Ryanair is known for its sometimes sassy replies to social media comments but one of the latest responses was savage. The budget airline took on a customer who attempted to avoid baggage fee charges.
After journalist Bobbi Hadgraft took to Twitter to share a 'tongue in cheek' travel 'hack' to get round paying for any of the extra luggage charges, the airline, which had been tagged into the post hit back with a ruthless response.
Ryanair imposes a charge if passengers want to bring anything other than a small bag onto a flight, which currently stands at anything from £6 to £59.99 depending upon the size of luggage. Something that many travellers often try to avoid, wrote the Daily Star.

Bobbi posted a photograph of a pair of black cargo trousers which were covered with tiny pockets on the front of the garment. Alongside the picture was the caption: "Wearing these trousers next time I travel @Ryanair". It didn't take long for the views to rack up and among the responses to the post was one form the airline.
The airline included a screenshot of the designer trousers from MJB (Marc Jacques Burton) that were listed for a whopping £1,280 on the website. It wrote simply: "'£1,280?' Just pay for a bag, Bobbi."
However, Bobbi felt the purchase of the trousers would make a good "investment". Adding: "Currently have 15 flights booked on the app. This would be an investment."
Left in stitches at the savage exchange, many people wanted to add their comments. One person chuckled: "It's an investment." Another user sneered: "Cheaper than paying all of your hidden fees to be fair."
While a third mocked: "Get to the airport 5 months early to get through security by the time they've searched your pockets and all." Someone else giggled: "Hope I'm not behind you in security when they ask you to empty all your pockets."
