Thank you so much Robert. It would be a much nicer flight experience if they just increased their prices, rather than trying to sting everyone booking Priority out of 90€ and gave such unfriendly customer service.
Spanish want you into there country as quickly as possible to spend plenty of money of course there was no Q last time I was in Palma airport 12.30 midnight there was not a sinner to be found
Used Ryanair when we went to Italy in June - have to admit it wasn't that bad but we took very small hand luggage as I had heard how OTT they can be! Wouldn't be my airline of choice they seem to keep coming up with ways to extract more money from passengers. Coming to Mallorca next month with Jet 2 which might be a bit better we will see. Informative video as usual👍
We find flying with BA much easier. With all the adds on with Ryanair it doesn't work out much difference in price. The quality of service is so much better with BA. ❤
I wish they flew to Bristol from here. I used to fly from Newcastle with them, but the service was stopped when easyJet flew the route. They were fab. Even got a drink and snack!
@@MallorcaUnderTheSunyes you get a snack and drink without having to pay for it. No speedy boarding or paying for your seat onboard. 23kgs is standard for check in baggage. It's so much more civilised. 🙏
We always fly to Mallorca now with BA from Gatwick or go to Heathrow if we have to. Sick of Easyjet treating you like cattle and by the time you ad on luggage ect they are normally more expensive. As for Ryanair I would stay at home rather than fly with them anywhere.
If something goes wrong BA are the worst Airline that fly from the UK by a country mile. Great crews, but behind the scenes the customer service is appalling
Alex we have used Ryanair 4 times this year because they are the only ones that fly from Prestwick which is only 10 minutes away.I can honestly say never any problem’s and only one short delay at Barcelona which was caused by the incoming aircraft from France,as the plane had to be changed due to the incoming plane going back to Prestwick for scheduled maintenance.Our schools have been back for 3 weeks so availability less now in Scotland but some good prices about if you can travel anytime
I boycotted Ryanair 10 years ago customer service is non existent, they cheated me out of £200. I hate airports and air travel now at 78, it’s too much but I need to do it sometimes.
On another UA-cam channel the advice was if you think your bag maybe too big then don’t go to your gate till their boarding. The staff will be to busy the to check. Also don’t try your bag in the checker near your gate, check near another airlines gate.
Got to be honest we fly ryanair all the time 4 times a year,never been stopped to check weight or bag size apart from many years ago when they first started
Thanks for this video, followed you from the MacMaster videos. This has been a very useful video since my wife, 2 sisters and mum fly on Ryanair on Monday
We fly to acludia pins in a week. My little 16 month olds first holiday abroad, we always wait for schools to go back. Airports in the school holidays must be a nightmare!
Thank you for sharing the video and the new changes what are due to come out for next year I will keep a eye out for more of your videos and content keep up the great work
Omg don't talk utter rubbish bloody chem trails. ermmm bad weather people stay in nice weather folk go out and SPEND money which means money into the economy! Now let me think which the government would like us to do? Oh yes I know they would like us to go out and Spend Money 😊
So basically follow the T&C’s and you’ll have no issues. They serve a purpose for cheap air travel. If you want to bring luggage, then there are other options which may work out cheaper, but that’s the choice you have. Quite simple really bring a bag that’s the size they’ve stated you can bring.
@@danielmosey6203 couldn’t agree more. But rather you didn’t state the obvious. The rule breakers actually subsidise the rule followers so I hope they keep breaking and Ryanair keep charging!!
Great video, thanks, l had the same problem with Ryanair and their con with the 10kg cases, like your friend l had used the same case for the last 6 years, 3 or 4 flights a year,l caused a right stink and the passengers in the non priority queue were backing me up, shouting con!! As a little protest we purchased nothing on board, 2 couples, normally 2 wine each, toasty each, and the same coming back plus 400 cigarettes on the return trip, it did make me feel better lol. We book a lot of holidays with Love holidays and you get an option to fly with different airlines, we always change if it comes up with Ryanair, plus when you check in on line you'll find you have the basic fare,no 10kg no seat no priority so another £100 per couple
Wouldn’t fly Ryanair even if was free.Flown most airlines over the years and many from my closest Bristol and like other comments on here never ever had my bag placed in a sizer.All airlines have recently changed their size of bag you can take on board so if you used that bag last year it may not be accepted this year. 1 mm is bs it’s a money grabbing ploy by a scumbag company imo.
