Bonuses to rise for Ryanair staff spotting oversized baggage

Ryanair will raise staff bonuses from £1.50 to £2.50 per oversized bag identified and remove the £80 monthly cap starting November to reduce luggage fee evasion.

  • Ryanair will increase bonuses for staff who catch passengers with oversized carry-on bags, with no cap on the amount they can earn.
  • Michael O'Leary said the airline is not trying to catch people out, but wants passengers to comply with the rules.
  • O'Leary expressed skepticism about the UK's sustainable aviation fuel mandate, saying there is 'not a hope in hell' of meeting the 10% target by 2030.
