Traveling on low -cost airlines compels to know the luggage rules and payment of additional services well. In the case of Ryanair, one of the most used carriers in Portugal and Europe, there is a condition that may surprise less attentive passengers: it is not possible to pay certain cash costs.
According to the Irish airline’s website, this limitation applies to services, such as transportation of excess luggage, sports equipment or musical instruments. In these cases, the airline requires the payment to be made by card, as it does not accept cash in most situations related to additional fees or costs.
Luggage rules and allowed items
According to the same source, each passenger can carry a free handbag, within the defined limits, and check in up to three suitcases of basement upon payment of fee. The company also allows the purchase of priority, which gives access to boarding with two pieces of cabin, including one larger.
Write the regulation that, when the passenger opts for the 10 kg basement suitcase, it must be delivered to the luggage counter before safety control. Upon arrival, it will be collected on the package rug, applying the conditions of the basement of the basement luggage.
Additional fees in case of non -compliance
Adds Ryanair that whenever the size or weight of the bag exceeds the allowed, luggage can be refused at the boarding door. Alternatively, it may be transported in the basement of the aircraft, but only upon payment of a rate previously defined by the carrier. This fee paid at the airport must be settled with your credit or debit card.
It refers to the same source that the Duty-free articles purchased at airport stores can be taken to the cabin, simultaneously with the hand luggage. This exception applies regardless of whether or not the passenger has acquired additional luggage services.
Limitation on Payment Method
Explains the company’s website that the rule that most doubts generates is the ban on cash payment for extra luggage -related services and special articles. Justifies this practice with administrative and security costs associated with physical money management at airports, arguing that card payment is faster and more secure.
According to the same source, there are limited exceptions. Some airports may, for local reasons, accept cash payments or specific debit cards. However, this possibility is not guaranteed and the company itself recommends that passengers confirm previously to the airport if these payment methods are available.
