Ryanair customers have to pay the most amount of hidden fees, a new study has found.
Airlines add new charges on top of the fare at every step of the online booking, starting with the seat selection fee, which, when paid, is the only guarantee you will be seated next to your friend, spouse or travel companion. Ryanair charges passengers nearly €250 extra if you are hit with every possible charge, according to figures from a report examining various costs to find out whether low-cost airlines are indeed budget-friendly.
The research looked at seven other airlines and compared the fees for several services, including seat selection, luggage, and check-in. The airlines analyzed in this comparison are Ryanair, British Airways, easyJet, Jet2, Norwegian, Vueling, and Wizz Air.
