Blame the wheel of misfortune.
A Ryanair passenger was incensed after getting forced to fork over a $60 baggage fee because a wheel was poking out of the size checker.
“I thought she was joking,” Elizabeth Keenan, 31, told Jam Press of the “ridiculous” penalty, which she incurred while traveling from Dublin, Ireland to London, UK aboard the budget carrier.
“I couldn’t believe she was saying it was too big,” said Keenan (pictured), who was informed that she’d have to pay a £50 fine ($64). Jam Press/elizabethexplores.com
The Dublin native, who had paid nearly $16 for priority boarding, said she specifically bought her roller board suitcase because she knew it fell within the airline’s 40 x 20 x 25 centimeters specifications.
However, while waiting to board, a Ryanair employee pulled her out of line and asked her to place it in the measuring box.
