Where do these gutter press newspapers get their info from. I have never paid 120 euros for my luggage.
Everything he says is to get publicity. 

Same old, same old.  Didn't we discuss the weight thing only a few weeks ago?  They do not have any plans to do this.

Such a deceitful headline for this article too "Ryanair: charges for carry-on baggage 'inevitable' " when you read in the main article "At some time in the future I think it's likely that airlines will charge for carry-on bags but I can't get my head round how you would do it. I think it's unlikely that we will do it – until I can see what's in it for us," Mr O'Leary said.

So no plans for charging for carry on bags and no plans to charge passengers by weight.  One checked 15kg bag into Reus from Bristol in August is £50 for the return trip.  The huge charges quoted in the article are for checking a bag in at the airport, something that they warn you will be very expensive.

Incidentally, I have just been checking flights for my son to fly out here from Bristol on Saturday 17th August for a week and Ryanair (to Reus) want £148.17 return, inc one 15kg hold bag.  Easyjet (to Barcelona) want £265.98 inc one 20kg hold bag.

He explained why he didn't think that he would do it.  What about the other airlines?  Are you bothered about them doing it, or is it just Ryanair that shouldn't?

For sure Ryanair are doing things right, probably the best value airline in the world. Its because he is a "business man"
that as soon as he figures out that it is to his advantage to charge for cabin baggage he will charge.  As to why people knock O,leary take a look at the pic in the article, there is a clue there.

Pondgirl,  That is a photo of him at his best! 

You must be a riot at parties   

And here's another great picture
