Ryanair cuts free hand luggage allowance
Ryanair will cut its regular hand-luggage allowance from 2 pieces to just 1 in a bid to reduce boarding delays. Ryanair currently allows all passengers to bring 1 large (55cm x 40cm x 20cm) and 1 small (35cm x 20cm x 20cm) item of hand luggage into the cabin. This is more generous than EasyJet, which strictly enforces a 1-bag policy for non-priority passengers. However, with load factors running at 97% in August, Ryanair said there is not enough overhead bin space for 182 customers to each have 2 carry-on bags (364 bags in total), causing flight delays. Under the changes, which takes effect on all flight departures from Nov 1, Ryanair will require non-priority passengers to give up their second, larger bag at the gate. There will be no fee for this service, although the bag must be handed over at the gate and not the check-in desk. <br/>
