Ryanair Carry On Bag Policy

Hey there, travel buddy! Let's chat about something that's super important when you're flying with Ryanair - their carry-on bag policy. Don't worry, I won't bore you with a load of jargon, we'll keep it fun and easy to understand, yeah?

So, what's the deal with Ryanair's carry-on bag policy?

First things first, Ryanair has a two-bag rule. That's right, you can bring two bags on board with you. But here's the catch - only one of those bags can be a wheelie or a backpack. The other one has to be a small bag that can fit under the seat in front of you. Think of it like Goldilocks - not too big, not too small, just right!

Now, let's talk sizes. The wheelie or backpack should be no bigger than 55cm x 40cm x 20cm (that's about the size of a small suitcase). And the small bag should be no bigger than 35cm x 20cm x 20cm (that's about the size of a handbag or a small laptop bag).

What can I pack in my carry-on bags?

Great question! Here are a few things you can pack:

  • Clothes (obviously, right?)
  • Toiletries (but remember, liquids need to be in containers no bigger than 100ml each and they all need to fit in a clear, plastic bag)
  • Books, magazines, or your Kindle
  • Snacks (because airplane food, am I right?)

But here's what you can't pack:

  • Anything sharp or pointy (sorry, no swords or ninja stars)
  • Liquids over 100ml (even if you're a super thirsty person)
  • Explosives (I hope this one's a no-brainer)

And remember, if you're bringing any electrical items, make sure they're in your hand luggage and that you've got the correct chargers. You don't want to be that person who's desperately asking for a charger at the gate!

What if my bag is too big?

Don't panic! If your bag is too big, you've got a couple of options. You can either:

  • Check it in as hold luggage (this will cost you, so make sure it's worth it)
  • Buy a Priority & 2 Cabin Bags ticket (this lets you bring two bigger bags on board)

But listen, the best way to avoid any drama at the gate is to measure your bag before you head to the airport. Trust me, you don't want to be that person holding up the queue while you try to squeeze your bag into the size checker!

Any other tips?

Yep, here are a few more things to keep in mind:

  • If you're bringing a laptop or a camera, make sure they're in your hand luggage. You don't want them getting damaged in the hold.
  • If you're bringing any medication, make sure you keep it in your hand luggage. You never know when you might need it.
  • And finally, if you're not sure about something, check Ryanair's website. They've got a really handy 'Bag Booster' tool that can help you work out exactly what you can bring on board.

So, there you have it!

Ryanair's carry-on bag policy might seem a bit confusing at first, but it's actually pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it. Just remember the two-bag rule, measure your bags before you head to the airport, and you'll be flying high in no time!

And hey, if all else fails, you can always treat yourself to a cheeky upgrade to Priority & 2 Cabin Bags. After all, who doesn't love a bit of extra luggage space? Happy travels, my friend!
