So I'm flying with ryanair this Saturday. They say a baby buggy is free of charge.

What about a trike? Its lighter than a buggy so I think it should be fine too, but I'm not sure.

Is a trike like this: http://i.imgur.com/F2VzyEM.jpg

Did anyone bring such a trike for a Ryanair flight?

Haha, no an airline will still have issued it, just through Tripsta. You can usually tell which from the first three digits of the ticket number.

232 is the first three numbers & google suggests that is Malaysian airlines so 30kg it is I guess! Thanks

I normally use a wheely but since I'll be pushing a buggy I need a lightweight backpack that fits Ryanair cabin measurements (55cm x 40cm x 20cm,)

I was checking out the Deuter Pace 26, which holds 26 litres but unfortunately I can't find this in stock anywhere.

Does anyone know of a similar capacity, good quality, backpack?

Cheers,

The Cabin Max backpack holds 44 litres.

I have one and have used it on Ryanair without any issues.

They won't count that as a buggy. That will be oversized baggage and you'll have to pay for that and check it at the desk not bring it through the airport. It's not about weight. It's about size and functionality.

<mod snip>

the long handle is removable btw, could that make a difference?
we brought a stroller once for a turkish airlines flight. we gave it to them as is, not folded together. we also got it back unfolded.

i also wrote an email to ryanair regarding that, lets see what they say...

That's nice.

Not sure what it has to do with your trike issue.

Ryanair will happily accept a stroller. But a trike is not a stroller.

I have a Cabin Max too - I can use it for up to a week away. Most useful piece of luggage I've ever bought. People keep borrowing it from me as well.

skibum · 05-06-2015 12:22am

Another vote for cabin max, never had any issues using them with Ryanair....

dcmurphy94 · 05-06-2015 10:50am

Ryanair will now accept two pieces of child/baby equipment free of charge.

Normally a buggy would be one piece. After that they include car seats, travel cots and the likes.

Worth a shot with the trike. At best they'll carry it free. At worst you should only be charged €10.

oceanclub · 07-06-2015 4:08pm

Thanks all; I checked out the Cabin Max and while it definitely looks the business as far as getting as much possible from A to B, I wasn't sure about it as far as comfort and longevity went especially as will be doing a good bit of walking on this trip (and in future). Having seen a few recommendations (like here http://www.ridiculouslyextraordinary.com/how-to-pack-ultra-light/ and here http://globetrooper.com/notes/how-to-choose-a-backpack/) I went for the Deuter Futura 32:

Hi All

Been trying to get clarification, when they are talking about the measurements for the cabin baggage, ie, 55x40x20, does that include the wheels and the handle on the case? I measured a case we have from the floor to the top of the case is 55cm, but then there is the handle on top of that, does that mean it would be oversize?

Thanks in advance, bit of a RyanAir newbie here!

OffTheSideBar · 12-06-2015 10:39am

Hi guys, hoping to get this ironed out so to speak here because I've got no aid through Ryanair directly - surprise surprise.

Traveling to London in a week. Have a bag checked on for the underhold, no problems there.

As for cabin bag, I was hoping to bring a laptop bag with my mac, and a pad and few things. Nothing major. Then I want to bring a suit with me too but I won't be able to fit it in the bag I've checked on. So can I bring a 1 suit in a suit bag on board with a hanger included? My reasoning being that the suit (if required at a point in the flight) could be compressed to a size smaller than cabin bag allowances...

Hope I'm making sense...

TL;DR - Can I take a suit in a suit bag on board?

As far as I'm aware the max sizes they quote are the max sizes including everything... The have those box frames in the airports to those dimensions, and your bag needs to fit into that frame. Now, since the frame needs the slot to put in the bag into it, that is kind of a loophole. So if your extra size is in the upper area of the frame, then you can get away with bringing something that sticks out a little; so really it depends on where that extra width is located on your bag and how the frame is laid out (i.e. widthways or lengthways). Hope that makes sense.
However, I must say that Ryanair have loosened up their rules a bit and unless you're really taking the piss with an oversize bag, they usually don't make people check its size. Once the cabin starts getting full, they take the extra luggage into check-in for free.

