Has anyone else caught on to Ryanair’s latest money-making wheeze? Go to book on its website and you’re asked how many bags you will be checking in. Wanting to travel light – and avoid the airline’s charges for checking in your bags – I went to click “none” . . . only to find that there wasn’t a zero option. The nearest equivalent is a window reading “0 bags, online check-in/priority boarding” – for which there is a £4 charge. The cheek of it! Ryanair’s boss, Michael O’Leary, is always saying he wants passengers to travel light; now he’s trying to charge us for that, too.

If you click on the “online check-in” window, a small message does finally appear, allowing you a no-charge, no-bags boarding option – but why is it disguised like this? I actually admire Ryanair’s efficiency, but it’s these constant sneaky ruses to separate us from our cash that make the airline so hard to like. Chris Cooper, London
