Ryanair Passenger Shocked After Being Charged £60 for Mini Suitcase Despite Meeting Size Requirements
A Ryanair passenger was left astounded after being charged £60 (€72) for her mini suitcase, which she insists fit perfectly in the airline’s metal sizing device.
Under Ryanair’s policy, standard fare passengers are allowed to bring one small bag onboard, with a maximum dimension of 40 x 30 x 25cm.
Travellers wishing to carry more baggage can opt for a cabin baggage upgrade, which permits a bag weighing up to 10kg and measuring no more than 55 x 40 x 20cm.
Booking this upgrade in advance can cost up to €36, but Ryanair warns that failing to do so may result in a hefty €60 charge at the gate.
The airline’s stricter luggage enforcement is part of its ongoing competition with carriers such as Jet2, EasyJet, TUI, and British Airways.