Hi all,
Was travelling on Ryanair recently and seeing as I was far back in the qeue they made me put my bag in the hold. I had no problem with this as we had to collect large bags at the other side anyway. I was just wondering if it was possible to give in your 10 kg hand luggage at the bag drop with the larger bags for free? After all its going in the hold either way and it would have saved me dragging it around the airport all morning.
Thanks

Balmed Out · 30-06-2015 9:41am

I flew return with them to the canaries a few months ago and as travelling with a toddler had a large case to check in. On both legs they gave us the option of checking in the other bags free of charge which was really handy when minding a toddler in an airport.

whiskeyman · 30-06-2015 9:42am

I doubt it.
It's not always going to be in the hold either way. This will only be for passengers near the end on v busy flights.
They'll want as many passenger to take their carry on in the cabin so they can carry it out themselves.
If more bags end up in the hold, it's more work for the baggage staff and more time ultimately for turn around.

I guess it's worth asking though!

spurious · 30-06-2015 10:48am

They only have room for 90 of the wheelie bag things.

I was coming back from Berlin with Aer Lingus the other day - we were one of the first to check in, but they still asked me if I'd like to but my cabin bag in the hold, as the flight was full. I think they were expecting that most people would have hand luggage - because THEY make it so difficult and expensive to do otherwise - so they wanted to fill the hold. I was very happy - until I realise that I had no jacket, and it was chilly on the plane!

Yes it depends what you have in the bag, I wouldn't be happy to put a laptop, camera or anything valuable in a bag getting checked in to the hold.

I just remembered my medication on time, it was in the front pocket. The ground staff agent was a bit iffy when I took it out of the bag, and said I'd have to go through security again (in Schoenefeld your bags go through an x-ray maching before you go to check in). I said in that case I wouldn't bother checking it in and she said it was ok. It was a packet of tablets...security can be sill sometimes.

Hello

I know this is an old thread but on the off chance, has anyone does this recently? I'm planning to go to a festival in Spain with a small 2 man tent, obviously trying to save the euros so would like to not check anything in.

Has it relaxed at all regarding the tent pegs? Bearing in mind they are just the cheap L shaped ones that can be bent by hand!

Atlantic Dawn · 10-08-2015 11:50am

I can't see them allowing it as it will take up lots of space in the overheads where other bags could be stored. You will not get the tent pegs through security at the airport if they are metal and I would say plastic pegs won't be allowed either as they will be sharp.

aicushen · 10-08-2015 9:48pm

Has anyone transported a double buggy to Australia as part of their luggage allowance? I am looking for a means of protecting the buggy very well without any damage occurring.
Anyone who has had this experience your advice would be welcomed
There is also a carry cot to transport

lord lucan · 10-08-2015 10:35pm

Parchment · 24-08-2015 5:13pm

Has anyone else noticed this?

I dont think i have seen them checking size or quantity of carry on bags people are taking within the past 6-8 months. I have noticed people getting on with a backpack as well as a small suitcase - in all cases i saw the second piece of luggage was far bigger than the amount they now allow i.e the small handbag.

Has anyone else noticed this?

maximoose · 24-08-2015 5:14pm

Yep, I think it coincided with their new 'customer friendly' attitude they were trying to adopt

Have taken around 10 Ryanair flights this year and not once have I seen anyone asked to check their hand luggage in the size guide, compared to 2 years ago when almost everybody in the queue would be asked.

spurious · 24-08-2015 6:18pm

I was on a flight today and there were people with three pieces of hand luggage. As usual the piss takers will ruin it for everyone.

Louche Lad · 24-08-2015 9:05pm

Maybe two years since I've seen anyone's cabin baggage checked. Two weeks ago I brought the wrong bag with me (forgot it was the oversized one) but no consequences.

stargazer 68 · 25-08-2015 10:59am

We flew Ryanair to Italy a couple of weeks ago. One suitcase was 15.7 and the other was 16.2 - she never batted an eyelid!

michellie · 25-08-2015 12:20pm

4 of us travelled to manchester in May and 3 of us just brought carry ons, when one was checking her bag in they said we could all check in our bags, great not to be dragging them around the airport

solerina · 25-08-2015 1:27pm

I have seen notices saying if it fits it can go on.....they rarely check the size too. They have also said people can now bring a second small bag, however I have seen some people bring 3 bags too. Much nicer flying Ryanair since these changes came in &#55357;&#56832;

Guys,
I have looked online, and I can find information relating to bringing food into other countries, but I'm specifically trying to find out what food I am allowed to bring in my hand luggage.

Anyone any ideas?

I'm travelling next month from Dublin to the UK for a race, and I'd like to be able to bring my own pre prepared food. It doesn't appear to be a problem, as long as it's not liquids, but can anyone confirm?

Thanks

spurious · 26-08-2015 4:55pm

Not a problem unless liquids, though I suppose it's possible fellow travellers may complain if you took out something shockingly stinky.

