Ryanair pays bonus for catching oversized hand luggage
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 20 – Ryanair plans to increase bonuses for staff identifying oversized bags to reduce violations, with less than 0.1% of passengers currently affected, CEO Michael O'Leary said.
- Ryanair pays staff a bonus of about 1.50 euros per oversized bag identified, capped at approximately 80 euros monthly, to enforce baggage rules.
- The incentive program aims to reduce excess baggage, which passengers must pay fees up to 75 euros for if their luggage exceeds booked sizes or quantities.
- Ryanair includes a free small carry-on bag measuring 40x20x25cm and weighing 10kg, but recently increased allowable hand luggage to 40x30x20cm, enforcing strict size limits.
- Michael O'Leary stated that over 99.9% of passengers follow baggage rules, flights are largely full, and Ryanair plans to work with Boeing to avoid aircraft tariffs.
- The enforcement and bonus system aims to control costs and maintain profitability, amid risks of US-EU tariffs and political uncertainty over potential tariff imposition dates.

Jason and Maria disagree about Ryanair’s crackdown on the “scourge” of oversized luggage in the wake of the news that the airline’s staff are receiving bonuses for catching out passengers with overly-hefty bags. The post Is Ryanair’s baggage policy fair? appeared first on Gript.
"We are flying almost always at full load" said in the interview the CEO of Ryanair Michael O"Leary. And when it comes to airplanes, it also takes little to weigh the load and to take away space in the cabin. Therefore the CEO no longer intends to tolerate that the baggage exceeds the allowed dimensions of 40x20x25 cm and the maximum weight of 10 kg. Already now Ryanair pays an incentive of about 1,5 € to the employees who identify irregular lug…
