Ryanair Eyes Bonus Boost for Oversized Luggage Sniffers

Budget airline Ryanair is considering increasing the bonus paid to staff who identify oversized luggage, as part of efforts to combat excess baggage fees. The airline currently pays around €1.50 per bag for these instances, with a cap of about €80 per month. This move aims to incentivize staff to be more vigilant in detecting and reporting oversized luggage, which can be brought on board for an additional fee.
