Watch Out! Another Lets Bash Ryanair Thread !!!
Well they probably deserve it -
"On our second and perhaps even more disturbing foray into the lion’s den that is Ryanair, another juicy little money-making scam has been rolled out by them. They have introduced a second baggage checking system to catch all but the very lightweight traveller. By re-checking the baggage for a second time inside the secure departure area, the company, Ryanair in case you forgot, make sure that ladies carrying handbags have to pay for their other, or what would have been, cabin luggage. Others who buy duty free goods in the departure lounge were subjected to the same indignity and had to surrender their cabin baggage in favour of the newly acquired goods. Here’s the sting Now, just when you thought it was all over, here’s the sting! These same passengers now have to go back through the system and, because they must re-register their baggage, they will be charged an additional 20 euro administration fee for booking their flight at the airport and not on the internet as the majority do" Taken from Round Town News Web Site |

It is not just Ryanair that ask lady's to put their handbags into their hand luggage my sisters flew with easyjet last year and they were asked to as well. I think you will find it all party of airport security and something being inforced by the airport. |
Re: Watch Out! Another Lets Bash Ryanair Thread !!!
The only bad thing I have to say about Ryanair is that they have cancelled some of their schedued flights, and now no longer fly everday to Murcia and Alicante.
I THINK THYE ARE FAB! You get what you pay for, follow the rules and they provide good value for money. Don't follow the rules and you will pay more. Up to the individual really! |

Re: Watch Out! Another Lets Bash Ryanair Thread !!!
The people refered to in the article above have only themselves to blame.
I have received an e- mail from Ryanair today. The rule is clearly stated in black & white. You are shortly booked to travel on a Ryanair flight (your flight details are detailed above). Please note the following important information regarding cabin baggage: • Strictly one item of cabin baggage is permitted per passenger (excluding infants) weighing up to 10kg with maximum dimensions of 55cm x 40cm x 20cm (your handbag, briefcase, laptop, shop purchases, camera etc. must be carried in your 1 permitted piece of cabin baggage). Click here for further information http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/faqs....ggageallowance • If you arrive at the boarding gate with more than one item of cabin baggage or if the item exceeds the maximum permitted dimensions or weight We reserve the right to cancel your reservation without refund and to deny you boarding. |
Re: Watch Out! Another Lets Bash Ryanair Thread !!!
Wel, as it has been said many times, Ryan does exactly what it says on the tin.
You want cheap, you can't complain if you are given a no frills system. I do think that that will go down badly with the retail sector as they make a bomb selling the captive travellers goods and duty free. Now, Ryan travellers will have to ignore them unless they are willing to leave space in their lugage. I just hope they won't twig how much I sometimes carry in my jcket pockets!! |

I am sure that if Ryanair thought that they could get away with charging more for 'overweight' passengers they would ... the dimensions and weight of each passenger being checked before they are permitted to board ;)

At the end of the day, it is their business, and what and how they charge is up to them. If they p*ss off too many people too badly, they will go bust, but as long as they are cheap, there will always be customers |
Re: Watch Out! Another Lets Bash Ryanair Thread !!!
Touch wood, I have not had a problem with Ryanair, certainly nothing like the nightmare I have always found BA.
However they are moving to only online check-ins- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/tr...-in-desks.html |
Re: Watch Out! Another Lets Bash Ryanair Thread !!!
That's already in effect at Stanstead. There is as far as I know, just the bag drop and the little machines that print out your boarding cards.
