My only criticism, is that at the gate the cabin-luggage allowance was not more strictly enforced!
This depends on the airport you go from. I can tell you that at HHN, each and every passenger (!) now has to put his/her bag into the frame and gets a blue 'approved' tag tug onto their bag afterwards. But this is likely HHN trying to make a bit more cash, as it's still losing millions of Euros every year. E.g. STN is much more relaxed, IIRC they just have one of the boarding personal checking the queue for people who really don't care and bring big bags.
