Anyone ever had their checked bags measured at check-in?

Ryanair happens all the time. Busy times they have a box on a stick and they walk around with it and place it over the carry on cases. Doesn’t fit pay 60 euro

Ryanair sound like a nightmare to fly with.

Yes, I’ve had my checked bags measured at check-in before. It was during a flight with a budget airline, and they had a strict weight limit. They actually used a scale to weigh my bag before allowing me to check it in. I ended up having to take a few items out to avoid paying extra fees. It was a bit of a hassle, but at least I was prepared for it.

Japan airlines are notorious for measuring anything that looks oversized.

I've had them do this to a 9'8" surfboard bag and was a bit worried but I think it's more just to manage the loading. It was within weight restrictions so they had no issues.

Ryanair gets all the bad wraps but I reckon its better then Easyjet & Wizz.
