tripso.com: If shoes were sold like airline tickets
tripso.com | If shoes were sold like airline tickets.
This is so true – the pricing for airline tickets varies hugely. In fact, when I was booking our tickets from Norway to the UK, I decided against flying with Ryan Air for this very reason. I nearly passed out when I looked at the list of “surcharges”.
Online Check in: £5-10 or Airport check in £10-40 per passenger!!!
Payment handling fee: £5 per passenger
Priority boarding fee: £3 per passenger
Checked baggage: £10 first piece per passenger
Checked baggage: £20 second and their pieces per passenger
Infant Fee: £20
And all of that is without any in flight services taken into account like snacks, meals, drinks or use of headphones etc.
I decided we were better off booking the super saver flights with SAS that were all inclusive with no nasty airport surprises!
Ryan Air is charging people to check in and even to pay them? That’s outrageous. What a shame, because I used to love flying with them.
Obi-Mom Kenobi’s last blog post..You’re lucky you don’t taste very good.
What is more I found out today that “Ryanair now has a 40 pound “boarding card reissue fee” for passengers who check in online and forget to bring their printout to the airport.”
If you happen to be a family of five who have forgotten your printouts, I guess that’s an extra $400 Au. Just like that. That would double the cost of our tickets.
