4.2 TAXES, FEES AND CHARGES

4.2.1 You must pay any government taxes (including but not limited to air passenger duty) which may be included in your ticket price. Our higher ticket prices generally include government taxes, while our lower ticket prices do not. If your ticket price includes government taxes, they will be displayed in the price break-down at the time you make your booking. Please click herefor more details on government taxes that may apply.

Our ticket prices do not include any other third party fees and charges for costs we incur to provide our services (such as airport and security charges, maintenance fees etc.). We bear the costs for these services.

If you do not travel, you can apply in writing for a full refund of any government taxes you have paid.

We are not responsible for any aspect of their services. In particular we are not responsible for any late or incorrect information, or for a lack of information.

In that case we have protection in place, in accordance with EU law, to refund your payments to us for services not performed in the unlikely event of our insolvency, and, where necessary, for your repatriation.

12.3.6 We have full protection in place for packages to refund your payments and, where necessary, to ensure repatriation, in the unlikely event that we become insolvent.

14.2 There are no financial limits to our liability for death or personal injury to any passenger. We must pay claims for up to 128,821 SDRs, per passenger unless we can prove that the death or injury was caused by, or contributed to by, the negligence of the passenger themselves. For claims of more than 128,821 SDR, we may be considered not to be to blame if we can prove that:
  • we and our agents took all necessary measures to avoid the death or physical injury; or
  • it was impossible for us or them to take the measures necessary to avoid the death or physical injury.
14.3 After a death we may be liable for, we will, no later than 15 days after the person entitled to compensation appears to have been identified, make an advance payment of at least 16,000 SDR per passenger to meet that person’s immediate financial needs. The amount we pay will be based on the extent of the financial difficulties being suffered.

Making an advance payment does not mean that we accept any liability. Also, we may take the advance payment off any compensation we go on to pay. Advance payments made under this clause do not have to be paid back unless:
  • we prove that the death or physical injury was caused by, or contributed to by, the relevant passenger’s negligence; or
  • it is proved that the person who received the advance payment was not the person entitled to compensation; or
  • it is proved that the death or physical injury was caused by, or contributed to by, negligence of the person who received the advance payment.
14.4 Except where clauses 14.2 and 14.3 above say otherwise, the following conditions relating to liability apply:

14.4.1 Any liability we have for loss, damage, death or physical injury will be reduced, as allowed by any law that applies, if that loss, damage, death or physical injury was caused by, or contributed to by, your negligence.

14.4.2 We will not be liable for loss of or damage to carry-on baggage unless the loss or damage is caused by our negligence.

14.4.4 Our liability for loss of or damage to baggage will be limited to 1,288 SDR (or its equivalent) for each piece of baggage that is lost or stolen unless you have made a special declaration of interest in delivery at destination before checking in your baggage and paid the relevant fee (increasing our liability to a maximum of 2,262 SDR).

14.4.5 Except where any part of these terms specifically says otherwise, we will only be liable for proven losses and costs as set out in the Montreal Convention 1999.

14.4.6 We will not be liable for any loss, damage, death or physical injury caused by your baggage. You will be responsible for such loss, damage, death or personal injury.

14.4.7 We are liable for loss of or damage to checked-in luggage only if the event which caused the loss or damage took place on the plane or during any period when the checked-in luggage was in our possession. However, we will not be liable if the loss or damage resulted from the baggage being flawed, faulty, in a poor condition, unsuitable or inappropriate.  We will not have any liability for damage to items that article 8 states should not be in checked-in luggage. In the case of carry-on baggage, including personal items, we are liable only if the loss or damage resulted from our fault or that of our employees or agents. See clause 8.10 for items that cannot be carried on a plane.

14.4.8 We are not responsible for any illness, injury, death or disability resulting from or relating to your physical condition.

14.4.9 These terms also apply to anyone acting on our behalf. The total amount that can be recovered from anyone acting for us will not be more than the amount that could be recovered from us.

14.4.10 Nothing in these terms removes any liability we have under the Montreal Convention 1999 or relevant laws, except where these terms say otherwise.

Please, check with the Consulate or Embassy of the country they are planning to visit and/or via the IATA Travel Centre, requirements and the extra documentation that minors may need.

