Overview

• Airport staff receive €1.50 for each oversized hand luggage detected, capped at €80 per month.
• Passengers with carry-ons exceeding Ryanair’s limits face surcharges of up to €75 at gate or check-in.
• CEO Michael O’Leary says the bonus targets the 0.1% of travelers who breach baggage rules while nearly all comply.
• New EU regulations set a 40×30×15 cm minimum for free cabin bags, prompting Ryanair to uplift its allowance to 40×30×20 cm in coming weeks.
