Europe’s biggest budget airline Ryanair<\/a> is increasing its free cabin baggage allowance “over the coming weeks”.<\/p>\n

Currently, the airline’s free ‘personal bag’ size is 40 x 25 x 20cm, but following an agreement among European airlines to adopt a new minimum size for cabin luggage, Ryanair has decided to increase one dimension of the bag size from 25 to 30cm. Soon, the maximum dimensions will change to 40 x 30 x 20cm.<\/p>\n

These dimensions are larger than the newly announced European minimum bag size of 40 x 30 x 15cm but anyone with a ‘Ryanair-compatible’ cabin bag will still be able to use it, reports The Independent<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can bag a bargain now on this handy duffel bag<\/a> that fits the current Ryanair restrictions “perfectly”, and is currently 25% off.<\/p>\n

The Underseat Foldable Travel Duffel Bag<\/a>, from the Narwey Store, is designed to be taken on Ryanair flights without getting caught out by hefty luggage fees – measuring the current 40 x 20 x 25cm luggage limits.<\/p>\n

This handy duffel is designed for Ryanair flights<\/p>\n

The bag<\/a> comes in a range of seven stylish colours – including black, grey, pink, and mint green – which are now available for just \u00a311.99.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Ryanair said: “This change will be implemented over the coming weeks, as our airport bag sizers are adjusted.”<\/p>\n

The EU transport commissioner in Brussels, Adina Valean, and the trade body Airlines for Europe (A4E) has been in discussion about simplifying travel for passengers.<\/p>\n

The new rules mean any traveller who purchases a bag no bigger than 40 x 30 x 15cm will be guaranteed to be able to take it on board.<\/p>\n

Ourania Georgoutsakou, the organisation\u2019s managing director, said: “This will align A4E members with the decision of member states made last month and bring more clarity to passengers across Europe.<\/p>\n

“From city-hoppers to family travellers, everyone will benefit from the same clear rule across our members\u2019 networks.”<\/p>\n

Almost all other carriers are continuing as before, with British Airways, Jet2 and easyJet all having allowances that currently exceed the new ‘standardised’ dimensions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The amount of luggage you can take for free is changing 13:22, 03 Jul 2025Updated 13:27, 03 Jul…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":236293,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8818],"tags":[381,748,393,4884,1339,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-236292","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bristol","8":"tag-bristol","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-ryanair","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114792636480152660","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236292"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236292\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236293"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
