Ryanair chief Michael O’Leary criticises new EU rules on cabin baggage pricing, arguing they will mislead passengers and affect how airlines present fares. Multiple reports describe his comments as directed at what he calls confusing or “gobbledygook” requirements, which he says will increase the likelihood that advertised prices rise once baggage options are accounted for. The criticism is framed as a concern that the new system will be more bureaucratic and less transparent for travellers, potentially making it harder for customers to understand the total cost of flying with a carry-on item. The reports also note his warning that the rules could change passenger decision-making by shifting costs into additional charges related to cabin luggage. While the articles highlight O’Leary’s perspective, they do not provide detailed responses from EU regulators or rival airlines in the material provided. The overall thrust across sources is that the EU’s cabin baggage pricing changes are expected to alter fare presentation and passenger clarity, according to O’Leary’s assessment.
