A mini suitcase is hand luggage or also known as 'Carry on'. There is a reason why people like to take hand luggage on board as they like to keep valuable items close to their persons and avoid the stupidly long wait at the other end.
What I was highlighting is that they are very strict trying to get that 60euro to generate ancillary revenue due to the fact the flight makes no money on seat sales..... So Alcohol and charging bags at the gate is where the profit comes from and so a word of warning
Interestingly though that on the flip side what happens on a full flight and with everyone taking hand luggage to avoid the silly baggage fee's and or waiting for 1hr 25mins the other end to collect your bag means everyone pretty much takes the bag on board. What happens is the people getting on last have no room to put their bag in a over head locker. The bag gets tagged for free and put in the hold.
So my brother got charged but if he had got on last then it would have been put in the hold for free.
A wicked web they weave
true that and exactly the reason why i always board the plane as one of the last passengers.
