TUI and Ryanair Expand Free Cabin Baggage Allowances for Families

The upgrades give families extra pushchair and car seat allowances ahead of forthcoming EU baggage standards.

Overview

  • TUI passengers aged two and over can bring one 10 kg hand luggage item (55×40×20 cm), one personal item (40×30×20 cm) and two pieces of infant equipment free of charge.
  • Ryanair travellers may carry one small under-seat bag (40×20×25 cm) plus two carry-on baby gear items per child without fees, with charges for larger or additional bags.
  • On TUI flights pushchairs and car seats can be checked in free of charge or carried onboard if they meet the 10 kg weight and size limits.
  • Both carriers rolled out expanded allowances to secure a competitive advantage ahead of EU plans to standardize cabin baggage rules.
  • Travellers and luggage makers are adopting ultra-compact packing strategies to comply with new size and weight limits and avoid extra fees.
