I have heard that as of a couple of weeks ago Ryanair have started to charge for pushchairs as baggage for those who have kids over the age of two (i.e not infants). We have travelled several times in the last year and the pushchair is accepted without charge. We are booked to travel on Monday and are now facing airport check in penalty fee on both sectors!
It appears the terms and conditions have not changed, but under the heading "infants and children" the section about buggies refers to infants only. As this has always been the case (and it looks like a mistake rather than the intention to exclude above 2's) does anyone know what rights I have in refusing the charge? The precedents over the last few years must count for something no?
If it's true travelling with kids becomes virtually impossible, with the maximum weight allowence being 15kgs in total, and the buggy will almost come to that...Looks like this will be my last Ryanair flight..
