Ryanair introduces larger free cabin bag size across all airports
Ryanair
has completed the rollout of larger baggage sizers at all 235 airports in its
European network. From today, every passenger may carry one free cabin bag
measuring up to 40 x 30 x 20 cm – an increase of one third compared with the EU
standard size of 40 x 30 x 15 cm.
What
passengers can bring on board
The
free bag must fit under the seat in front. Passengers who wish to carry a
second cabin bag can do so by purchasing Ryanair’s Priority Boarding service.
Checked luggage remains available as an add-on during booking.
Adjusted
sizers at all airports
New
baggage sizers have been installed at every Ryanair airport to reflect the
larger allowance. This ensures consistent measurement of the free item across
the airline’s entire network.
Statement
from Ryanair
Ryanair’s
Chief Marketing Officer Dara Brady said:
“As
of today, Ryanair’s free cabin bag is 33% larger than the EU standard. We have
adjusted our baggage sizers at all airports to measure this new size.
Passengers who wish to carry a second cabin bag can add Priority Boarding, and
checked bags remain available at booking. We believe our customers will
appreciate this more generous allowance, but travellers exceeding the limits
will still be required to pay the gate-checked baggage fee.”
