Ryanair Staff Offered €80 Bonuses For Spotting Oversized Bags
Ryanair is introducing new staff incentives to crack down on passengers breaking its baggage rules.
The policy is part of a broader push by Ryanair to enforce space restrictions and maintain profitability, with passengers facing fines of up to €75 for oversized hand luggage.
Company CEO Michael O’Leary said the incentive aims to ensure fairness and space efficiency onboard, as stricter enforcement keeps turnaround times short and flights on schedule.
The move comes amid ongoing pressure from EU officials who are calling for more uniform and lenient carry-on baggage regulations across airlines.
Despite criticism from some travellers, Ryanair has stood by its policy, pointing to low fares and quick boarding as priorities for its model.
Should airlines be allowed to charge so much for hand luggage?
