Ryanair goes too far {Walletpop UK}
Jun 27th 2009 3:13AM Wow, what a very unsocial commenting system... no links back to websites and no ability to provide links relevant to the article. There is a 2 minute video you can watch about fitting everything you need into your hand luggage with Ryan air (that I had previously included, but isn't being shown) on irishpolyglot dot com. Go to the site map and you'll see it. I use it all the time and it works (I brought 50kg with me when moving to Prague using these techniques and some others!)
Ryanair goes too far {Walletpop UK}
Jun 27th 2009 3:10AM An easy solution that I apply all the time with Ryanair is to simply take everything in your hand luggage. I move house a lot and believe it or not, I do it all with Ryanair.
I commend their attempts to get prices down; Ryanair is perfect for budget travellers going somewhere for a few days who don't need to take their whole wardrobe with them. If you just take hand luggage Ryanair is really simple (print your ticket in advance, go straight through security as soon as you arrive in the airport, and go straight to the airport exit as soon as your plane lands). If you have to have an "uncomfortable" flight for an hour or two, so be it, although I've found Ryanair staff to be surprisingly chirpy for all my flights, and the seats and everything are FINE. There are plenty of other airlines that do better but have you pay for it. Ryanair's business model is great; they are one of the only airlines actually doing well in this recession, because of ideas like this. They aren't losing my business any time soon...
List of things an airline can get rid of {Gadling}
Oct 27th 2008 10:48AM Sorry for the comment about Nick - I copied this comment over from the link to my video on the other article on this site. Whoops!! :-P
Great list :) I keep trying to cut down on my weight that I keep forgetting the airline certainly contributes in their own ways...

Oct 27th 2008 10:22AM Thanks again for the reference to my video! :)
You can even tuck clothes into your back; I've done this when they wouldn't fit in my bag. It's an uncomfortable 10 minutes in the security line (I don't actually put everything in my pockets etc. until I'm at the airport), but it all comes out once I'm through. I also bring plastic bags to dump everything into and the air stewardesses presume I went crazy with duty free shopping ;)
Just to prove a point that you really can bring whatever you like, I flew home with dumbbells this year (in my jacket pocket), and I made it through no problem! If I had put everything in my bags that would have been over 35kg, and I went through with no checked luggage! Aaah loopholes :-P
Nick, take a chill pill! I'd be open to criticism of course, but just calling me a twat is childish.
I'll be making much more videos like this on my blog: http://www.irishpolyglot.com in a few languages. Subscribe (RSS or email) if you want to see more!
