Flying within Europe on Aer Lingus? You will now have to pay for your full size carry on. There are numerous options. You can still bring on a small personal item, and I mean small, for free...13 x 10 x 8"
These new rules do not affect flights across the ocean.

EasyJet introduced a similar charge last year, unfortunately. I guess the airlines have lost so much money that they need to claw as much back as possible.
The dimensions 13x10x8 are almost a cube - like a hatbox from the 1940’s. Is there any personal carry-on manufactured that has those dimensions? A purse or small bag might fall inside the limits, but what actually would beet all three?
Flying is getting more add-on costs all the time. My sube the charges have always been there, just included with the airfare. As the advertised fare goes down, incidental prices up up. At least they haven’t made them pay toilets, yet.

As long as one does fill it to capacity, a bag like this ---
--- could/should do the job.
The good news, for now, is that for those connecting from/to a trans-Atlantic flight the carry on bag is still free.
