00:00Michael O'Leary, you are going to crack down on people who take two big pieces of cabin baggage.

00:07Even one big piece of cabin baggage?

00:08What I mean is a piece of cabin baggage is too big.

00:11So what's happening?

00:12We're desperately trying to get that last 0.1% of a percent.

00:1599.9% of Ryanair passengers comply with the bag rules, no issues.

00:19That 0.1% we need to get rid of them, we need to get rid of those big bags.

00:23Everybody has to play by the rules and then there'll be no issues.

00:26But we are going to continue to catch more people because our staff at the gates, we're incentivising them now.

00:33They get paid €1.50 for any oversized bag they find.

00:37We're going to increase that to €2.50 from probably November, mainly because they're finding less and less oversized bags

00:43because more and more people are complying with the rules.

00:45And the more we can do that and eliminate that, the faster the boarding will be, the quicker the turnarounds will be

00:51and the more efficient overall Ryanair will be.

00:53And we'll keep passing on those efficiencies in the form of low fares.
