How they price it
Ryanair has no single price list, and this is what the guides leave out: the price changes with the country you leave from and how far you fly. The same 20 kg bag costs 20.98 € from one airport and 51 € from another. The table below is measured by opening real bookings, not copied from their conditions.

The questions everyone asks

How do you pay less for Ryanair baggage?
What our numbers can say: on 89 routes out of a hundred the bag costs more than the flight. When that happens it is worth checking whether another of Ryanair, Wizz Air, Volotea and Vueling flies the same route: with the bag counted the total often flips, and that is the comparison the map above makes. On the rest — what it costs to add it after booking, or one extra kilo at the gate — we have not measured, and we would rather not make it up.
