Took a flight from Naples, Italy to Bucharest, Ro. All O.K. On the return I checked in on line and got two seats in the middle not together. No way to change. No way to change at the airport. Was told to work it out with the other passengers. At baggage check my Samsonite carry-on was weighed at 9.5kg and deemed ok. When the flight was called we were forced to put the carry-ons in an undersized frame checker. Much smaller than the overhead bins on the 737. Although the bag fit nicely in the 737-400 inbound, they would have no part of letting me keep my bag filled with delicate purchases and my PC. 55 Euros or no go. The wheels prevented entry. They would not accept the credit card used to buy the ticket. They wanted cash Euros only (not ROM) and was told I would have to go and get Euros. I fortunately had 110 Euros on me for emergencies. They did not tell me this at check in when I weighed the bag and could have put the carry-on in my big not full bag that was more than 10kg under the weight limit. All designed to rob clients. Some people without the money were crying. Some like me vowed to never fly Blue Air again. If you have no alternative, better not take a normal carry-on because it will be taken from you and you will pay 55 Euro. This is not like typical practice for carry-ons on small plans where you get the bag as you deplane. Nope your carry-on will arrive by the normal baggage system.
