Irish TikTok account goes viral for pointing out Ryanair saving hack no one knew about

An Irish Tik Tok account has gone viral after posting a key Ryanair trick that could save you up to €60 every time you book a flight.

Thousands of people have been flocking to the post to hail Cloda Scanlon (@orangeobviously) for explaining how it works.

There is no actual secret to the money-saving tip, but rather you just need to change the method by which you book your next flight.

If you’re headed away on a weekend trip a 20kg bag is probably not necessary, but with Ryanair, you don't have a complimentary 10kg carry on so you need to book it separately.

The first option you’re given allows you to choose your seats along with your bag, but if that’s not something that bothers you, the cheaper option chooses where you sit later.

In the video, Cloda explained: “If you want to save between €40 and €60 on your next Ryanair flight plus that 10kg bag, then keep listening.

“So I almost paid €192 for my flights and instead for the exact same flight with the exact same amount of luggage I’m only going to pay €133.

“So go into the Ryanair app and do your usual - picking your flights, picking your dates.

“If you want a 10kg bag, it’s a further €21 per person per journey” - which is the regular fare option.

“Instead, go back to the booking page and choose the value fare,” which does not include a 10kg bag.

Then when you click continue, you’re brought to another page where you can manually add the 10kg back for just €13.

Cloda said: “That’s instead of what was €22 per person per journey, so go with a small bag and the value fare, then go through to the end to the booking page” to click your 10kg option.
