Ryanairs German Staff

cinderfella

Recently I flew on four Ryanair flights. I know the rules regarding the 10 kg limit on cabin baggage & accept that a couple of kilos over brings basically a fine of €60.
Now being a baby boomer I have found my attitude warming to the Germans over the years. Anyway there I was in Dusseldorf airport watching all the Germans passing through the Ryanair control area without needing to have their wheeled trolleys weighed. In fact not at any time did I see any request for a German passenger to put their hand luggage on the scales over a period of 20 minutes.
Yes, you can guess the rest. My British passport was presented to the desk girl & she asked me to put my littel trolley on the scales. I accept my punishment but seriously consider the incident to be attributed to my passport (& face probably).
Still, we live & continue to learn. Furthermore I always prefer to travel with German passemgers, the British more often than not act like two year olds.:mad:

You should have mentioned to them that your Grandad flew to Dusseldorf many times with work, never landed though.

The Germans even stamped my passport last time I left,
to be sure I'd gone I suppose.

Thats funny! Good heads up. We went Ryanair to Sicily and on the way home my son tried to take back the fishing rod he had bought-he was 7 but they tried to confiscate it. This Scilian woman who had her suitcase and a huge garment carrier and a hat box persuaded them to let her out it in her garment carrier -as there seemed no luggage limits for her-it was nice of her of course!

Pity Uk staff dont cut us any slack. I've watched people take the stuff out their case and put it all one-quite funny to watch.

Change the nationality to Spanish/ Irish/ English/ Moroccan etc and you will find someone with the same story. Of course it would not be a problem if everyone was able to follow simple instructions ...

Or maybe just a cup final.
