Ryanair baggage plans

RYANAIR plans to stop passengers actually checking in baggage next year but says it will allow two or more pieces of carry-on luggage, as it steps up its drive to reduce airport handling costs.  From the beginning of October Ryanair expects to abolish conventional check-in facilities forcing all passengers to do so before leaving home or office.  There is an opinion that this discriminates against people who for one reason or another cannot use a computer.  Assuming it is allowable by the airport the travellers will need to lag their hold baggage to the aircraft including the descent to the apron.  According to Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary his anti-luggage policy is working, only 30% of Ryanair passengers placing baggage for the hold, compared with 80% two years ago. www.ryanair.com
