Avoid Hidden Fees: A Comprehensive Guide to Ryanair's Cabin Luggage Requirements
Are you planning a trip with Ryanair? Don't get caught off guard by unexpected luggage fees.
Baage offers a comprehensive guide to help you understand the airline's cabin luggage requirements.
We'll provide you with information on luggage sizes, dimensions, and restrictions, so you can pack with confidence and avoid hidden fees.
Cabin luggage authorized by Ryanair
For example, depending on your ticket, Ryanair allows 1 or 2 pieces of cabin luggage weighing a maximum of 10 kg, with a size limit of 40 cm x 25 cm x 20 cm.
Non-priority customers can purchase a 10kg piece of luggage at the airport for €45.99, so it's important to plan ahead and book your luggage early.
If you happen to arrive at the airport with an unexpected luggage piece, Ryanair allows you to place it in the hold as long as it adheres to the airline's size restrictions of 55 cm x 40 cm x 20 cm. However, this will incur an extra charge of €12.99 to €35.99, which varies depending on the itinerary and travel dates, and the fee is non-refundable.
For non-priority customers who did not purchase extra baggage during their booking, they can buy a 10kg piece of luggage at the airport's baggage drop-off counter or at the gate for €45.99. Therefore, it is advisable to plan ahead and book luggage early to avoid paying more.
As a comparison, other airlines such as AirFrance limit their suitcase weight & dimensions policy to 23kg on hold, Lufthansa to 32kg on hold, Transavia to
55cm x 35cm x 25cm, Vueling to 10kg for cabin luggage, and Iberia to 23kg on hold.
Priority solution and cabin baggage
yanair provides a "priority" solution for cabin baggage that allows you to bring two items measuring 40cm x 25cm x 20cm on board, one under the seat in front of you and the other in the overhead storage compartments.
These suitcases must not exceed 10 kg in weight, and paying an additional €6 for this option can be a good investment if you want to bring more items at a lower cost.
Alternatively, if you plan ahead, you can also choose to declare a 10kg piece of luggage as hold luggage with dimensions of 50cm x 40cm x 20cm for a flat fee of €8.
This piece of luggage will be stowed in the hold and can be collected from the baggage carousel upon arrival.
