Ryanair baggage hack can save you £50 on every flight

A Ryanair customer has shared a genius hack that can save you £50 on every flight. Budget airlines may provide you with cheap ticket prices, but baggage costs alone can send the price soaring, especially if you need to take a lot of luggage on your trip.

Money-saving hacks are always welcomed with open arms and this one is no different, with travel fans praising Cloda Scanlon (@orangeobviously) for her TikTok video sharing how she saves money on her flight. While a 20kg bag is probably not necessary for a weekend trip, you do not have a complimentary 10kg carry when you book with Ryanair and it needs to be added on as an extra.

When booking online the first option you are given is to choose your seats along with your bag, but to get the cheaper option select the 'value fare' and add a bag later, reports The Daily Record.

“If you want a 10kg bag, it’s a further €21 per person per journey” - which is the regular fare option. In the video, Cloda explained: “If you want to save between €40 (£33) and €60 (£50) on your next Ryanair flight plus that 10kg bag, then keep listening.

“So I almost paid €192 (£161) for my flights and instead for the exact same flight with the exact same amount of luggage I’m only going to pay €133 (£111). So go into the Ryanair app and do your usual - picking your flights, picking your dates.

“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 (£18.50) 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.
