Regarding baggage allowance:

Can anyone say if it is leala to deny the ticket holder a full baggage allowance? RYR stipulate that buying an extra seat (empty) does not allow the ticket holder to use the baggage alowance if the seat remains empty. It also says that groups, i.e. families, can not pool luggage. If daddy has paid for all the tickets he should be able to claim the total baggage allowance. It is possible/necessary to purchase a seat for a musical instrument; so why not also be able to have the baggage allowance. YOU HAVE PAID FOR IT! I believe ej do the same. Has anyone tested the legality of this?
Interesting point about the new/old RYR allowance. When the charge was introduced, and the baggage allownace increased plus the overal reduction in fares, it was claimed that paasengers would be better or no worse off. If the allowance is now reduced and excess charges made for baggage upto 20kgs, I suspect the opposite will be true.

Flying lawyer please.
