Overview
- Ryanair told customers in a social-media post that passengers do not look cool wearing sunglasses on board, presenting it as a playful nudge rather than an instruction.
- The message featured a photo of Tom Cruise as Top Gun’s Maverick to land the joke and boost engagement.
- Comments from holidaymakers quickly shifted to complaints about boarding from the front and large carry-on bags that fill overhead bins and slow both loading and exit.
- UK outlets amplified the exchange and made clear there is no change to cabin rules about sunglasses.
- Reports also referenced Ryanair’s recently highlighted list of prohibited luggage items, including firearms, placing the post within wider pre-summer chatter about travel dos and don’ts.
