I dont think Ryanair dumped Fue because as soon as the got the money they were owed they came back. As for 10kg I think its plenty for most trips. Its worth looking around for a light case as some of them can be a bit on the heavy side and limit the amount of stuff you can take. I bought one in Argos and have used it a lot and to my suprise everything on it still works.

Problem Solved:  I´ve done what I should have done a long time ago. Dumped Ryanair. What started out as a flight from Fuerte to Madrid for €17.50, ended up not much cheaper than Air Europa.
Less hassle and stress. No Ryanair gestapo waiting to pounce on you at the airport, Nice relaxing departure from Fuerte.  A few euros more, but well worth it. Goodbye Ryanair, you lost my custom forever. :-*

Is this the answer?

I'm surprised that the company makes the item so distinctive, so that gate staff can spot it - but what then? Could they rustle up a little known rule about non-permitted garments?

I`m not surprised that anyone who contemplates, even for one second, wearing a thing like that laughs out loud. and dribbles, licks windows, pulls clumps of their hair out and still wets the bed. Ten kilos hand luggage is more than enough for anyone, people who start in with"Oh but the missus...." need to apply a bit of common sense to packing. I`m sure that most people who can`t manage are just thrown into a blind panic when it comes to having to make a decision about what needs to be taken and what might just be a "nice to have". Plus the snobbery that seems to exist in some circles, you know the type of person who in the old days would load up the biggest case they could find and then boast about how much the took and never wore. And wrt the case weight mentioned in another thread, one of the heaviest is F.R.`s touted wheelie. The lightest are the Cabinmax type.
Mentor to the boneheads.

I'll come and keep you protected Kat, how long was it again, six months might need to book the 20kg option, if that's not too extravagant ;) ;)

Kat Nuts

Yes that's right Ronnie - 6 months  ;D

Clothes etc went in the case, laptop and other electricals went in the hand luggage and all my work tools went in the RUFUS ROO!

And LOL again!   :P

So who is "Legally" in the right here ? It seems that they are both quoting the regulations to support their separate cases and promote their own interests ? - http://www.tumbit.com/news/articles/6697-ryanair-luggage-policy-saftey-not-revenue.html

I made my own "Smugglers jacket"


I  saw Michael O Leary being interviewed about the Rufus Roo jackets and decided to put it to the test with an old ski jacket which I had sewn a large zip into just for fun. Well Michael had no problem with them. :D

As well as my cabin luggage I had a fairly large holdall which was full of clothes, bottle of water, sandwiches, small toiletries, laptop etc with me. I took the items out of the bag in full view of the staff at the departure gate, just to be bold, and proceeded to pack the jackets lining up and then neatly folded the other bag and put it in my cabin bag. Of course the staff had to say something about it. "Excuse me Madam, but you have rather a lot of luggage in your jacket" one member of staff said. "Oh yes, I know", I replied, "but dont worry I checked with the airline before I packed and all is in accordance with  Ryanairs rules". The look I got was priceless. When I boarded the plane I unpacked the jackets contents and put them back into the holdall and put it between my feet.  :D

I know Danny, :D :-*

Its very handy having a zip in the lining....if you are a bit overweight you can just stuff your jacket. No more extra charges. :D
