A Ryanair passenger was recently left shocked after she was charged €60/£50 by the no-frills airline to take a 750ml water bottle on a plane Ryanair says that the sizers measure ‘42cm x 20cm x 30cm’. The airline’s rules state that: 'If your small bag does not fit in the baggage sizers, which are placed at every boarding gate, we will tag your bag and place it in the aircraft hold subject to the payment of a gate bag fee.’ As the airline’s rules state that each passenger can only bring 'one small item' onboard the plane, the gate staff likely considered the water bottle a separate additional item. This means that passengers can legitimately be charged the excess baggage fee by Ryanair if an extra item, such as a water bottle in a carrier, doesn’t fit in their underseat bag.
