"Ryanair has been conducting a tireless crackdown on passengers who try to take bags larger than the stated maximum dimensions on to its aircraft for free. According to CEO Michael O'Leary, the number of passengers with oversized bags has gone way down since the implementation of these strict measures."
"O'Leary would very much like you to know he doesn't care about bad publicity. He stated, 'I make absolutely no apology for it whatsoever,' when he decided to raise the bounty for apprehended oversized bags."
"Ryanair's permitted volume for cabin bags is actually more generous than the EU's minimum guaranteed free bag size introduced last summer, which is 40cm by 30cm by 15cm. Ryanair increased its dimensions to be 33% greater than this minimum."
Ryanair has implemented strict regulations on cabin bag sizes, allowing only bags smaller than 40cm by 30cm by 20cm for free. Passengers must check their bags in a cage at the airport to ensure compliance. If a bag is oversized, a fee of up to 75 may be charged. The airline incentivizes ground staff with a bounty for each oversized bag caught, leading to a significant decrease in violations. Despite potential bad publicity, Ryanair's CEO remains unapologetic about these policies.
