Tit in the office
Discussion
Afternoon.
I know Ryanair get a lot of stick - wrongly so in my opinion, if you follow their rules its a cheap flight. If you book a seat / bag buy a meal yes it costs more than the ticket but it's still cheap. Cheaper than a train in most cases.
Anyhow, tit in the office has complained to Ryanair about his flight experience back from Europe.
Basically he wanted to check in his hand luggage on the way back upon arrival at the airport. Of course Ryanair said there would be a charge. His point was Ryanair will have to put some bags in the hold anyway (full flight) so he is doing them a favour by offering his bags upfront for free check in.They refused.
I pointed out why would / should he get free checked in bags on arrival and not at the gate where they usually ask for bags to be offered voluntarily. He says 'because I have a toddler and its difficult to manage her and have bags to carry in the airport (and Ryanair should be sympathetic to that whilst he waits for his flight). 'And we paid hundreds of pounds as it was July'.
So, he's using that as a basis for complaint to Ryanair. I now get hard stares for not being sympathetic to his plight.
Am I missing something here??

His point it they enforce or ignore the rules as they see fit and he is absolutely spot on about that.
I gave up on them long ago, after they took the piss too many times.
Not really, hes effectively asking for luggage concierge for free whilst he browses the airport lounge with his toddler free of the inconvenience of baggage and trying to twist Ryanair's policy to suit himself. I gave up on them long ago, after they took the piss too many times.
