Ryanair passengers say they are ‘held to ransom’ by new cabin-baggage rules
Ryanair’s latest change to its cabin-bag policy has triggered fury among passengers. But the carrier insists the policy will benefit travellers thanks to more punctual departures. The allowance of free bags remains the same: a large case no more than 10kg and 55 x 40 x 20cm, plus a smaller bag no bigger than 35 x 20 x 20cm. Travellers take these through security to the departure gate. But unless the passenger pays extra for priority boarding, the larger case will be removed at the aircraft gate and placed in the hold. The change was announced last summer. It was initially planned to be introduced Nov 1, but was postponed until Jan 15 as the airline sorted out the problems with pilot rostering which led to mass flight cancellations. <br/>
