Ryanair weighs up increasing bonus to staff for intercepting oversized luggage
Briefly

Ryanair is exploring the option of increasing bonuses for its staff who identify oversized luggage. Current bonuses are around £1.50 per bag, capped at £80 monthly. More than 99.9% of passengers adhere to baggage regulations. A small carry-on bag is included with tickets, but fees apply for larger or additional luggage. Michael O'Leary doubts the European Parliament will enact laws allowing free personal items onboard due to space limitations in aircraft. Ryanair aims to reduce excess baggage issues, asserting that half of passengers can only bring one bag due to capacity constraints.
