Ryanair Doubles Down on Oversized Baggage Fees: Staff Incentives Increased

To combat the issue of passengers bringing oversized cabin bags to the gate, Ryanair is considering doubling the commission paid to staff for identifying them. Currently, employees receive €1.50 for each oversized bag, and passengers are charged extra fees. Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary stated that bags exceeding size restrictions will be refused or checked in for a fee of up to €75. He emphasized the airline's continued incentive program for staff enforcing baggage rules and indicated that passengers who consistently violate these rules are unwelcome.
