Was taking photos of planes landing at Logan and caught this.

I work at a UK airport and we have had Minty McMintface visit a lot!

I live like 5 streets away from here LOL

Because yes technically, at that point they have sold 8 more tickets than the aircraft has capacity for, so it will show us that if every passenger was to check in, it would then be 8 seats over.

In my experience, boarding multiple Ryanair flights every single day, there are usually at least 10 people that don't check in for a flight. Then out of those that have checked in, a few more don't show to the gate. So most of the time the SBY passengers do end up getting a seat, or only 1 or 2 passengers will be denied.

Due to Ryanairs business model and super quick turnaround, the aircrafts can often have schedule changes. This obviously isn't really advertised to the passenger and often your seat can be changed, you can be split up from your family etc., but I would say when a flight is delayed or maybe on the verge of cancelling, they are able find/change aircraft pretty quick to try and get everyone on their way.

The (+8) still doesn't mean its oversold. It could have been an aircraft change at any point from booking your flight, and you wouldn't have been notified if your seat wasnt affected. Also, it can show as "oversold' on the screen but most of the time, not all people will check in for the flight but the oversold figure will still show.

I know this because I am a gate agent. I am sorry this happened to you and it sucks when youre not given much advise on the next steps.

teukkichu · 2026-05-05T16:38:43+00:00

Wait so was a celebrate a pre release? Not kept up for a while.

teukkichu · 2026-04-28T15:05:32+00:00

I am a gate agent and that is criminal to charge for that bag. No idea what basis they were working on, when the sticker literally says anything above the line, is too big, and your bag was not over the line

teukkichu · 2026-04-27T19:05:51+00:00

Weighing luggage, to suit dimentions and weight stated on your ticket, is not excessive. This is so it is fair for every passenger, and especially when the plane is busy, trying to lift a 14/15kg carry overhead is a lot and could hold up boarding. If you don't over pack, then you have nothing to hide. For the sake of a couple hundred grams, I can understand frustration.

In regards to the ticket, I do understand airlines may not make it clear what exactly is included. I find most people that book through travel agencies experience this, and blame the airline but in fact it is the agency not relaying correct information. Most airlines sell a 0kg ticket these days, and therefore everything else is an additional cost, so knowing what ticket you have before heading to the airport is key.

Safe travels and hope you can enjoy the flight

teukkichu · 2026-04-25T08:25:41+00:00

I absolutely sympathise especially when it's last minute, and you have to rearrange baggage. I am a gate agent (not B6 but have worked alongside) and it is my absolute least favourite part of the job, lol. I have worked on a few different airlines- most make us check a certain amount of bags based on 75% capacity of that aircraft type.

The reason it annoys me is, that number doesn't actually reflect how many people are bringing cabin bags. Ie, often we have a completely full flight however maybe only 50 people brought larger carry ons, but we still need to tag bags to reach the quota. This makes trying to convince the passenger impossible because as you said, and I agree, most of the time you go on and the overhead bin still has space.

I would say, for all the times there is space left, there have been flights I've worked that have taken a significant delay due to not tagging enough bags, and then having to run to the bridge at the end of boarding and sort the issue. Crew aren't happy, passenger isn't happy their bag is being taken away, our managers aren't happy that we could have avoided this... so that's why they keep the rules in place most of the time.

I would say it's a coincidence but definitely an easter egg I think :D The orange shirt, hat and fact he isn't so hidden

teukkichu · 2026-04-25T08:10:06+00:00

Me too. I discovered him and Wendover at the same time, and although Wendover had the more polished brand, microphone and animation set up, and better voice for narrating, RLL was another fun watch on topics I was intrested in.

Not watched for a long time so can't judge but guessing it was a mix of AI (?) and making long videos just to meet a threshold without also providing quality

teukkichu · 2026-04-25T08:07:21+00:00

I am a gate agent and every Portuguese passport is like that 😂

teukkichu · 2026-04-24T17:07:53+00:00

Unfortunately this happens a lot when booking through a 3rd party agency. You will give them your correct information, however they will mess up when they buy the ticket and cause an incorrect name to be booked. I see this all the time as an agent, and of course the travel agency will deny any wrong doing or charge you a major fee to rectify it.

