Am flying out to Germany with Ryanair and sure to a arecent accident, one of our party will be travelling on crutches. Any one got any idea what their take is with this? Does it eff up the baggage allowance, or what's the story...?

Is the part of the body in a cast? This is from their website, I think the person should be ok.

Can I travel with a broken limb in a cast?

All passengers travelling with broken limbs in plaster are required to travel with a medical certificate.
Passengers traveling with upper limbs in cast, waist and above, will only require one seat to travel.
Adult passengers travelling with lower limbs in cast, waist and/or full leg plaster, must purchase three seats in total, per journey, to travel. This will enable the leg to be elevated during the flight and reduce swelling.

Passengers travelling with lower leg in plaster, below the knee only, will only require one seat.
If a plaster cast has been fitted on any limb for less than 48 hours then the cast needs to be split (the split need to run along the entire length of the cast) If the plaster cast been fitted for more than 48 hours there is no requirement for the cast to be split. This is applicable for both plaster of paris and resin casts.
A medical certificate confirming fitness to fly will be required.

Nah, no cast involved. Just a lower back problem and the crutches aid walking. We've got a three hour train ride with three connections on the other side, so we're going to need them. Not sure I trust the Ryanair website.

I think you should just give them a quick call, just let them know your situation beforehand, cant hurt anyway.
