Alicante Spain to Sweden. Ryan air?
Hey guys, I'm currently in Alicante, Spain. I'm going to Sweden this week, my ultimate destination is Örebro, but any station/airport in Sweden is fine. I heard a lot about Ryan air and how cheap their fares are, but a little search online revealed a lot about hidden luggage fees. I looked at their baggage fees table thinking "They can't be serious" as it would total to more expensive than the flight itself. I have one baggage roughly 20 kilograms, a sidebag for laptop, and a guitar. Does anyone have any experience with them? Is this the best option? Or what other cheap way would you suggest to get to Sweden. My dates are flexible and travel time is not a big issue as long as it's cheap. Thanks guys.

Answer 1 :
You can only have 15kg in hold luggage, an extra 5kg will be expensive. You can have one piece of carry-on luggage only, so your guitar may have to go in the hold, but then it may have been that way with other airlines too. Ryanair are a very cheap airline, but once you start paying for extras they become expensive.
Answer 2 :
Ryanair have 2 rates for checked luggage when 1 bag/case is carried. At this time of the year 15kgs will cost you £15/€15 for a single flight. 20kgs increases to £25/€25 per one way flight. Extra kgs after this do become expensive. But don't forget you can carry on up to 10kgs hand baggage, but it must be one bag only, not exceeding 55x40x20cms. So if your checked luggage looks like going over the 20kgs, you will have to take something out and put it with your laptop in your "sidebag". http://www.ryanair.com/en/questions/table-of-fees The safest, and maybe cheapest, way to transport your guitar, depending on the price of tickets, is to purchase an extra seat. http://www.ryanair.com/en/questions/can-i-check-in-a-musical-instrument-or-purchase-an-extra-seat-to-carry-it-in-the-cabin Good luck
