]]> It can be hard to track down exact information about the luggage limitations on low-cost carriers.  They do their absolute best to hide it deep in the bowels of their websites.  But knowledge is power (and more often than not, serious money), fellow travelers!

Here, for your edification, are the luggage rules and prices (as of mid-September 2013) for a number of Europe’s largest discount airlines. This information is provided as-is, pulled from each airline’s website. For each carrier, we’ve included a link to their full rules—be sure to double check their policies to make sure they haven’t changed in the meantime.  (If you discover such a change, please leave us a note in the comments so we can correct the chart.)

And away we go!
