Austin Price, 28, had to pay extra for his luggage despite buying priority for a Ryanair flight from Bristol to Krakow.
Austin Price accused Ryanair staff of ‘trying too much’ A Ryanair passenger lost £75 from their holiday spending money after falling foul of the airline’s ‘if it fits, it flies’ measuring stand. Austin Price, 28, was flying from Bristol Airport to Krakow, Poland, this month when he was asked to place is suitcase in the stand before boarding. He’d flown with it before and was adamant it fit, but a ‘rather rude’ Ryanair employee told him he would have to pay because it was too big.
‘My suitcase was the size that fit in the gap and I have a photo of it sitting in, but because the wheels area a bit stiff it wouldn’t sit flat because of the weight of the wheels. ‘The wheels are not the size of the suitcase. I said it clearly fits in but he said that I have to pay. ‘I thought it was only going to be around £28 as it is on their website and I thought ‘that’s annoying but I’ll take the hit, gave my bank details and all of a sudden I got charged £75.
