There are some rules for traveling by plane, which every passenger has to follow. The most important rule in this is related to goods. You should be aware of what items you can keep in the cabin luggage and what not. Also, the weight of the carry-on luggage in the cabin and the weight of check-in baggage is also determined. But in some airlines, the size of the bag is also decided in advance. Recently, a woman traveling from England to Spain was entering the cabin carrying a bag with her, when she was stopped. As soon as the flight attendant saw his bag, he stopped him from going inside. On seeing the bag (Woman bag 2 cm big paid extra money), a fine of Rs 8 thousand was imposed on her! You will be surprised when you know the reason for this.
According to the Mirror website, 45-year-old Catherine Warrilow, a resident of Oxford, England, was going from Stansted to Seville last month. He had booked on Ryanair. He had already paid for priority boarding. Apart from this, she could carry a 10 kg bag and a small bag to keep under the seat in the cabin.

The bag turned out to be 2 cm bigger
But as soon as she was entering the flight, the flight attendant stopped her from entering. He had an objection to the woman’s bag. That was because the size of his bag was 2 centimeters longer than the prescribed size. Catherine took out some items and pulled the strap of her expandable bag to make it smaller. But despite this he was stopped from carrying the bag. A condition was put before them that either they should leave the bag, or they would have to pay Rs 8,000 for carrying the bag.
The company returned the money
He had to pay that money. The same problem arose when she was returning, due to which she paid Rs 3800 more, after which her bag was put in the check-in luggage. In this way he had to pay about Rs 12 thousand just for one bag. However, Catherine later complained about this in the consumer forum, and also sent a mail to the company. After which the company returned their money and said that the employees were only taking steps as per the rules, but as a goodwill gesture they are returning the money.
