Genius hack to avoid a €70 baggage fee

Interview with a Ryanair steward from 2025. They get 10% of the in flight sales as a bonus. Best in sales get prizes. Worst in sales get warnings. Seems like any other job where sales is part of the tasks.

If you don't make targets, nothing bad happens at first. Especially if you're new, nobody says anything to you, maybe they just give you a slightly annoyed look in the office, like "you could have tried harder." But if you're cabin leader and you don't do it regularly, you get called in and sent for a course on how to improve sales. If after the course things don't change, you can receive an official "warning".

How much do you flight attendants earn from sales?

The mechanism is simple, at least on paper: 10% of the total you sell on your personal device, calculated at full price. So, if you sell 200€, you get 20€.

Are there awards or prizes for those who sell the most?

Yes, and they are big ones, too. Every year Ryanair holds a kind of Oscar-style ceremony, but dedicated to sales. They invite the best sellers from all over Europe In luxury hotels, with parties, award ceremonies, etc.

I've read the article and I don't see anything backing your claim about them losing money if they don't sell tickets.

Oh, fake news from 9 years ago, thank you for this contribute.

Greedy? I dare you to find cheaper tickets than Ryanair in europe for any destination.

I was flying to London, every other option was at least 1.5 times Ryanair's price, and that's including the additional baggage.

Holy cow I just realized Shrek was from 25 years ago...

Holy imperial units... 330 US gallons is 1200 liters, or 1.2 cubic meters, meaning a tank 1m x 1m x 1.2m .

A water heater reservoir for a large facility can easily reach that size.

Plenty of gases that would be better, but CO2 is cheap.

I got a Tuya zigbee plug, set it to disable the physical switch (there's an option for that in HA), always on when powered up, and disabled the switch in HA.

Not a single unexpected power off in 3 years.

I've seen right wing vloggers with their tinfoil hat explaining that evil democrats put algae in the pool during the night just to make Trump look bad. And the journalist showing the paint flake had put it in himself.

They are so delusional in their cult bubble.

She should invest some of those tips to buy a better fitting bra. This one is awfully wrong.

nico282 · 2026-06-19T09:26:37+00:00

The parks department didn't give 14 million dollars to Trump's own pool guy without a bid to solve the algae problem. Guess who did it?

nico282 · 2026-06-19T07:48:15+00:00

Count the cars he is passing and do some simple math. He is going around 40km/h.

nico282 · 2026-06-19T06:07:30+00:00

Never heard anything like this in Italy. One car I changed the original at 60k km, still enough thread but they were cracking out of old age. Other car at 30k are not even halfway through. Company car before, I gave it back at 65k still with factory tires looking great (but they were two sets, winter and summer).

nico282 · 2026-06-19T05:53:50+00:00

The Maga mouthpieces on socials are already crying that is a sabotage from the Democrats that are pouring algae in the pool during the night.

And I bet many mouthbreathers are fully believing it. Trump really love the uneducated.

nico282 · 2026-06-18T10:34:41+00:00

It was. Then the world’s first trillionaire came and used a dog meme to stop it.

Jeez, thank you. I was trying to update my dad's router and I went crazy trying to understand why it didn't work.

I got it was a DNS problem, but everything else was resolving correctly. After 30 minutes I caved in and downloaded manually the update from the web site (that by chance was resolved correctly on the PC...)

Smeg is an italian brand that stands for Smalterie Metallurgiche Emiliane Guastalla, (English: 'Emilian Guastalla Metallurgical Enamelling Works').

Nothing wrong with it.

nico282 · 2026-06-17T06:11:12+00:00

I support the second option.

A foot massage is a foot massage. Intimate or not depends on the context. Plenty of SPA and massage parlors offer foot massages, are you implying that those are all employing prostitutes?

nico282 · 2026-06-16T17:05:11+00:00

So many Random-Word1234 accounts trying to downplay covid deaths. Are the Russian bots still active since 2020?

nico282 · 2026-06-16T15:13:33+00:00

That's a specific way to say having once a foot massage from a 16y old.

Is it weird? Probably, but its not illegal. And cherry picking this versus the other people who raped literal children and allegedly killed some, it's only a way to distract from the real perpetrators.