    Some non-exhaustive examples of accepted documents are as follows:
    • A valid ‘Kinderreisepass’: travel document issued to children under 16 by the German Government.
    • French residents under the age of 18 who are travelling without a parent or guardian must show a completed AST (Autorisation de sortie du territoire), and the documents specified in the AST.

Otherwise, the parent or legal guardian must carry the child’s birth certificate or family status certificate. If the child under 14 is travelling with the new-style ID card, with a person who is not their parent or legal guardian, the child must have a “dichiarazione di accompagnamento” signed by both parents or the legal guardian and stamped by the passport authority.
    • Portuguese residents under 18 who are flying between Portugal and a non-Schengen member state*, and are not with a parent or legal guardian, need a travel authorisation. This must be signed by both parents or a legal guardian.

If the parents or legal guardian do not live in Portugal, the signatures (or signature) must be confirmed as authentic by a Portuguese embassy or consulate in the country where they live. This travel authorisation is also needed when minors are accompanied by someone who is not a parent or legal guardian. In this case the travel authorisation must also clearly show the name of the person. Foreign minors under 18 years and travelling alone may be refused entry if they do not have anyone in Portugal taking responsibility for their stay.
    • Spanish resident children under the age of 18 who are travelling without their parents/legal guardians must have a form (collected from their local police station or other appointed Spanish authority) of written authorisation to travel from their parents.

Each passenger can take one small item of carry-on baggage (up to 40cm x 20cm x 25cm) on the plane with them. Our small bag sizers measure 42cm x 20cm x 30cm.

There is no carry-on baggage allowance for children under two who do not have their own seat reserved and will travel on an adult’s knee. However, the adult can carry a baby bag weighing up to 5kg as well as their own carry-on baggage.

3.2 Priority & 2 cabin bags and 10kg check in bag

Passengers who have booked Priority & 2 Cabin Bags (including those with a Regular or Flexi Plus ticket, and those who purchased a Plus ticket prior to 11 December 2019) can take a small carry-on bag (up to 40cm x 20cm x 25cm) and a large item of carry-on baggage (weighing up to 10kg with maximum dimensions of 55cm x 40cm x 20cm) on the plane with them, unless we have good reason to place the large item of baggage in the hold. In this case, take any valuables out of the baggage.

You can choose and pay for Priority & 2 Cabin Bags when you make your booking, or through the Ryanair app up to 40 minutes before the scheduled departure time.

The current fee for Priority Boarding can be found in the Table of Fees.

If you book a 10kg Check-in Bag (with maximum dimensions of 55cm x 40cm x20cm), you can take your small carry-on bag on the plane with you, but must check the large item of baggage in at the bag-drop desk before you go through security.

The current fee for 10kg Check-in Baggage can be found in our Table of Fees.

After you have made your booking, you can add 10kg Check-in Bag to your reservation through the ‘Manage my bookings’ section of our website up to 2 hours before the flight’s scheduled departure time, or through the app up to 40 minutes before the scheduled departure time.

Non-priority customers who have not added a bag to their booking can still purchase a 10kg Check-in Bag at the airport bag drop desk or at the boarding gate for €/£46.00. In this case, take any valuables out of the baggage.

If your carry-on baggage is too large it will not be allowed through the boarding gate. In this case it will be placed in the plane’s hold and you will have to pay a fee of €/£70.00  (plus VAT on domestic flights).

We do not carry unaccompanied children under 16. We cannot provide an escort or special facilities.

If you want a child passenger to travel with an adult (aged 16 or over) who is already booked on a flight, you must make a new reservation for the child (as if they were an adult) and then link it to the existing reservation. You can only link reservations by contacting us on live chat  or calling the call centre. You cannot link bookings at the airport. Click here for further details on how to contact us.

You can link bookings up to four hours before the scheduled departure time. Linking the bookings is free if the existing booking was made less than 24 hours beforehand. After 24 hours you would need to pay a booking fee (€30/£ 30).

The child (or children) in the booking will get a free reserved seat with you.  A maximum of four children for every one adult on the booking will get a free reserved seat. No other adults or teenagers in the booking need to reserve a seat, but they can choose to if they want to be sure of sitting with the children.

The price for reserving your seat in rows 18 to 33 starts at €4/£4. If you reserve a seat in a different row, you will be charged the difference in price for your seat. Children will be charged the full price of these seats.

