If, in the near future, you are considering flying with Ryanair, then this article is for those who are interested. Here, we will be talking about the baggage policy of Ryanair.

Cabin Baggage allowance-

Carry-on baggage is luggage that passengers can carry to their seats. If passengers choose the priority and two Ryanair carry-on options, they can bring additional personal bags to their seats. If talking about the ryanair carry on size, the airline allowance for carry-on baggage is:

40x20x25 cm (Length x Width x Height)
55x40x20 cm (Length x Width x Height), and the weight limit is 10kg

Checked Baggage Allowance-

Passengers are permitted to add 10kg of checked baggage to their booking and can also choose a 20kg baggage option if they desire a larger baggage allowance. Up to three pieces of luggage weighing 20kg each can be purchased per booking. You have to drop the baggage at the Ryanair check-in desk before moving towards the security, and they will be carried to the aircraft. The airlines permit the checked baggage allowance of size:

80x120x120 cm, and it should not weigh more than 20kg

Infant Baggage Allowance-

The airlines allow passengers to carry two items per child without paying any fees. Infants up to 23 months old cannot check carry-on baggage. Passengers who are traveling with infants on their lap can bring a baby bag that can weigh up to 5kg. The baggage should not exceed the allowed dimension of 45x35x20 cm.

Excess/Overweight Baggage-

The baggage is checked and then transferred to the aircraft hold after they are approved to be transferred and tagged. They are approved only if the baggage meets the requirements of the baggage. If there is some excess baggage or it weighs more than the permitted limit, then passengers have to pay some extra charges.

  • For excess baggage, passengers must pay 10 USD per kg if they are online and 12 USD at the airport.
