Ryan Air is a well known discount airlines in Europe. They had lots of other ways to make money, and they have very severe restrictions on carry on luggage. When we were boarding the plane in Chania, they made everyone put their bag in this box and if it did not fit, they had to pay or not take the bag. We amused ourselves for about an hour watching people pound with fists, using their feet and sitting on their bags to get them to fit in this box, so they could take it as a carry on bag for no charge. It was amazing how they could squeeze those bags into the box and sometimes they had more trouble getting then out of the box.
The other ways Ryan Air has to make money are; choosing a seat, checking a bag, food on board, gifts on board, lottery tickets on board (2 Euros each or 6 for 10 Euros), advertising on the overhead bins, extra insurance, talking to them on the phone rather than the Internet, and printing a boarding pass for you. But the plane tickets are very cheap and Ryan Air is very popular.
