Ryanair rolls out increased carry-on allowance
Ryanair has completed the rollout of bigger carry-on bag sizers at the airports in serves across Europe.
All Ryanair passengers can now bring a bigger, free personal bag (40 x 30 x 20cm), which it says is 33% bigger than the EU standard free carry-on bag (40 x 30 x 15 cm).
Ryanair allows each passenger to bring one free carry-on bag on board, but these bags must be capable of fitting under each seat.
Passengers can bring an extra carry-on bag by purchasing Ryanair’s Priority Boarding service.
The baggage sizers are now installed at more than 200 airports.
Ryanair’s CMO, Dara Brady said: “Our bag sizers at all airports have now been ‘resized’ to accommodate this bigger, free carry-on bag. We hope our customers will enjoy these bigger, free carry-on bag size.”
Passengers who don’t meet the larger bag size limit will be required to pay the checked in bag fee at the boarding gate.