If, due to high demand, seats in rows 18 to 33 are not available for everyone in your booking, all adults who need to reserve a seat to travel with a child can reserve a seat in rows 11 to 15 for the difference in price, or try different travel dates. The child’s reserved seat will still be free.

In exceptional cases, you may not be allowed to board the plane if this would put the plane, other customers, the crew or yourself at risk. Our special assistance team, will assess your particular situation to try to meet your needs as best as possible and will tell you about any limitations that may apply.

6.4 Reserving special assistance at the airport

If you need special assistance at the airport you can book this on our website up to 48 hours before your flight. After this time, you can book special assistance up to 12 hours before the scheduled flight departure by contacting our Special Assistance Line. By this time the assistance you need may not be available, but the staff at the airport’s special-assistance desk will do everything reasonably possible to help you.

If you have booked special assistance, you must go to the airport’s special-assistance desk two hours before the scheduled flight departure. You should then arrive at the boarding gate at least 30 minutes before departure.

You need to keep your boarding pass or special assistance receipt to show at the destination airport so you can get special assistance there.

Important: If you have not contacted us and are carrying two pieces of carry-on baggage (not counting medical equipment), they will be charged the relevant check-in bag fee, unless they have priority boarding or 10kg Check-in bag on their boarding pass.

6.5 Travelling with mobility aids or medical equipment

If you have reduced mobility you can take two pieces of mobility equipment, plus medical equipment you need for the duration of your stay, on the plane free of charge.

If you want to have medical equipment in your checked-in luggage, you must contact our Special Assistance Line to get a ‘checked baggage waiver’ letter to show staff at the bag-drop desk.

If you want to take medical equipment on the plane as carry-on baggage, you must contact our Special Assistance Line to get a ‘cabin baggage waiver’ letter to show staff at the boarding gate.

6.6 Aisle wheelchairs and toilets

We have aisle wheelchairs available on all our planes and our crew are trained in using them to help passengers with reduced mobility get to and from the toilet door.
There are three toilets on our planes – two at the back of the plane and one at the front – and they all have a grab rail.

7. PASSENGERS WHO NEED TO BY ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT

If you are not self-reliant (see below), you must travel with an able-bodied adult aged 16 and over who could provide any help you need with the tasks listed in 7.1.

7.1 Guidelines on being self-reliant

The information below on being self-reliant is set out by the UK Department for Transport –Access to Air Travel for Disabled People: Code of Practice (July 2008) and in the European Commission’s guidelines on applying EC regulation 1107/2006 (2012).

Each passenger must be self-reliant by reference to all of the categories listed below. If not, then he/she must travel with an able bodied, accompanying adult aged 16 and over who is capable of providing the assistance required. Otherwise, the passenger will be denied boarding.

To be self-reliant, you must be able to:
  • Fasten/unfasten your seatbelts wen instructed to do so by crew
  • Fit the lifejacket unaided when instructed to do so by crew;
  • Put an oxygen mask on unaided when the crew says to do so; and
  • Understand the safety briefing and any advice and instructions the crew could give in an emergency situation.
You must also travel with an adult if you need help with any of the following areas to travel with a personal assistant. Failure to do so will lead to denied boarding or relevant services if we believe that the passengers’ carriage may pose a risk to crew or aircraft safety.
  • Feeding; (passengers must be able to feed themselves unaided);
  • Using the toilet; (passengers must be able to use the toilet facilities unaided); or
  • Taking medication or performing medical procedures (passengers must be capable of administering their own medicines and medical procedures).
If you are travelling with an accompanying adult because you have a disability or reduced mobility, we will do our best to make sure you sit together.

An adult can only accompany one passenger with a disability or reduced mobility and must pay the correct adult fare.

8. GUIDE DOGS AND ASSISTANCE DOGS

8.1 Travelling with a guide dog or assistance dog

You can take a guide dog or assistance dog on any of our flights within the EU or EEA.

You cannot take a guide dog or assistance dog on any of our flights to and from Morocco or Israel.

We can carry up to four guide dogs or assistance dogs in a flight (one dog per passenger). The dog, along with containers and food, travel free of charge.

