Ryanair gets tough on hand baggage

Ryanair says it will charge people who try to carry more than one piece of cabin baggage aboard its flights.

The airline allows passengers to carry one piece of hand baggage weighing up to 10kg, but it claims there has been a big increase in the number of passengers 'abusing' this allowance. Ryanair says one passenger tried to carry five items of hand baggage onboard one aircraft.

From now on, Ryanair passengers who turn up with more than one piece of hand baggage will be charged €30 at the departure gate.
