Woman Claims Priority Passengers Were Handpicked By Ryanair For Extra Fees: “It’s Scandalous”

There’s a particular kind of stress that only hits when you’re at the airport. There’s the frantic rush through security, the obsessive checking (and re-checking) of your documents, and the sky-high prices on snacks that make you think twice before grabbing anything. And, of course, the sheer number of people everywhere.

Naturally, you want everything to go as smoothly as possible. So nothing throws you off balance quite like being told—just as you’re about to board—that your perfectly packed bag is suddenly too big and you’ll have to pay up.

That’s exactly what happened to one woman on a recent Ryanair flight. Despite buying a suitcase that matched the airline’s size requirements, she was still pulled aside and charged. Frustrated, she took to Threads to call them out—and she didn’t hold back.
