It looks like Ryanair's Michael O'Leary is softening us up for the introduction of fees for cabin luggage. He was recently quoted in the press as saying that charges for carry on luggage are inevitable.
From the Telegraph
Michael O’Leary was asked whether Ryanair might follow budget carrier Wizz Air, which last year began charging passengers £9 to place larger cabin bags in the overhead lockers.
“It’s unlikely in the short term but it’s probably inevitable,” said Mr O’Leary. “At some time in the future I think it’s likely that airlines will charge for carry-on bags but I can’t get my head round how you would do it. I think it’s unlikely that we will do it – until I can see what’s in it for us.”
Mr O’Leary believed airlines would try to exploit carry-on bags as a “new revenue stream” but said trying to charge passengers at the boarding gate would disrupt Ryanair’s 25-minute turnaround times.
