Do I need to pay Ryanair checked baggage fee separately on the return trip?

Question

I've paid the checked baggage fee at the airport on the outbound trip. The Ryanair Android app doesn't tell me anywhere whether I can bring a checked bag on the return trip. Do I have to pay again? Can't seem to find this information clearly stated anywhere on their website.

Edit: when I try to add a bag, here's what I see:

Note "You have purchased one bag"; given that this is the button I click to add a bag to the return trip, this text very much seems to imply that I don't need to pay again. Or do I?

Answer 1

Yes. Baggage fees are always per check-in. It is valid for multiple legs when you fly them in sequence, but when you get your baggage back, you're done, and next check-in costs again.
