    We were travelling with ryanair. I saw the baggage checker and gave my partner, who was carrying our 6 month old baby, a ‘you sure the bag fits’ look. We were maybe four back in the queue but the checker saw and practically began salivating. Holding his little card machine he gleefully asked us to put our obviously undersized bag in the hole. The greedy little fascist was clearly disappointed he missed out on his £1 bonus.

    I thought the size of carry on luggage was checked at check in before boarding. It was the last time I flew.

      No they hang around the gate like vultures with credit card machines. At that point there’s nothing you can do except pay. This explains all the dickwaddery that’s been going on in the last few years. We call them ThievyJet.
