Take note…
Ryanair has once again reminded customers of the changes in their cabin baggage policy that will come into effect on Monday, January 15.
It’s not the first warning they’ve served in the wake of the existing rules being “repeatedly flouted” and resulting in boarding delays.
From Monday next week, only priority customers of the airline will be able to bring to cabin bags on board the plane, everyone else will have their larger (wheelie) bag, placed in the hold free of charge.
The check-in bag allowance has also risen to 20kg while the price of it has been cut by €10.
- The check-in bag allowance has increased from 15kg to 20kg for all bags
- The standard check-in bag fee has been cut from €/£35 to €/£25 for this 20kg bag
- Only Priority Boarding customers (including Plus, Flexi Plus & Family Plus) will be allowed to bring two carry-on bags on the aircraft* from 15, January 2018
- All other (i.e. non-priority) customers will only be allowed to bring one smaller carry-on bag on board the aircraft, while their second (bigger) wheelie bag must be placed in the hold (free of charge) at the boarding gate from 15, January 2018.
Priority Boarding can be purchased for €5 at the time of booking or added to a booking for €6 up to two hours (on Ryanair.com) and 30 minutes (on Ryanair app) prior to scheduled departure time.
Speaking on the announcement, Ryanair’s Kenny Jacobs said: “We’re reminding our customers that from Monday (15 January 2018), only Priority Boarding customers will be allowed to bring two carry-on bags on the aircraft. All other customers will be allowed to bring one smaller carry-on bag on board, while their second (bigger) wheelie bag will be placed in the hold (free of charge) at the boarding gate.
“This will speed up the boarding of flights and eliminate flight delays, alongside our new checked bag policy which offers our customers lower bag fees for a 33% increase in their checked bag allowance.”