Hope you had a nice break with the family, another very informative video.Thanks for explaining about what is going to happen next year! Have to say ridiculous rules over baggage from Ryanair...you could not write it lol!.I am off on 14th Sept to Menorca i hope the weather improves.I am sure with all your expertise with explaing everything it won`t seem too daunting on future travels x
I fly fairly regularly between UK & Spain usually with Vueling but sometimes with Ryanair. Vueling have been very good up to now anyway but Ryanair are well known for checking hand luggage sizes and anyone who travels via Malaga airport will have seen the Ryanair bag size “frames” that are always used at the boarding gates. They seem to be the only airline that does this and are always looking to make extra money on flights wherever they can. You may remember when O’Leary threatened to charge for using the toilets during the flight & im sure he would have standing room only if he thought he could get away with it!
Happened to me at Exeter airport both times and I had to pay 39 pounds and they put it in the hold { it was within their specifications} Hard backed case too . ' jobs worth' that was . . The other time was actually with one of their own under the seat bags ! Its just utterly 'ridiculous and just another way to get more money out of people and naff all to do with 'Safety issues'
Flew with Ryan air for the 1st time recently to palma with no problems at all people fly, cheap and expect luxury and if they were that bad their flights wouldn't be full personaly I think people are the problem.!
It’s all money making excuses. My friend recently flew with Ryan air and their online check in wasn’t working, so they charged them £50 each to check in at the desk! Thank you for the information!
I just flew out of Belfast international with this new security, absolute nightmare, 3 and a half hours get to check in and get through security walked round to the gate and boarded the plane, usless, and will never fly with ryanair again, had the same issue with a small cabin bag but gate agent was adamant she was trying to charge me £60 , of came the wheels, no doubt on the fit then
Storms the same time as last year when I was there!!, I have different bags and luggage depending on which airline I travel with better to buy that once than run the risk of having to risk paying extra.
Alicante spring, a Ryanair and an Easyjet boarding gate next to each other and Easyjet passengers were furious they were getting charged for slightly larger bags while our Ryanair boarding next to them let everyone on without any problem. Had trouble with Ez many times and if it's a choice of Ry whom we've never had a problem with or Ez, i'll use Ry everytime.
I've included a couple of Ryanair hand luggage suggestions here in my Amazon holiday shop: www.amazon.co.uk/shop/mallorcaunderthesun/. Also check the rules regarding cancelled flights here ua-cam.com/video/Ulaj9P3W8Z0/v-deo.html
We got ripped off with easy jet as well , we had the right size hand luggage according to their web sight , but they refused it and we had to pay the extra . ,!
I’ve had never any probs with EasyJet yet, but I am already dreading the stress for my upcoming flight to Palma…just in case they too have decided to become sneaky exhortinists
Hi, love u our videos, they have helped us loads on our travels. We were sailing before the storm and had to turn back to attempt to avoid it and hastily return to port. We were waiting at the fuel dock in Andratx for the storm to pass before we were able dock in our tight space. We may have seen your flight doing a tight manoeuvre over our heads, possibly avoiding the storm, heading for Palma. Might this have been your flight about 3.30/4pm?
newcastle and leeds have these new rules in place. whatnoa good is you fmget take as many 100ml bottles as you want....dont have to squeeze them in that tiny plastic bag and you can also leave your electronics in ypur luggage! We have yaken advantage of this twice this year. its great!
I just flew from Helsinki to Palma on 13 August and back two weeks later. There was no checking of passports at Palma airport on arrival. You get off the plane and walk straight to the baggage reclaim area and out of the building. Couldn't be simpler!
