Too bad for Easyjet and Ryanair
Easyjet and Ryanair were recently attempting to entirely eliminate free
checked baggage on their planes. Now all of their planes leaving the UK will have nothing but checked baggage. Too bad, so sad. Pete |

I gather, from a radio interview with one of their managers, that Ryanair will continue to charge for checked baggage. So they win. -- PB The return address has been MUNGED My travel writing: http://www.iol.ie/~draoi/ |

Since their flights are generaly short, it is less of a problem to not have any hand luggage. (although this will likely be relaxed shortly to allow hand luggage but not liquids, and later on hopefully return to normal). For hoodlums using Ryannair to go to see footbal games, they don't need any checked luggage. They can just buy their beer at destination. But for tourists using Ryannair to travel for the weekend, stuff such as cameras etc are not somethingt you prefer to put in checked luggage. It will be interesting to see what happens to the channel train services. (Eurotunnel recently entered bankrupcy protection). I think that the uglieness in air travel will push more people to drive across the pond or just take the train. |

I said EUROTUNNEL was bankrupt. Eurostar is making a profit because it is just a customer of EUROTUNNEL and doesn't have to pay back the huge debts incurred when the tunnel was built. |

I think that the uglieness in air travel will push more people to drive across the pond or just take the train. Note that *Eurotunnel* is the tunnel operator and if they go broke it just means that the British and French governments get the tunnel back earlier than 2042 and a lot of banks have a bit of a problem. The passenger train operator is *Eurostar*. Yesterday a plane passenger was transferring to Eurostar every 10 seconds, according to one of the newspaper sites I read today. -- Arwel Parry http://www.cartref.demon.co.uk/ |

Too bad, so sad. And that means it must by definition be "free"? Just because it's compulsor to check it means that they cannot charge for checking it? How do you arrive at that conclusion? |
