And lastly, as the carriers are trying to push NO hold bags, and maximise carry on, the usual contents of hold bags, ie electrical, hair driers, aerosols, etc, etc, will be subject to longer search procedures. I can no longer carry my nail clippers, or similar items in my carry on, and I certainly dont want a hold bag for one item.
What is the master plan, please.
With Ryanair the on-line check in automatically gives you a low sequence number & therefore a better chance of being within the 1st group of pax called to the aircraft, after the families with kids of course.
INET though will cause problems at those airports with FR "bucket'n'spade" flights, because the C/In wont see the pax & lets face it security dont bother weighing baggage you stand a very good chance of getting pax at the gate with bags much heavier than the 10kg advertised, I bet not a lot of airports have scales at the gates for weighing H/Baggage & lets face it Ryanair wont pay for any!!
A bet a load of pax haven't read the T&C's so dont realise that if they turn up at the gate with a bag to big or too heavy to go in the cabin, they are to be offloaded & have no claim for refund or change of flight.
Thankfully we don't envisage many of out DUB pax doing this.
Re the nail clippers there are plans (maybe already in force) to allow certain things to be carried again in H/Baggage, the Yanks have already changed thier policies.
Anyone from LTN or LPL had problems at the gates yet?
