The National Association of Travel Agencies (ANAV) has commended a recent decision by the Judicial Court of the District of Braga, Portugal, which ruled against Ryanair for charging passengers additional fees for carrying cabin bags. ANAV sees this as a violation of consumer rights and highlights its ongoing efforts to address what it deems as abusive practices by Ryanair in Portugal.

Carrying a normal backpack and a small handbag should be included on every flight, but I can see a case for charging for those huge trollies that some pax insist on bringing into the cabin, or rather banning them from the cabin, forcing them into the hold, at the normal cost.

They take up too much space in the bins.

Yeah, I love being able to save money by only taking my backpack. There's not room for everyone to use the overhead lockers so it makes sense for those of us who don't need to to save money.

This isn't a law to protect consumers it's to protect the air travel market from budget suppliers offering people the services they actually want.
