Ryanair will change its £65 baggage charge rule to give staff more money for catching oversized bags.

Passengers with big bags must pay €75 extra.

The change could give workers €3.50 for each passenger they catch. This was raised from €1.50 in November 2025. The new bonus is higher. The bonus was changed recently.

O'Leary said the number of big bags is decreasing. He said it is going from 0.0001 to 0.00001. The number is very small.

As the numbers fall, the commission rate may increase from €2.50 to €3.50. The rate may go up. The change will happen soon.

O'Leary warned passengers not to bring big bags or they will be charged.

All fares include a small personal bag that fits under the seat.

Cabin bags can be bought and must fit in the overhead locker.

Last year, O'Leary said 200,000 passengers are charged extra for big carry-on luggage each year.

The CEO said Ryanair has the lowest air fares in Europe.

O'Leary said passengers should follow the rules and they won't have problems. Most passengers follow the rules. The rules are clear.

If passengers follow the bag rules, everyone will board faster and there will be fewer delays.

The CEO suggested that airport bars should stop serving alcohol in the morning.

Airport bars don't follow the same rules as other bars.

O'Leary said changing this would help his airline by reducing aggressive behavior on flights.
