A Spanish court has ruled that Ryanair's policy of charging an extra fee for hand luggage is "abusive" and can no longer be levied in Spain.

The court ordered Ryanair to refund her the €20 plus interest, but rejected her demand for compensation of a further €10 for the suffering she experienced, according to court documents.
The judge characterised the charge as abusive, adding that it "curtailed the rights that the passenger has recognised by law", and declared it invalid in Spain.
