Below is the latest policy regarding Ryanair baggage: your Ryanair cabin bag size and checked baggage.

• NEW You can now pay €/£8 to carry a bag weighing no more than 10kg in the cabin. However, you need to do this at Ryanair check-in and not at the airport.

• Priority & 2 Cabin Bags tickets or Plus/Flexi/Family tickets are allowed to bring a 10kg (no bigger than 55cm x 40cm x 20 cm) bag onboard as well as a small bag. • Priority boarding can be bought via the website or the Ryanair app and costs an extra €/£8.

• A 20kg bag costs €/£40 to add after ticket purchase, bags are charged per person and are one-way. Fees can be higher depending on certain times and peak periods. This facility can also be used for bulkier items such as bikes.
