Ryanair's bases in Italy

Basic aircraft

A Ryanair flight does not include some of the amenities one is used to on modern aircraft - reclining seats, seatback pockets & window shades are all missing.

What you see isn't what you get

By the time you get through to the end of the Ryanair booking system, you will probably find yourself paying more than the price quoted, here's an idea of what it will cost you extra per passenger per flight (i.e. double it for a return flight):.

Airport check-in

£40

Checked baggage
(maximum 15kg, 12/€15 per kg excess)

£130 for a 23kg bag
£85 for a 20kg bag
£10 for a 15kg bag

Unless you're paying with Visa electron

£50

The above is something of a simplification to give you an idea of the extras, and it is possible that the terms and conditions have changed since I wrote that up (check the detail terms and conditions on the Ryanair website).

Incidents

10 Nov 2008

Ryanair flight 4102 from Hahn to Rome Ciampano Airport crashlands at Ciampino Airport. The Boeing 737-800 lost engine power when a large group of starlings "engulfed" the plane. Attempts to increase power failed, and the plane made a hard landing at Rome Ciampino Airport. None of the 6 crew or 166 passengers were injured.

7 Sep 2005

Ryanair flight FR-9672, a Boeing 737-800, was on its way from Dusseldorf Niederrhein to Rome Ciampino Airport. Having weaved around storms during a prolonged attempted to land at Rome Ciampino Airport, the crew of a Ryanair flight opted for an unplanned landing at Rome Fiumcino Airport (rather than the diversion of Pescara). As a result of the crew not updating the flight management system, the pilots lost position awareness. The co-pilot didn't switch radio frequency to the Rome Fiumicino Airport approach and instead requested descent to two thousand feet. As the plane was heading for the parallel 34R approach path, air traffic controllers instructed an immediate descent to one thousand feet because this approach was in use by a Club Air flight. After being instructed to track left for the 34L approach, the aircraft entered a violent downward microburst. The downward microburst coupled with the fact that the crew were not aware that they were flying too low, led to a decision to abandon the approach and divert to Pescara. The Ryanair captain's 3-month-old son had died a few days before the Niederrhein-Rome Ciampino flight, and the inexperienced co-pilot had not previously flown in adverse weather conditions.
