New rules for hand luggage Ryanair

10.01.2018

Please note: New rules for hand luggage Ryanair will be introduced from Monday 15 January ⚠️✈️

All air passengers who have a Ryanair flight from Monday 15 January and have not booked any priority will only be allowed to enter the cabin with a small handbag while the suitcases have to be delivered before boarding the aircraft. It is therefore only possible from that date for passengers who pay at least 5 euros extra per journey to take their suitcases on board.

But contrary to what many write, the hand luggage is still free of charge under the new rules, only he has to be given to the baggage hold.

The news of the change in the hand luggage policy should not come as a surprise to travelers as it was announced months ago by the Irish low cost airline.

According to Ryanair itself, this measure is necessary because it turned out that allowing two pieces of luggage to all passengers was abused because people took too much luggage with them. However, there is also criticism because Ryanair is accused of too little control on the hand baggage and the compliance or non-compliance with the rules, while in general it is believed that the airline is only to make the extra money.
