These fees are flies.
The traveler claims he was charged about $63 to bring a water bottle on her flight.
Ruby Flanagan was attacked by an extra escape when taking a Ryanair flight from Dublin. She said she would share her story with the mirror..
She claimed that budget airlines have a “reputation for their ridiculous extra charges,” but was shocked that she became a “victim” due to the large bottle of water.
Flanagan himself has given her a “small” bag for flights and has chosen to travel for a short trip with a backpack (which she used to travel multiple times). I said I had booked it.
Her round-trip ticket initially only cost about $45.
She packed her bag tightly, tied a 750ml metal water bottle to the strap and sat in her seat without any problems, reaching the gate at Stansted Airport.
But three days later, it wasn't.
When Flanagan tries to board Ryanair's flight from Dublin, she is told that her water bottle must be zipped into her bag, which fits in a metal box built to represent the anchorage She said she was told that she was approved by staff who needed to see.
“I was one of several other passengers who were pulled aside from the Ryanair crew and desperately trying to re-pull it,” she said.
“After moving some bits and pushing the bottle, my bag had a huge, growing chunk in the top right corner, as I tried my best to keep the zip closed.”
Unfortunately, this time the backpack overpacked by Ryanair staff has not been approved and Flanagan was told he had to pay to get the bag on his flight.
“Turned in the statement, I asked them why I wasn't holding the bottle in my hand, as I did on my outgoing flight,” she said.
“In response, I was told that the water bottle needs to fit in the bag. Otherwise it would be classified as “second bag”, but this is not permitted on my ticket. yeah. ”
Flanagan claimed to have “see the passengers in a laptop, burger king bag and other backpack holding a travel pillow pass without hinting,” to add to her frustration and confusion. .
However, Flanagan and others were charged extra despite claiming that they flew in one direction on the same thing and were totally OK.

“Each argument consisted of many hand flames, many eye rolls, and the word “dimension” that was repeated over and over again. Who waving us so badly,” she said.
The airline “officially closed the gates” as the debate continued that caused Flanagan to enter a “state of panic” as he has never missed a flight before.
She was told, “You have to pay either way… out and it's the second bag and the bag is too big, so you have to pay.”
When the plane was set to depart in minutes, Flanagan ended up shuffling to the staff with the card reader being defeated. She paid $63 more than she paid for the round-trip ticket.
She later said it was cheaper to throw away the water bottle and buy a new one, but “it would have been ridiculously environmentally- and out of satisfaction that it was over a million plastic bottles.” He said he would have been stolen. The water was saved from the landfill by replenishment.”
Flanagan filed a complaint with Ryanair, which was quickly denied.
Ryanair defended the accusation to the mirror. “This passenger booked a basic fare ticket for this flight from Dublin to Stansted (February 4th).
“This passenger tried to board on an additional carry-on. It would not fit in the permitted bag and had to pay the standard gate bag fee (60 euros). Once payment was made, this passenger would be able to do so. I traveled on this flight from Dublin to Stansted (February 4th).
Additional baggage can be purchased at a low price while booking tickets.
Flanagan is not the first passenger to be stuck at an additional charge for what he believes is a “silly” situation.
Ryanair passengers were furious after being forced to use a fork with baggage fees as the wheels were coming out of the size checker.
And another woman recently claimed that her brother was tragically killed before her trip and was forced to pay for the cancellation for her sister Ryanair's flight.