If you've ever been on a flight to or from Eastern Europe, you'll have observed picnic time once the flight takes off. Not an issue in my experience. I have taken sandwiches and rolls and the like many times.

CantGetNoSleep · 26-08-2015 7:28pm

It seems to be since they started checking in hand luggage after the first 90 cases.

I doubt they ever made much profit from charging a few people per flight 50€ because their hand luggage was over sized, and alienated a lot of customers. The new rule doesn't annoy people, yet still allows them to get a quick turnaround

kerry4sam · 26-08-2015 7:31pm

Lookit, I flew out from Dublin very recently and brought my own food and no issue encountered. Granted I didn't want to take too much of a risk so actually put most of my food in my checked-bag.

Now, My issues: I've in the past had tweezers taken off me by DublinAirport Security but this time I was able to carry-on my multi-tool for my bike for when I arrived in Spain. I checked-in one but carried one in my hand-luggage.
^^^ Was trying to hedge my bets in event my checked luggage went awol and I arrived over to my bike & didn't have what I needed to get my bike set-up; didn't know anyone over in Spain; didn't really have great Spanish either to ask for help, had basics, better now though

No issue with carrying this what could be classified as a weapon. I went through security after a family who had a buggy so maybe they thought my multi-tool was somehow related to that. Dangerous over-sight anyways. No questions asked.

As re:liquids. I was asked if I had liquids in my hand-luggage but I never replied. It didn't matter. Nothing was thoroughly checked. I did have liquid, only a bottle of Holy-Water my Mom gave me to carry with me mind, but they didn't care if I had liquids or even replied to their question. I must have a trusting face & demeanor

Wouldn't foresee an issue with some food though tbh. Sur even families can carry on food for the kiddies.
Best of Luck in your Race too btw,
kerry4sam

Just printed off boarding cards for flights to Faro tomorrow. I note that the rules seem to specifically exclude bringing a laptop bag as a second bag unless you are a Gold Circle, Business Class or Flex Fare customer (which we're not).

Does anyone know if this rule is strictly enforced and should we be aiming to pack the laptop in one of our suitcases (and hence have to ditch some of the other things we were thinking of bringing)?

I thought that on Aer Lingus you were allowed bring a second small piece of hand baggage. I normally have a shoulder bag as cabin baggage and often carry a small carrier bag as well.
Are you checking in your suitcase? If you are you should have no problem.

Are you all bringing laptop bags as well as trollys ? If not I would proceed as planned just be prepared to have your trolly case gate checked or offloaded as that's what they tend to run out of space for, laptop bag may go under the seat in front (except for exit rows)

abff · 31-08-2015 2:12am

There are two of us. No checked luggage, just one laptop. I usually bring a small backpack and have had no problems with either Ryanair (since they changed their rules) or Aer Lingus. My son wants to bring his laptop with him. We will both be bringing normal sized carry on bags.

Cnt see that being an issue. EI pax can carry 1 piece of cabin luggage (wheelie bag, backpack) and 1 personal item (handbag, laptop bag)
I think GC members can carry an additional personal item.

Thanks. I thought that too until I printed off the boarding cards. The following wording appears:

Note the following baggage allowances which are strictly enforced.
Standard Allowance: one piece within the size limits of 55cm x 40cm x 24cm and maximum weight of 10kg. Small ladies handbag or gents satchel within the size limits of 25cm x 33cm x 20cm, to be stowed under the seat in front.
Enhanced allowance for Gold Circle, Business Class & Flex Fare customers: additional personal item such as a slimline laptop bag.

I know that my wife has often brought a handbag that exceeds the size limits specified above and I have seen several other people with second bags that exceed these limits. Therefore, the limits are not as strictly enforced as they state. My concern is that they may draw the line at laptop bags. It's not a particularly large bag, but it's well in excess of the second bag limits specified.

thebiglad · 31-08-2015 8:50am

It really will depend on how full the flight is, they will also probably ask you just to put the lap top bag under the seat in front of you.

Worst case scenario you'll probably just have your trolley case tagged at the gate and pick up at destination - don't sweat it.

Crumbs868 · 31-08-2015 10:40am

This is not a new rule, always been there just never enforced so carry on as normal

Indeed. If the flight is less than 70% then they dont need to strictly enforce the rule. However they have to state that bit for those flights that are over 75-80% full and have problems with hand luggage, that way no passenger can complain. (well they can, but it wont get them anywhere)