If you are not sure whether your guide dog or assistance dog can travel with you, contact the destination airport before you travel.

General guidelines:
  • The dog must be trained to perform the tasks you need them for.
  • Throughout the journey, the dog must wear a jacket or harness that identifies it as a guide dog or assistance dog.
  • The dog must sit on the floor at your feet.
  • You must tell us that you will be travelling with a guide dog or assistance dog beforehand, and preferably when you make your booking. After you have made your booking, you can tell us about the dog through the ‘My bookings’ section on our website or by phoning our Special Assistance Line.
  • The dog must wear a suitable harness (provided by you) attached to your seatbelt during take-off, landing and turbulence. There may be other suitable equipment with alternative attachment points.

We are not liable for any guide dog or assistance dog that does not have the correct document needed.

9. ELECTRIC WHEELCHAIRS AND MOBILITY SCOOTERS

If you will be travelling with an electric wheelchair or mobility scooter, at least 48 hours before your flight you must tell us the make, model and weight of the wheelchair or scooter, and its height when it is collapsed. You must bring the operating instructions for the wheelchair or scooter to the airport.

General conditions:
  • The wheelchair’s or scooter’s battery must be a dry/gel battery or a lithium-ion battery. (Lithium-ion batteries cannot exceed a total of 300 watts. If your wheelchair or scooter has two lithium-ion batteries, each one must not exceed 160 watts.) The battery must be disconnected and the exposed terminals must be protected from short-circuiting.
  • The wheelchair’s or scooter’s key must be removed, or it must be deactivated using the joystick, an isolation switch or button, or another isolation mechanism (such as Anderson Connector or Airsafe plug).
  • When the wheelchair or scooter is collapsed it must not be more than 81cms high, 119cms wide and 119cms deep.
  • Wheelchairs and mobility scooters cannot be in the plane’s cabin. We have aisle wheelchairs available on all our planes and our crew are trained in using them to help passengers with reduced mobility get to and from the toilet door.
  • You should get travel insurance to cover your mobility aids as our liability relating to them is limited under the Montreal Convention 1999.
10. OXYGEN FOR MEDICAL USE

For safety reasons, passengers cannot bring their own oxygen on board. If you will need to use oxygen for medical purpose during the flight, you must request it from us, free of charge, when you make your booking. If you do not request it when you make your booking, you must request it at least 3 days before you travel by contacting your call centre or emailing our Special Assistance Team. In this case, you will need to pay a fee for the oxygen.

Under safety regulations we can only provide oxygen for one passenger on a flight.

If we agree to provide oxygen for you, you must carry a letter from your doctor, written in English, confirming that:
  • You are fit to travel;
  • You do not need a continuous supply of oxygen for more than 250 minutes at a flow rate of 2 litres per minute; and
  • The oxygen we provide is suitable for you.
You cannot take the flight without this letter.

Note: oxygen cannot be provided on flights that are operated by Air Explore or Smartlynx.

11. INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND SKIN CONDITIONS

All airlines can refuse to carry passengers with medical conditions that may get worse, or have serious consequences, during the flight.

More information on this is given in the World Health Organization’s fitness to fly information.

If we have reason to believe that you could be suffering from an infectious disease or skin condition, or you have a visible skin condition, you may have to show a medical certificate or doctor’s letter to confirm that you are fit to fly.

If you have any of the following conditions, you must have a medical certificate confirming that you are fit to fly:
  • Rubella (at least 4 days must have passed since the rash appeared)
  • Measles (at least 7 days must have passed since the rash appeared)
  • Mumps (the swelling must have gone down, which usually takes 7 days but can take up to 14 days)
  • Chicken pox (at least 7 days must have passed since the last spot appeared)
In order to slow down transmission of the COVID-19 virus, passengers may be required to undergo and pass temperature checks at the airport and wear a mandatory face mask in the airport and on-board. Some countries require passengers to wear surgical face masks at the airport and on-board the aircraft. Children under 6 do not need to wear a face mask. It is each passenger’s responsibility to check local requirements before travelling. Passengers who suffer from a medical condition that prevents them from wearing a face mask are exempted from the face mask obligation on provision of a medical certificate attesting their condition. If you fail to comply with these requirements, you may not be allowed to travel.

