1. Types of Baggage

Ryanair offers several types of baggage allowances depending on your tariff and extras selected:

• Small Personal Item: A compact bag you can place under the seat in front of you.
• Cabin Baggage: Larger carry‑on bags stored in the overhead bin (requires Priority).
• Checked Baggage: Larger bags checked into the aircraft hold (subject to fee).
• Oversized/Special Items: Sports equipment, musical instruments, etc., usually with additional fees.

2. What’s Included with Your Fare

In a standard Ryanair fare (without extras), you are typically entitled to:

• A small personal item (e.g., backpack, small tote) that fits under the seat in front of you.

Larger cabin bags and checked baggage are not included and must be purchased separately.

3. Priority & 2 Cabin Bags

If you purchase Priority & 2 Cabin Bags, you are allowed:

• Your small personal item (under‑seat)
• A larger cabin bag (goes in the overhead bin)

This option is available as an add‑on or part of higher fare bundles and gives you more flexibility with hand luggage.

4. Baggage Fees and Limits

Fees depend on several factors:

• Route and season
• Time of purchase — earlier is usually cheaper
• Weight or size of the baggage (e.g., 10 kg, 20 kg, 25 kg)

Some general points:

• Adding checked baggage during booking is typically cheaper than doing so at the airport.
• Overweight or oversized baggage usually incurs extra fees.
• Excess baggage or extra items might be charged at higher rates at the airport.

5. How to Add Baggage

• During booking – select baggage allowance before checkout.
• After booking – log into your reservation online or via the app to add baggage.
• During online check‑in – if you forgot to add earlier, you may still add baggage (usually with a fee).

It’s generally cheaper to add baggage as early as possible (at the initial booking).

6. Tips to Save on Baggage Fees

• Book baggage early: Adding checked bags at booking is cheaper than later additions.
• Consider Priority: if you travel light, Priority with 2 cabin bags might be cheaper than checked luggage fees.
• Check weight limits: Avoid overweight charges by packing within limits.
• Compare fare bundles: Sometimes a higher fare including baggage can be better value than separate fees.
