What is Ryanair's baggage allowance policy?

Asked 2 years ago
Ryanair's baggage allowance policy is structured to accommodate a variety of travel needs while promoting efficiency and offering cost-effective options. Passengers are typically permitted to bring one small cabin bag on board, with dimensions not exceeding 40 cm x 20 cm x 25 cm. This bag must be able to fit under the seat in front of you. Some passengers choose to purchase an upgraded option known as Priority Boarding. This allows the passenger to bring a larger cabin bag, weighing up to ten kilograms, as well as the smaller cabin bag mentioned earlier. For those needing to check in luggage, Ryanair offers different checked baggage options. Passengers can choose to purchase checked baggage allowances in increments of ten kilograms or twenty kilograms. The maximum weight limit for any checked bag is twenty-three kilograms, and fees vary depending on the route and whether the baggage is added online or at the airport. It is important to note that passengers should also be mindful of Ryanair's policies regarding prohibited items. Certain items, such as sharp objects and flammable materials, are not allowed in either cabin or checked baggage. Additionally, some specific size and weight restrictions apply to sports equipment and musical instruments, which may require prior arrangements. To ensure compliance with the latest regulations and any changes in policies, travelers are encouraged to check Ryanair's official website for the most current baggage information. This will provide detailed guidance on allowances, fees, and any questions regarding special baggage needs.
