Holds barred as Ryanair hopes to charge €75 for check-in baggage

NOT an airline renowned for lavishing luxury on its customers, passengers on Ryanair will soon be unable to recline in their seats and may be charged for checking luggage into the hold.

Ryanair chief executive Micheal O'Leary said the airline is looking at a number of ways to cut costs and reduce the price of flights even further.

Speaking in London, Mr O'Leary said the easier moves to cuts costs such as internet bookings and operating from secondary and regional airports had already been exploited.
