We got conned 10 years ago in the same scenario with our bag using Ryan Air. Like you the persons in front bag was the same size as ours but theirs went through and it cost us £50. Even the passengers behind us complained on our behalf but they still charged us. They are robbing buggers... it was the one and only time we used them.... Lesson learnt.. Happy Christmas to you both, we're in Correlajo at the end of March

It obviously doesn't fit, you can see it right there! You shouldn't care about other people, you bag is too big and you are warned countless of times that that could lead to a fine.. The real scam here is trying to sneak in the plane with oversized luggage while other people abide by the rules and pay for it like you should

I used to work with Ryanair, you know what you’re paying for, read the small print on your boarding card, it explains everything, not saying this was you but I used to hate people who would expect a BA or KLM quality service for a £20 ticket. And if you don’t like em, don’t fly with em, simple as, but good luck trying to find the ticket for a cheaper price consistently, they know most people will come back. Cabin crew are commissioned for what they sell on board. But gate staff are not, but if found to let a charge go then get the fine themselves

They have I agree. I've booked with Easyjet coming out from Gatwick in March, prices weren't to bad with a bag in the hold, I've paid more or less the same as my friends who are flying out the same day from Leeds on Ryanair. Fares and add ons are ridiculous really, but I haven't and won't fly with that airline again.

Flew from East Mdlands just a day before you leaving Fuerte, and they checked our bags as well which were slightly oversized but still allowed us on without any charge. On the way back they didn't check though. When flying from Birmingham past few years to Fuerte, before this christmas, they never used to check! Seems like they are more strict with the regulations as more people flying after the pandemic.

Flew RA back in May this year (2023). Birmingham to Faro return on package with On The Beach. Hotel great, transfers on time etc, airline poor. Charged me £71.00 for pre-allocated seat both ways. Plus £55.00 for a boarding pass at BHX, issued by Swiss Port. Then the boarding pass wouldn't work in the RA check-in machine, weighting plate not big enough for my hold luggage case. When attempting to use the w/machine I heard a RA staff member waive the charge, I'd just paid 5 minutes before, for a couple checking-in without boarding passes. Also rude check-in staff member. Check-in staff double standards. Ryan Air NEVER again. Lesson learned! I fly JET2 usually, have done since they started and never had a problem. JET2 in a different class to RA. Don't understand how RA survive.

I use Ryanair a lot and I think they state the prices and rules very clearly when booking. And to be honest so have never had a problem with them in 30 years!! The service on main carriers nowadays is no better than Ryanair at least and short haul flights and easyjet.. no difference really and if these is you pay more for their flights. If you want 5 star service travel business class. The prices are cheaper than uk trains most of the time and you probably don’t moan about those. You have to accept what you pay for… which is very little for a European flight. A few years ago people your age would be hitchhiking or going by rails. Unfortunately these are too many younger people nowadays who think they are entitled to a lot more than they have money for.

Yes Fue airport is bad for trying to charge extra for bags. I must have got lucky but I always take a backpack and it stays on my back so they can't see it, it's also 30 litre and have done this a few times and got away with it. I always board last so they are usually not bothered by then. The mistake you made was not using a backpack so they can see the size of your bag.

Ryanair is breaking new passenger records every year, mainly because most people know that Ryanair works on an add-on system meaning that they would go bankrupt if they would only charge for flights. Ryanair depends on these baggage surcharges bur you can easily avoid them by just abiding by the rules they make clear during booking and at the airport. In fact, they warn you multiple times that bags that are too large are subject to a fine. Most people actually inform themselves and know exactly what they're getting and these people are very happy with Ryanair and their services.

Before going off on rants you should remember that it's thanks to Ryanair more than most that flight prices reduced so much. It's MUCH cheaper now that it was 20 plus years ago. No, I am not a fan of Ryanair per se, but I am not blind to the positives. Accept that you get what you pay for and should be aware of that before flying.

It does say your bag should fit in the bag size gauge easily. Doesn’t say it can sit on the top and then go in with a push or you jumping on it 😂. Glad they brought in the rule it stops it getting ridiculously over loaded in the cabin. To be fair you can’t complain when a flight costs about £20. Not sure how they can they even afford to run and staff a plane for the price. It costs more to fill your car. Enjoy your holiday back in England
