Similarly, I am going to Dublin next week with the family. If I could
have persuaded the wife to leave a bag and the toddler behind, we'd be
going for 6p all in; as it is, it broke down like this:
0.02 GBP Total Fare
0.00 GBP Taxes, Fees & Charges
6.00 GBP Passenger Fee: Airport Check in
20.00 GBP Passenger Fee: Infant
16.00 GBP Passenger Fee: BAG
42.02 GBP Total Paid
for me and the infant, and:
0.04 GBP Total Fare
0.00 GBP Taxes, Fees & Charges
0.04 GBP Total Paid
for the mrs plus kid no 1.
£42.06 all in. Two separate bookings meant only one set of check in
charges, plus the second booking can use online check in and be in the
first group of passengers to board.
