Ryanair: £30 charge if you can't fit duty free in your hand luggage
That's about $40 in US currency?
Full read: http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2...r-hand-baggage Snip: ========== Under the hand luggage rules, any passenger who attempts to board with more than one piece of hand lugage will be charged £30 at the departure gate. If they refuse to pay the extra fee, they have the option of dumping their purchases at the gate or missing their flight. The hand luggage weight limit is 10kg, with maximum dimensions of 55cm x 40cm x 20cm. As well as duty free purchases, laptops and handbags will have to be contained in the single piece of hand luggage to avoid the fee. =========== Wonder how many will try and hide a laptop or purse inside a jacket? |

Ryanair: £30 charge if you can't fit duty free in your hand luggage
In my experience they generally don't enforce that rule too rigerously -
I've certainly boarded several Ryanair planes carrying airport purchases separately from my normal carry-on. Presumably the rule's in place to prevent major abuses or people trying to carry several bags of airport purchases onto the plane. "Duh_OZ" wrote in message ... That's about $40 in US currency?

I was wondering more how much time they must waste at boarding gate extracting £30 from the punters with more than one item, but then Ryanair's idea of money-scrimping sometimes get absurd: When you do an online check-in, you get the customer copy AND the boarding card printed on the same piece of paper. It's great for tree-huggers, but the result is that the poor wench at the boarding gate has to tear the piece of paper down the dotted line BY HAND for every one of the 150+ passengers getting into one of their 737s, which does slow the whole process down a bit, especially as she has to count the boarding passes and check the IDs all at the same time.

Ryanair: �30 charge if you can't fit duty free in your hand luggage
Here's an idea.
To speed up your process Tear your boarding pass/receipt just enough so the Gate Agent only has to tear a very little bit to separate the two. Easy. Simple. Pono do the right thing. |

You "pay up promptly or you don't get on the plane", they certainly aren't going to hold the plane whilst you argue tim |
