Paying for adult children and family to visit

Callistemon Ryanair flights can start at under £20 if you don't take any luggage, other than a small bag (ie handbag)

If you pay for priority it's between £6 and £30 for 2 cabin bags.

A 10kg check in back is between £12 and £25 and a 20 kg bag is between £18 and £50.

If you want reserved seats, the price depends where in the plane that you want to sit - front rows , sets for long legs and you must reserve if you want to sit together. If you don't want to pay for special seats you will be allocated a seat during the final 24 hours before departure.

All the above prices are for one flight.

My DH moved to France 18 months before I did. I used to fly over frequently and used to pay around £10. I had a hessian Tesco bag that I used to take my clothes in which would squash under the seat in front. Those days are long gone.

OP stated she is in USA. No Ryanair involved, I don't believe.

Cheap flights abound in USA. The carrier we use allows a free bag.

As far as I can see the OP ( Lucy125 ) has not posted since Wednesday.
This smells of a (very clever) wind up.

I've only flown once with Ryanair. Yes, we paid for a piece of hold luggage on top of the fares (not that cheap either!)

We were told in the queue just before we boarded that there was no room for hand luggage, it would have to go in the hold so people were unpacking, scrabbling around for carrier bags to put medication, jewellery in before hand luggage went into the hold.

I think the OP is in the USA.

I realise that the OP is in the US but I thought that you were commenting upon the price in general, hence the Ryanair info.

Do you have children or grandchildren of your own? I probably spend thousands on mine but as it is spread over the year it is not so noticeable. If they lived near and you saw them weekly and paid for little things it would add up over the year.
