Why do Ryanair keep changing their rules?

    Is it all just a profit maximising strategy that relies on customer confusion?


    Soon you'll get to the gate and be told "You didn't enter the airport by the special Ryanair side door & walk under the limbo stick? €500 please or you'll be walking home from Frankfurt Hahn!"

    Money.

    I'm not aware of any recent rule changes though.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    Leviticus 19:34

    I too would like to know what changes they have made to their rules.

    Also can not figure out what the OP is on about. Though I did read some article recently that Ryanair had recently changed its rules on carry on bags that you are not allowed some kind of "smart" bag. Which has chargers or something built into them.

    Have no such bag so did not read the article - only the headline. Could it be this the OP is being vague about?

    Ryanair advice

    "Advice from Ryanair on their website states that a “‘smart bag’ (a bag that contains a lithium battery and can charge items from the USB port) can be carried in the hold as checked-in luggage as long as you remove the lithium battery before handing the bag in at the bag-drop desk or the gate. You must take the battery on the plane with you.”

    It adds: “You can take a ‘smart bag’ on the plane as your item of carry-on baggage. However, you must remove the lithium battery before you put the bag in the overhead locker. The battery must stay with you at all times."

    This means that smart bags where the lithium battery has not been removed are not allowed in checked-in luggage or carry-on baggage, and they cannot be brought through security with them on you."

    Been standard practice in US since late 2021

    “I can’t pay my staff or mortgage with instagram likes”.

    In fairness, there have been a lot of changes to prices. Priority has gone up a lot. Used them a few times this year and it was 40 euro each time even through the fees page says it only goes up to 30 and cheapest price for selecting a seat is 10 on a flight I'm taking in a couple of weeks.

    I can't see anyone posting about it on the Ryanair thread in Consumer Issues. In fact that thread has no activity recently, which may indicate that their service is generally OK.

    Again, don't know what the OP is waffling on about. It's like the annual criticism levelled at SMYTHS TOYS every Christmas for their tv ads.

    I don't think it is fair to complain about prices changing. That would be a regular thing with airlines. And they do react quickly for good or bad to supply and demand.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,218 ✭✭✭Tazz T


    Even though the prices now contradict their own general pricing T&Cs?

    No, not that bit if it is true. This bit:

    "In fairness, there have been a lot of changes to prices."

    I'm not talking about flight pricing - I'm referring specifically to add-on charges that seem to be creeping upwards.
