Making a Reservation

Taxes, Fees and Charges are calculated by reference to the government taxes and airport charges payable by Ryanair on a particular route on that particular itinerary. These may include government taxes, airport taxes, passenger service charges, wheelchair/special assistance levy, insurance surcharges and in some cases passenger security charges as well.

Full explanations of the taxes, fees and charges are detailed below:

UK Air Passenger Duty - Taxes such as UK Air Passenger Duty are levied on the carriage by air if passengers are departing from a UK airport. The fees are as follows:

£11 (GBP) per person for each UK domestic flight (£22 on a return UK domestic flight)
£11 (GBP) per person for flights from the UK to an EU/EEA airport

Government Tax - These are government levied air travel taxes which are payable in certain countries.

Passenger Service Charge/Airport tax - This is a charge made by the airport authority to an airline for the use of the terminal, runway, emergency services, security facilities etc. In some cases this charge also includes the cost of passenger and ramp handling at the airport. This non refundable charge is made on a per passenger basis and varies from airport to airport.

Aviation Insurance Levy - This aviation insurance surcharge was introduced after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Governments no longer covered airlines for acts of terrorism and consequently airline insurance costs rose dramatically. The charge is €5.69 per passenger/per flight and similar measures have also been taken by airlines worldwide.

Wheelchair Levy - This charge is 50cent per passenger/per flight.
