On: Ryanair – when every page is a dark pattern

[kranke155]

Priority gives you 1 small bag and 1 cabin bag. I pay just so I can take a cabin bag.

Fun fact: if you book priority, but then only take a backpack on the plane, they won't let you put it in the overhead compartment.

True, and they can be very rude about it ;(

But do you try your hardest to be first onto the plane?!

Sometimes, if only because recently, Ryanair has "overbooked" for their actual cabin bag capacity, forcing you to place your bag below deck if you're one of the last ones.

I find the whole thing despicable, but the behavior is rational (according to the rules Ryanair set up, at least).
