The Spanish Ministry of Consumer Affairs sanctioned Ryanair for charging for hand luggage in the cabin, surcharges for adjacent seats for children and persons requiring assistance, refusal of cash payments at airports, an excessive fee for printing boarding passes and non-transparent price information. At 107,775,777 EUR, Ryanair accounted for the largest share of the total fine of 179 million EUR imposed on five low-cost airlines.

What organisations can take from it

Unavoidable additional charges and surcharges must be included transparently in the final price and must be legally permissible.
