                         ENCOURAGE FREE ONLINE CHECK-IN

Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares airline today (Wednesday, 23rd January 2008)
announced that it is increasing checked-in baggage and airport check-in fees
with immediate effect for all new bookings as part of its continued drive to
encourage passengers to travel without checked in bags and avail of Ryanair's
free of charge online check in.

For all bookings made from today onwards, Ryanair's checked in baggage fee will
increase from £5 to £6 per bag and the airport check-in fee will increase from
£2 to £3. Ryanair hopes that these increases will encourage more passengers to
avoid these charges by travelling with its generous hand luggage allowance
(10kg) and checking in free of charge on-line, which also has the benefit of
free priority boarding.

Speaking today, Ryanair's Head of Communications Peter Sherrard said:

        'Ryanair remains determined to encourage more and more passengers to
        travel with carry on luggage only, which allows them to use our free of
        charge web check-in, skip airport queues and enjoy our priority boarding
        service free of charge.

        'We have already seen huge increases in the numbers of passengers using
        Ryanair's internet check-in since we made it free of charge last
        September. These increased charges will incentivise even more passengers
        to use our free web check-in service allowing us to cut airport and
        handling costs and further reduce our guaranteed lowest fares as we grow
        from 50 million to 60 million passengers in the coming year.

        'These will not be the last increases in Ryanair's checked in baggage or
        airport check in fees, which will continue to increase over time until
        we reach our objective of persuading at least 50% of all Ryanair
        passengers to travel with hand luggage only, use our free web check-in
        service and avoid airport check-in queues. This will in turn allow us to
        reduce the number of airport check-in desks that we rent and the
        handling staff we employ so that we can continue to pass on these
        handling savings in the form of Europe's guaranteed lowest fares'

Ends.                                Wednesday, 23rd January 2008
