Volaris cabin bags

[Kiltrash]

Had the pleasure of travelling Volaris LCC from Mexico City through Guadalajara to San Francisco
while at the gate I remarked to Mrs K that passengers seemed to have a lot of large cabin bags
eventually a gate announcement in Spainish which we did not understand but I got the gist where a lot of people with said large bags formed a queue and had these bags tagged to go into the hold (for free) freeing up space in the over heads
I assumed these are people who have a large ish bag but did not want to pay the $25 USD per case for proper hold cases
would it not be better to , as Ryan scare do, charge for large cases taken off the passengers at the gate ?. I feel cheated as we had 2 full price cases in the hold..

They will learn. Someone will finally work out what they are losing. However, it also depends on what their competition are doing. Ryan have reached a point of dominance that, whilst changes cause headlines - they tend to be positive financially.

Don’t be fooled. Many look at the size of bags and think “they are too big” when in actual fact it isn’t. Rightly or wrongly, the IATA sized dimensions are very generous.
