arrived safely with no damage.
And we do not get any special deals or treatment as part of the GB team!!

He flew to Calagary with Air Canada in December and they left 1 of his bags at Heathrow with all his boots, helmet racing equipment in. He had to do a Downhill training run on the Lake Louise World Cup Downhill course in borrowed boots etc.

Ryanair are what they say they are. All this nonsense about small print is utter rubbish. All their terms etc are on every booking page as you book your flight.
We have always used them and will still keep using them as they have provided the best service and cheapest flights by a country mile.

I working the banking industry - 95% of people would take all of the above without reading the T&Cs.
