Re: Ryanair - The Case of the Magic Baggage
 

I must say I thought Ryanair were excellent. The plane was very modern and very clean, the staff were very professional. The landing was one of the best I had experienced for years - never felt a thing, and on top of that it was very cheap. I will certainly use them again. I didnt pay for luggage as I only tool hand luggage but they certainly didnt weight it going or coming. Well done Ryanair:thumbup:

I agree ..... but that isn't the point of this thread :D
Its not another knock Ryanair thread ..... its simply raising a question about methods for baggage excess calculations

Re: Ryanair - The Case of the Magic Baggage
 

Last time I flew home from the UK with Ryanair I had so much excess baggage I put some in my coat pockets (it was March) and gave some to my sister to hold while I was at the check-in desk. Once I had my boarding pass I went round the corner and we put in all into my cabin bag. This made the bag very heavy (about 16kg) but a nice member of the cabin crew kindly lifted it into the overhead locker without comment. Naughty perhaps but I did feel smug:sneaky:

As it turned out they didn't weigh my cabin bag at any stage of the process so I could have put it all in there to start with. They also provided scales in the check-in hall for people to weigh their cases before getting to the desk. This resulted in whole families repacking their bags to redistribute the weight, putting on extra clothes etc, turning the place into something resembling a jumble sale. At least it cut down the queuing while people argued with check-in staff.

Ah the glamour of travel these days.:thumbsup:

I'm happy with Ryan. Cheap, and as yet I have never had a real problem with them.

Occasionally they do have scales at the beginning of security, and the make you weigh the hand luggage if it looks as tho you are pushing the limits.