12. PREGNANT PASSENGERS AND NEW MOTHERS

12.1 Pregnant women

If you are 28 weeks (or more) pregnant, you must have a ‘fit to fly’ letter from your midwife or doctor. This letter should be dated no more than two weeks before your booked flight and shown to staff at either the bag-drop desk or the boarding gate. If you do not have this letter, we can refuse to carry you.

You cannot travel after the 36th week of your pregnancy, or the 32nd week if you are having twins, triplets or so on.

12.2 New mothers

You can fly from 48 hours after giving birth, as long as there were no complications or surgery. If you had a Caesarean section, or you needed surgery, you cannot fly for at least 10 days and will need a fit to fly letter from you doctor.

To make a change, go to the ‘My Bookings’ section of our website or contact our reservation centre. (It is cheaper to make the change through our website.) If you do not want to make the change for all the passengers in your booking, you cannot make the change on our website. You will have to contact a reservation centre.

You cannot make a change on our website in the following circumstances:
  • If a Spanish resident subsidy has been applied
  • If a Spanish large family subsidy has been applied

To make a change, got to the ‘My bookings’ section of our website or contact our reservation centre. (It is cheaper to make the change through our website.) If you do not want to make the change for all the passengers in your booking, you cannot make the change on our website. You will have to contact a reservation centre.

You have the option to fly to or from different airports of your initial routes on your booking, providing the departure and/or arrival airports are located in the same two countries.

See an example below:

Original Flights - Dublin -> Stansted / Stansted -> Dublin Change to – Dublin -> Stansted / Manchester -> Dublin

You cannot change a domestic flight to an international flight or vice versa due to VAT related issues.

13.3 Cost of flight changes

Flight-change fees are charged per person for each one-way flight (outbound and return) and change according to season. See our Table of fees for details.

As well as the flight-change fees, you must also pay any difference between the original fare and any fees for optional services (such as check-in bags) paid at the time of booking and the fare/fee available when you make the change. If the fare/fee of the new flight is lower, we will not refund the difference.

If you are travelling with children and the seats you chose in your original booking are not available on the new flight, you will be charged the price difference if the new seats you reserve are more expensive. (If the price of the new seats is lower, we will not refund the difference.)

13.4 Name change

You can change names on the booking up to four hours before the scheduled departure time of your flight. You can do this through the ‘My bookings’ section of our website, by calling a reservation centre or at the airport ticket desk. Name changes must be made to all the flights in your booking.
Name-change fees are charged per passenger/per booking, please see our table of fees for details.

13.5 Correcting mistakes

You can swap your first name and last name within 48 hours after making your booking. You can correct spelling mistakes of up to 3 characters per name free of charge through the My Booking section up to 48 hours before scheduled departure. Corrections can be made only once per passengers on a booking. We will not charge you for these corrections, as long as we reasonably believe you are correcting a mistake and not trying to change the booking to someone else.

If you are changing your flight date, time or need to reverse the routing of your flights within 24 hours of making your booking, we will not charge the flight-change fee shown in our table of fees, but you will have to pay any price difference between the original fare and the fare for the new flight (If the fare of the new flight is lower, we will not refund the difference.)

14. PRIORITY

You can get Priority boarding from €6/£6 to €35.99/£35.99 per passenger on each one-way flight (outbound and return). Priority boarding allows you to board the plane first. It also allows you to take a large item of carry-on baggage (weighing up to 10kg with maximum dimensions of 55cm x 40cm x 20cm) on the plane, unless we have good reason to place the large item of baggage in the hold. In this case, take any valuables out of the baggage.

Boarding starts 30 minutes before the flight departs.

15. RESERVED SEATING

You can reserve your choice of seat, for a fee, when you make your booking or in the ‘Manage my bookings’ section, up to 2 hours before the scheduled departure.

15.1 Online check-in

You can check-in online between 60 and 2 hours before your booked flight, if you have reserved a seat.

If you do not want to reserve a seat, you will be allocated a random seat free of charge and can check-in online between 48 hours and 2 hours before each flight if you booked before 28 January 2021, and between 24 hours and 2 hours before each flight if you booked as of 28 January 2021.

15.2 Seat restrictions

We can change your allocated seats at any time, even if you had reserved it, if we need to do this for operational, safety or security reasons.
