🎒Big changes are coming for Ryanair travellers! From November, Ryanair will tighten its grip on pesky oversized baggage, aiming to reward gate staff even more for catching those trying to sneak extra luggage onboard. Currently, staff can earn 1.50 euros per oversized bag they spot, but soon that’ll jump to 2.50 euros, and a monthly cap will be lifted. No more playing hide-and-seek with your bags, folks!
Ryanair’s chief, Michael O’Leary, isn’t backing down, saying he has “absolutely no apology” for enforcing these rules. So, if you’re thinking of carrying that oversized rucksack, think again! With fines reaching up to £75 if caught, it’s worth playing by the rules. The airline flies a whopping 200 million passengers yearly, and catching cheeky baggage helps maintain their super-low-cost service. But it seems Ryanair’s approach hasn’t won everyone’s heart. Rory Boland from Which? Travel highlights the confusing myriad of baggage rules that can trip up even seasoned travellers. With so many fare options and luggage allowances, it’s easy to get caught out at the gate. 📏
So, what’s the takeaway? 📢 Follow the rules, pack smartly, and avoid any surprises at the gate. Smooth travels, everyone! ✈️🛄