Looks like you took the uk weather back with you Alex. Thank you for pointing out all the benefits of Brexit. Getting treated like a criminal if your 1mm oversized is crazy. Travelling to Spain from outside the EU is getting harder. Still, some people voted for this unfortunately and they are going to have to put up with these changes and fingerprints taken, etc.etc. happy that you made it back to the 🌞🌞🌞😂
LOL, yes, can't believe people voted for this! Aside from the daylight robbery too. And being searched. The fun of flying now Glyn! Can't wait for my next trip!

mixed tbh David - so problem with wind noise if i don't put the dead cat on, which then looks like i'm sporting a guinea pig on my shirt. And then i lost sound last night on the live. Accidentally turn on voice isolation and it sounds robotic. The jury's out on this one! (I keep my cheapo lav mic for back up! )
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun guinea pig lol 😁 Ahhhh no option to plug a lav mic straight into the transmitter ☹️ Have you tried putting the transmitter inside your tshirt with the magnet on the outside?
QUESTION - My friend and I are getting a connecting flight from Mallorca to Ibiza next week. Do you need to go through passport control en route to the other flight???
There are some airport that come down hard on luggage sizes, because these handling agents get a commission on the fines they hand out. Spain is taking legal action against handling agents in Spain doing this theft.
I wonder if gate staff get an incentive depending on how much extra luggage revenue they charge?? Is it a Bristol airport thing? Poor training by Ryanair allowing their staff to quote false information regarding the safety 1mm reason!
@@maxinecorbett take your TIE card - the restrictions don't apply to residents. However, I'm not sure how it will affect us coming back to Spain, where we queue. Let's see.
Is there anything special we should be doing when we go to mallorca and get a taxi from the airport? Dont want to be stung by any dodgy taxis so how do we know its going to be a good taxi? is there an official area we should stick to when getting a taxi?
I've flown Ryanair loads of times from Newcastle, Alicante, Palma, Bergamo, Edinburgh and never once had bother with a carry on case. And how do they even measure 1mm?? If you mean 1cm over, well your 1cm over so you have to pay
The new rules you said about getting your finger prints and photo might be coming in 2025 ,does that include the eurostar train or is it just airways, good video again 🎉
Well thst proves , follow the money, they will do anything to rip of people , ots disgusting, all about getting uscto put money in their already rich pockets. Standbup for yourself and squish your bag as Much as possible
@MallorcaUnderTheSun not exactly. They'd changed to a smaller plane with less seats but decided that because we'd not paid extra for allocated seats that it would be OK to bump us off the flight. Never again.
All these things people go through with Ryanair and yet they still travel with them, after all the fines and excess charges you may as well go with another airline
Totally ridiculous thing to say about the 1mm luggage safety. I would of probably questioned the person that came out with that statement and then withdrawn myself from flying with them on that particular day and in the future. It sounds drastic I know, but being dictated to in that manner...I simply wouldn't put up with it. I always endeavour to fly with EasyJet where possible and would probably postpone my trip if they weren't available.
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun It leaves a bad taste in the mouth when Airline representatives start being silly , but I understand your point about affordability and would of thought twice about it myself. Obviously the majority of winter flights are cheaper, so it can be a different ball game then. Sometimes you have to look at whether Airlines are borderline bullies ....in certain cases It looks that way. Keep going Alex , you make great videos and it's always appreciated. 👍
Thanks, Alex! 1mm oversize is not a safety issue, it's a profiteering issue. Looking forward to navigating the new EU entry requirements in November. It will be chaos! The biometrics scanning has to be completed at the point of entry, so that's a nightmare in itself. Well done Brexiteers. We must enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!
Retired pilot here - 1mm over on baggage size is not a safety issue - absolute BS!!
Thank you so much Robert. It would be a much nicer flight experience if they just increased their prices, rather than trying to sting everyone booking Priority out of 90€ and gave such unfriendly customer service.

@@carl6227 if everyone’s bag was 1mm more they would all still fit.
Profits profits profits that is the motive and Staff are given incentives to increase their bonus.
Ridiculous situation with the luggage. 😂 Great to warn passengers. 👍
It's ironic isn't it..1mm over and it's a safety issue ..Pay another £90 however and suddenly the safety issue disappears....funny that! 🤔🤔😄
Same as the ULEZ, LEZ and clean air scams. Pay up and puff it's all gone.
