How they do it: With Ryanair, a standard airfare might be advertised to a customer for as low as $50. But the base fare is complemented with a host of add-on offerings. Reserving a seat will be charged to the customer for $16. Customers checking a bag will face a $25 surcharge. From travellers who forget to print the boarding pass at home, $95 is collected at the airport before boarding. These add-on services amount to roughly one quarter of Ryanairs revenue.
