In the post, which has been viewed more than five million times, he included a photo of his bag in the Ryanair bag sizer
n a second post in the thread, he added: ‘I have now submitted a complaint to Ryanair.
‘When I finally boarded the flight last night – after paying the £75 “fine” – I received a round of applause from my fellow passengers.
‘However the experience was truly appalling. The fact that a Swissport check-in agent in a Grinch sweater could deliberately cause such mayhem, delay the boarding of the already delayed flight, call for police intervention and require my wife and I to wait right to the end of the boarding process under police supervision is reprehensible.
‘And, so far, despite over 50,000 views of this post, not a single word of response from Ryanair.’
Ryanair’s bag policy allows passengers to bring one small bag onboard for free which must fit under the seat in front of them
