Its becoming silly over here as people seem to get away with taking anything of any size in the cabin.
They are doing so because it has become so expensive to shove these bags in the hold.
Well if you want to keep it simple, you could just stick to flying Ryanair. One bag, no appendages, stuff in your duty free, no exceptions.
One fleet too, most of Europe covered and now including some "proper" airports too.
Edit: Mr O'Leary did not pay me €10 to write this reply.
