Ryanair has completed the rollout of its bigger carry-on bag sizers at its 235 airports across Europe, the airline announced on Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From September 4, all Ryanair passengers can now bring a bigger, free personal bag up to 40 x 30 x 20cm, which is 33% bigger than the EU standard free carry-on bag of 40 x 30 x 15 cm.<\/p>\n
Ryanair allows each passenger to bring 1 free carry-on bag on board, but these bags must be capable of fitting under each passenger\u2019s seat. Should passengers wish to bring an extra carry-on bag, they can do so by purchasing Ryanair\u2019s Priority Boarding service, the airline said.<\/p>\n
Spaking on the change, Ryanair\u2019s CMO, Dara Brady said: \u201cFrom today. Ryanair\u2019s new, bigger free carry-on bag is now 33% larger than the EU standard. Our bag sizers at all airports have now been \u201cresized\u201d to accommodate this bigger, free carry-on bag.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“All passengers wishing to bring a second carry bag can do so by availing of our Priority Boarding service, and passengers can also purchase check-in bags, should they so wish, during their booking process.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We hope our customers will enjoy these bigger, free carry-on bag sizes, but any passenger who fails to comply with these new generous limits, will be required to pay the checked in bag fee at the boarding gate.\u201d<\/p>\n
The EU has been working with airlines to agree on a minimum free bag size, so that travellers can purchase one piece of luggage knowing it would be accepted by multiple airlines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ryanair has completed the rollout of its bigger carry-on bag sizers at its 235 airports across Europe, the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":43176,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[4488,79,18,19,17],"class_list":{"0":"post-43175","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-irish-examiner-instagram","9":"tag-business","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43175"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43175\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
