Ryanair Raises Free Under-Seat Bag Dimensions and Introduces Tiered Fees

The airline’s 40x30x20cm allowance will roll out in the coming weeks with all A4E carriers set to adopt uniform EU baggage standards by season’s end.

Overview

  • Ryanair expands its complimentary cabin bag from 40×25×20cm to 40×30×20cm, with airport bag sizers updated in the coming weeks.
  • Travelers can purchase priority packages costing £6 to £36 to include a larger cabin bag in their booking.
  • Gate checks for oversized carry-on items will incur a £60 fee, while adding a larger cabin bag at the gate will cost £75.
  • Airlines for Europe confirms that all member carriers will implement the new EU-aligned baggage rule by the end of the 2025 summer season and may still allow extra personal items at their discretion.
  • The changes follow EU draft regulations and recent court decisions in Spain and Italy challenging extra hand luggage fees to streamline rules for passengers.
