Danger! These airlines collect the highest additional fees 2025!

London, Vereinigtes Königreich - The costs for flights can often vary greatly, in particular by additional fees that are collected by airlines. According to a report by OE24, the TradingPedia consumer protection platform analyzed the airlines with the highest additional costs for 2025. As part of this analysis, a simple flight from London to Madrid, booked for July 21, was considered. One of the most remarkable results is that hardly an airline offers free normal hand luggage; As a rule, only a small bag is included under the seat.

The additional fee load for low -cost airlines is particularly noticeable. For example, Ryanair raises between 7 and 42 euros for hand luggage, while the luggage fees for task baggage vary significantly by weight. Jet2 demands about 45 euros for a 22 kg suitcase, and Wizz Air continues to rotate the price spiral with luggage fees of up to 181 euros for large suitcases.

additional fees in detail

In addition to the luggage fees, many airlines also charge fees for the choice of seats. Ryanair demands between 5 and 18 euros for this, while other airlines such as Wizz Air can request up to 60 euros. With non-stop check-in, too, it is reached deep into the pockets. For example, Ryanair raises a whopping 65 euros for an airport check-in, whereas Norwegian only requires 35 euros for this service, but for telephone bookings 70 euros.

• luggage fees:
• ryanair: hand luggage 7 € - € 42, tasks 11 € - 71 €
• Wizz Air: € 20 - 181 € for tasks luggage

Especially the additional costs for children that cause additional fees can also lead to the highest prices when booking. Ryanair and Easyjet charge around 29 euros per toddler, while Wizz Air starts up to 32 euros. So -called "rescue fees" for missed flights are also a significant cost factor. Ryanair demands a proud 118 euros here.

passenger rights and claims

A central aspect of air travel is the passenger rights that are regulated in the EU by a special regulation. This includes claims that passengers can claim in the event of flight problems, including reimbursement of the flight price, compensation payments and support services such as meals or hotel accommodation. This applies in particular if the starting airport is located in the EU or the airline is based in the EU, such as [Konverzentrale.de] (https://www.verzusverzentrale.de/wissen/reise-mobilitaet/unterwegs-sein/faq-zu-flitechten-Alles--rund---dums- 39125) explains.

However, there are also restrictions. In exceptional circumstances, such as bad weather conditions or strikes, the airlines have no demands on compensation payments. Technical defects, on the other hand, do not fall under this definition and can trigger claims. Passengers should therefore always inform themselves about their rights and, if in doubt, consider legal steps if airlines do not fulfill their duties. In summary, the travel expenses in aviation 2025 are particularly shaped by additional fees, whereby consumers should pay attention to their rights so as not to fall into a cost trap. The comprehensive provisions of passenger rights-VO offer the necessary protection for consumers in Europe, even if national laws enable additional claims in certain cases, as on [httpe://www.haufe.de/id/beiTrat/35-reiserecht-i- fleistrecht-vo-Ueberblick-hi14747712.html) is.
