OT Diatribe . . .
I actually don't think "rollaboards" should be allowed either (or at least the large ones that everyone seems to have). Get rid of the maximum size "rollaboards" that everyone seems to carry, boarding will be far more efficient and I wouldn't feel the need to rush onto the plane 30 minutes early when Zone 1 is called.
(While I would not advocate traveling on RyanAir, they've figured out that big rollaboards are not worth the trouble)
