, ‘In order to save on the flight fare, Galvares had made a reservation for a ticket with Ryanair, a low-cost airline, and headed to the boarding gate with one carry-on bag. However, airline staff in front of the gate stopped him from boarding, claiming that his bag exceeded the size regulations.’,