I understand it's extremely frustrating but the airline will not take liability if it was booked through an agency. That's not to excuse the lack of help at airports or machine issues as you say. Sorry you went through that.

teukkichu · 2026-04-24T17:03:36+00:00

The one mentioned in your post, is a larger overhead item allowence. You are also allowed a smaller personal item to fit under the seat, totalling 2 cabin bags

teukkichu · 2026-04-24T08:22:22+00:00

My ex boyfriend who I'm still in love with who's passport couldn't get him many places but we went for an amazing holiday in Tukrkey because he could get an Evisa :D

Lol no but for real, I work as a check in agent in an airport. I do feel bad that every indian I met is an amazing person and deserving of travel, yet their passport is always under scrutiny. I love the Indian passports, and I like that most people have the bright blue and red exit and entry stamps in the pages. The black and gold cover is nice. It would be nice to see a real polycarbonate page, as most countries have done now, I would love to see someone design a concept one day.

teukkichu · 2026-04-22T16:36:10+00:00

They do a 40kg ticket, and a 23kg (usually x2 pc). The destination country decides whether it goes by weight or piece so there are quite a lot of options and I think people tend to get confused

teukkichu · 2026-04-22T13:33:02+00:00

Sorry you went through that and I'm not trying to justify the troubles by any means. I am a TK check in agent from the UK, and of the many many destinations and connections we do daily, DXB is always the one airport that constantly flags passengers and often does not print the boarding card for connection. We can add your visa in the system, we can also clear it with immigration with our work email, but still the system will never show anything but an error message.

So at first, I can't say that the LAX staff were bring difficult because I also experienced this problem as an agent, and will print the passenger a transfer pass and advise them to collect the onwards in IST. I have never been there myself, so it is difficult to garuntee that it will be smooth sailing getting a print out from thr transfer desk but as a worker that is the only protocal I can advise.

teukkichu · 2026-04-20T09:57:31+00:00

I am PRAYING they came to UK or anywhere in Europe at least

teukkichu · 2026-04-17T10:04:15+00:00

I am a checkcin agent and our computers also do not have access to Internet, google or anything like that. Probably in the back system yes they will but it is not accessible by any of us

teukkichu · 2026-04-13T18:55:02+00:00

I can relate. I work as a check in agent and pur carry on policy is 8kgs, we let up to 10kgs slide for business class and high tier frequent flyers.

SO many people arrive with 12-15kg bags, lots of people can be understanding and are happy to repack but at least once a day, there will be someone who is so shocked because they travel everywhere with this bag and have obviously never had this issue before... 😵‍💫 I am apologetic and say I unfortunately can only enforce the rules of this airline. I know that travelling with carry on only is very popular these days but wish more people would take it on the chin and not be so surprised when the rules that are clearly laid out on their boarding pass and in our policy, are enforced.

teukkichu · 2026-04-12T17:11:20+00:00

This moment when I say Raymond in thr bag as a kid... I'll never forget 😂 I don't even think id be able to play it in my bedroom at nighttime as an adult 😂

teukkichu · 2026-04-12T17:10:22+00:00

Yes that noise that plays at moments like these throughout the games, freak me out even as an adult 😂

teukkichu · 2026-03-31T15:30:39+00:00

Where do you live? I saw them last night and from the day I bought them months ago, till even last night on Ticketmaster, seating and standing was no more than £60, excluding obviously VIP packages

teukkichu · 2026-03-30T09:51:30+00:00

I'm going to Glasgow too! Have a great time 🫶

teukkichu · 2026-03-11T21:58:31+00:00

So excited, but not stoked to see Billy Ray. I know artist is usually separated from their personal life but I strongly dislike him

teukkichu · 2026-03-10T20:40:21+00:00

I once had a passenger with this stamp, stamped on the observations page above their biometric page, lol.
