That's the thing they're charging for :)

I am skeptical of intervention generally, but #1) it got out of hand entirely, particularly RyanAir, #2) they're intervening because that's the law. They're finally getting around to enforcing it. This is where the They the People drew a line w/r/t opportunity to charge fees.
Most importantly, you didn't expect to get charged the fee for your small bag. That gives us a revealed preference, the most honest of all.
- GardenLetter27 1y agoNo, I have travelled with RyanAir extensively - a small underseat bag is included right now. Just not cabin luggage.
- refulgentis 1y agoLetter of the RyanAir rule is if it fits 40cm x 20cm x 25cm - I got what felt like a rushed extortion attempt myself about 8 months based on that. Had a couple flights where it sort felt like the Best Buy Protection Plan sales scenario, where that was what the gate's crew perceived as a core duty. (I hear ya, I was going to go with the more concise argument that this is about price transparency, rather than go off experience or handwaving about anecdotes or "everyone knows...", but realized it'd just turn into anecdata vs. anecdata)
