People are absolutely trying to about baggage fees now, with the result being overhead bins being packed to the brim and causing delayed when people's stuff won't fit and had to be gate checked.
For a $300-400 ticket, baggage fees can amount to 10-20% of the cost of ticket so many people are in fact motivated to avoid the fees.
- Symbiote 9y agoRyanair used to be one of the worst for passengers avoiding the luggage fee. With flights costing as little as £5, but luggage being about £20, that's no surprise. But last month, I flew Copenhagen-London with only an ordinary backpack. My print-at-home boarding pass clearly showed[1] that if my bag was larger than a normal backpack (i.e. too big to fit under a seat), it would probably be checked in at the gate during boarding. With everyone aware of this, I saw no arguments, and boarding the plane was orderly and fast. There was a trolley for the gate-checked bags to be put on, as we walked to the plane.
