My Regatta Survivor 35 also fits. Wizz insisted in checking, but it
fitted their measuring thing.


Ditto my Blacks somethingorother 35, at least making sure not to overstuff
the pockets.

The carrier that uses that limit? Step forward Ryanair.


EasyJet works its pilots extremely hard as well.


But which four week maximum do they use - 80 (advisory) or 100 (absolute)
hours?


Absolute, I think he said.

I'll check that out.

Ryanair using the absolute maximum was shown up in an AAIB Incident Report:
these show the hours in the previous 28 day period.

From the Ryanair website - the current list of who *can't* check in
online (each will have a reason, whether immediately obvious or not)
with infants at no 4:

[passengers without an EU/EAA/Swiss passport or ID card]
* Passengers travelling with checked baggage
* Children aged between 14 to 17 years travelling alone
* Passengers travelling with infants
* Passengers travelling with mobility equipment (including
children's pushchairs)
* Passengers with reduced mobility, blind/vision impaired passengers
including those travelling with a sighted companion or guide dog
* Passengers who require special assistance at the airport
* Online Check-In is not available from Romanian or Moroccan
airports.
* Passengers travelling on a passport which is due to expire within
30 days from the date of travel.
* When there are more than 9 passengers booked in a reservation
* Passengers travelling on the same reservation with a passenger who
is not entitled to Online Check-in.
* Passengers who have booked and extra seat for the carriage of
musical instruments etc. or for comfort.

... so every single one of those will have to be overcome to introduce
online-only check in.


Well, they've solved the third one (unaccompanied 14-17 year olds) by
changing the rule to:

Under 16 - Can't fly
16+ - Can now do online check-in.

I'll report back on my Easyjet flight today.


I obviously looked like a soft target because I was swooped upon while
waiting at the gate by a 'supervisor' who said I would have to check
one of my bags (rollerbag or laptop) as there was a limit of one. "You
agreed the terms and Conditions" he said. A few other people had more
than one carryon and weren't challenged.


BMIbaby irritating me again today. At the gate they let through a lady
with a *huge* holdall plus a shopping-bag sized handbag, then insisted I
put my IATA-sized rollerbag in the gauge. It fitted, of course.

And at the plane was a lady with a baby plus three carry-ons and a
pushchair sigh.

Presumably the 0.5kg could have gone in your pocket.


0.05kg, and no, it couldn't, because I had my Eee, five books

and various other odds and sods there already ...

Remember that next time you book with them.


Only on a moral basis that they're rotten to their staff.

Really, no civil pilot is likely to fly in such a way/state that their
passengers would be in danger, as *they* would also be in danger.


Unless they work for Aeroflot
