No you book for extra bags not pay the "excess charge"

Hi, I'm sorry, I sent you a pm when I read yours, I couldn't do it until I had the three posts, I think I'm going for that option... The printer is a laser one, it's completely new I haven't even had time to use it, so the toners are still packed...

"Checked Baggage Allowance

Each passenger is permitted to check in up to 3 bags with a maximum combined weight of 15kgs, subject to the payment of the applicable checked baggage fees. A discounted checked baggage fee is charged for each piece of checked baggage booked at the time of reservation on www.ryanair.com. If checked baggage fees are paid either at the airport or through a Ryanair call centre, the full rate will apply."

You're right Why does that not apply when I take our golf clubs then? We usually have a case each at 15kg + a couple of sets of clubs at around 10kg?? never paid an excess charge.

They have special fees for sports and infant equipment, and for musical instruments, maybe you paid for that and that's why you didn't have to pay for excess baggage?

Maybe they have seen you play golf and think that you could use the saving towards lessons!

I do pay for the golf clubs - thats why I thought if you paid extra for more bags at about £15 each way you'd get a further 15kg per bag luggage allowance?

Ryanair neber used to charge if you could charm the guy / girl on the checkin desk, but no more, Policy and I reckon bonuses now force ryanair staff to be ignorant and hard nosed about such things, I think the online check in has made it more awkward with not the check in people but the security at the airport which used to be well lax

2 Airports what used to be the most pleasing and easy going ive ever been in Jerez ans Sevilla are now just as hard faced as the staff at Stansted
