To counter this, flight prices will increase.
Debatable if moves like this are actually good for consumers. Sometimes I don’t need anything more than a small bag and don’t pay extra – now it’ll just be baked into the price anyways. Also means less space for hand luggage (hence more gate-checking).
Ryanair only have themselves to blame. They have been taking the piss lately with charging people at the gate and claiming their bags are too big.
Ryanair will just charge us extra for every item of clothing we wear
I liked my 20 quid backpack trip. This was something that didnt need regulation
Nice. This was becoming too annoying.
I’m not sure how I feel about governments getting this involved in how businesses operate.
Can we do something about the money sucking leech that is Ticketmaster next? That’d be great.
Ah no wonder Michael O Leary is being a big gobshite lately. He’s prob down a couple of vacations from that now.
I’m not for or against this, but it’s quite benign compared to the fact they’re (E.U. lawmakers) trying to quietly bring in legislation that means all our messages must be scanned.

So I guess now most airlines will force the luggage to be checked-in, like Aer Lingus? Because, as far as I know, there is not enough space for everyone to put the carry-ons on the overhead bins, right? So if everyone can bring one for free, and everyone does, but then the bags don’t fit when everyone is boarding….?
It’s a proposal – not a mandate yet
It is only 7kg worth of free hand luggage afaik. I presume the additional few K with be charged at high rates. Or forced to put in hold over 7kg and charged for the privilege.
I wouldn’t get too excited.
There are already two tiers of hand luggage – the little propeller planes operated by the likes of Emerald to regional airports have smaller hand luggage allowances simply because the lockers are smaller.
If the EU is to introduce this, I imagine they’ll set a minimum size bag that must be allowed as hand luggage – and this minimum will be in line with the smaller planes like those little ATR-72s.
Ryanair will allow those bags free because they have to. But they’ll charge for “premium” – larger hand luggage which will conveniently be the small suitcases we’re all used to.
Cue some random bullshit excuse from Micheal O’Leary
It’s just a proposal, title is misleading
