With W6 if you turned up with large cabin bag (and haven't paid for it), they charged you no matter what, FR won't charge you
I flew FR last week, and on the BP it said it was changing. It just shows my interpretation is probably the same as many others and the way most of the press have picked it
up eg they're not saying that Ryanair basically now have a free hold bags policy...
They obviously want it to be interpreted the way I have. To get your bag you need to pay for this priority.
In practice, there is no way they will want to manage 100+ cabin bags into the hold just before departure and thats a lot of bags to carry down to the aircraft, those LHR T1 style bag shoots are long gone at airports!!! I would imagine they will continue with the 90 bags, counting priority first and tag the rest as they do now.
