Baggage staff get 50p bonus for each piece of Ryanair hand luggage that won’t fit
15 November 2011Airport workers are being paid bonuses to crack down on travellers with bulky hand luggage.
Ryanair passengers are among those who could face particularly eagle-eyed attention as a result, but other budget airlines are thought to use similar tactics.
Airlines often have contracts giving companies that provide check-in staff a financial incentive to detect passengers with excess baggage.
But yesterday it emerged that the firm providing baggage services for Ryanair at Liverpool John Lennon Airport is passing a cut directly to workers.
