People are going to be hammered at check-in with no choice but to pay and extra 80-100 euros each way. Boycott Aer Lingus and Ryanair, tell your freinds and family not to book any flights in protest for the next 2 months, if enough people do this they will have to make some changes.

I don't think you'll gain much support for a boycott
