Hi!
I am just about to book our flights for next May and the cheapest by far is Ryan Air. We have never travelled with them before - just the usual Thomson Fly, Sleazy Jet, BMI et al!
I have just been reading up on the baggage allowance - as you can imagine a family of 5 with three mucky kids we need alot of kit - plus all my new clothes as I WILL BE AT MY BLUDDY TARGET BY NEXT MAY - sorry need to shout that to convince myself....LOL
My question is whenever we've travelled before the individual baggage allowance can me shared - ie for all 5 of us we 'get' 100kgs of luggage allowance which means we usually have a couple of large bags at 30+ kilos and a couple of smalle 5 - 10Kg type bags - we are always under our allowance and this is never a problem.
Reading the Ryan Air website it seems like we are allowed 15Kg each - for which we are charged for each bag checked in (£7 return per bag (if pre booked)- extra £35 on holidays ) it implies on the website that we cannot 'share' the weight between us ie. bigger bags and small bag.
If anyone has any info on this and how strict they are this would be great - if not not a problem I'll call them. Alternatively I think we will be all investing in smaller cases and learning to 'travel light'........not two words that seem to appear in my holiday vocabulary often........LOL
Thanks guys!
Love