Green is the new Red.
Tyranny in the guise of 'safety' every time.
I was air crew for 22 years! No safety issue at all regarding the bag size being 1mm over 😂
@@Carolina-ws1jc haha brilliant thank you

How long does it normally take to get through security at the airport in Palma in September (off-peak season)?
I just flew from Helsinki to Palma on 13 August and back two weeks later. There was no checking of passports at Palma airport on arrival. You get off the plane and walk straight to the baggage reclaim area and out of the building. Couldn't be simpler!
I think that's because you're in the Schengen area, and passport checks only apply to the 3rd countries like the UK, USA etc.

I still don't understand how they could see that, you would have to have phenomenal eyesight to be able to see a 1mm difference @@MallorcaUnderTheSun
@@britannia079they don’t. This is just misinformation BS.
The new rules you said about getting your finger prints and photo might be coming in 2025 ,does that include the eurostar train or is it just airways, good video again 🎉
Yep Eurostar, Chunnel and ferries.
Yes - this is the EES - entry exit system and happening at ports too
More tyranny, control and oppression from the Marxist overlords. People STILL can't see where all this is going.
Well thst proves , follow the money, they will do anything to rip of people , ots disgusting, all about getting uscto put money in their already rich pockets. Standbup for yourself and squish your bag as
Much as possible
I'm officially Queen of the Squish 😂 but I'm going to get a hard case from now on. I can't bear it tbh.
What I dont understand is why passengers need to get to the departure lounge to get the bags checked why not do that once you arrive?
priority means you can take a small case so not check it in.
Funny how a 'safety issue' miraculously disappears once you've paid them 90€! What an absolute con!
Absolutely pathetic!! I would never travel with Ryan air
Its all about the money.
All airports are too expensive food and drink and Spain to ☀️😎
Hi Alex if all else fails
Three Layers or four Layers of clothes 😂
Awfull thought when you arrive in palma
😂😂😂😂 that is definitely an option !
I'd sooner go on a bus and have a week in Skegness than travel anywhere on Ryanair.
1mm over - a safety issue on a 60+ tonne aeroplane..?!!
Ryanair wanted to deny us boarding because we hadn't paid for an allocated seat !! Will never travel with those crooks again.
Oh my goodness - I wonder if they over sold the flight
@MallorcaUnderTheSun not exactly. They'd changed to a smaller plane with less seats but decided that because we'd not paid extra for allocated seats that it would be OK to bump us off the flight. Never again.
@@shauntoole1553 oh my god !! That’s terrible !
Ryanair should be called Ripoff air
All these things people go through with Ryanair and yet they still travel with them, after all the fines and excess charges you may as well go with another airline
That'll be me then and I never learn lol!
We got a 50ml bottle of water taken off us in arricife
Totally ridiculous thing to say about the 1mm luggage safety.
I would of probably questioned the person that came out with that statement and then withdrawn myself from flying with them on that particular day and in the future. It sounds drastic I know, but being dictated to in that manner...I simply wouldn't put up with it.
I always endeavour to fly with EasyJet where possible and would probably postpone my trip if they weren't available.
I couldn't afford to do that unfortunately. My friend was threatened with being removed from the flight if she complained further!
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun It leaves a bad taste in the mouth when Airline representatives start being silly , but I understand your point about affordability and would of thought twice about it myself. Obviously the majority of winter flights are cheaper, so it can be a different ball game then.
Sometimes you have to look at whether Airlines are borderline bullies ....in certain cases It looks that way.
Keep going Alex , you make great videos and it's always appreciated. 👍
Its an absolute racket, this charging rubbish its all about getting money out of people
Thanks, Alex! 1mm oversize is not a safety issue, it's a profiteering issue. Looking forward to navigating the new EU entry requirements in November. It will be chaos! The biometrics scanning has to be completed at the point of entry, so that's a nightmare in itself. Well done Brexiteers. We must enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!
It's going to be interesting times ahead for travel, that's for sure :(
My airport . 30 mins from me 😂 .
