Ryanair to boost size of free cabin bag by 20% as European airlines adopt minimum dimensions
Ryanair to increase free cabin bag allowance by 20%
- Ryanair will increase its free cabin baggage allowance by 20 per cent to a volume of 24 litres in the coming weeks.
- The new dimensions are larger than the recently agreed European minimum bag size of 40 x 30 x 15cm.
- This adjustment ensures that existing Ryanair-compatible cabin bags will remain usable for passengers.
- Rival airlines, including easyJet and Wizz Air, will maintain their current cabin baggage dimensions.
- Airlines for Europe is working with the EU transport commissioner to simplify baggage rules, while major low-cost carriers oppose a recent MEP vote for a mandatory two-bag limit.
