On April 3, after a six-day family visit, Luana and her seven-year-old daughter Maia were preparing to board their flight from Budapest Airport back to Birmingham. However, the boarding process took an unexpected turn when airline staff requested that Maia’s hardshell suitcase be measured against their hand luggage size restrictions. Despite Ryanair’s website stating that children aged 2 to 11 are allowed one Trunki or “Trunki-style” suitcase—ride-on cases designed for toddlers which can exceed standard size limits—Luana was asked to pay a £55 fee because Maia’s suitcase was deemed too large.
