    I'm flying with Ryanair first this tomorrow and only taking carry-on since booking a bag in would cost me twice as much as the flight.

    My question is what other items are banned from carry on except the normal knifes, explosives, liquids, etc?

    Not mad on pressurised containers.

    I know one of my friends had only hand luggage and had bought a new safety razor with 10 blades, as in the real razor blades. They just looked at him and said you know you're not meant to have these?
    Shrugged and let him through.

    Silly really when people have a mach 3 taken off them, or a nail clippers.

    i'm sure half the stuff that is 'confiscated for the good of the country' ends up on ebay. so the more valuable the thing is the more likely they are to take it

    in most civilised countries you can always go back and bring it to the car or give it to the person who dropped you off but in england you have to give it to them, as punishment for trying to sneak it on in the first place.

    Make sure you only have 1 bag, they will charge for handbags and even duty free bags.

    Ryanair will fine passengers who try to break cabin baggage rules
    By Caitrina Cody


    Wednesday January 21 2009

    FOR those of you cheeky enough to try to smuggle in a handbag along with your backpack when you board a Ryanair flight - your days are numbered. The no-frills airlines will be rapping offenders on the knuckles and slapping them with a €30 fine if they try to carry more than one piece of cabin baggage on board.

    Current rules allow passengers to take along baggage weighing up to 10kg, but Ryanair management claims that there has been a big increase in those "abusing" this privilege.

    Spokesperson for Ryanair Stephen McNamara explained the new rules, saying that the current allowance is already a generous one.

    "Due to the large increase in passengers abusing this allowance Ryanair will now charge passengers for each additional piece of carry-on luggage," he said.

    "Passengers are made clearly aware of their cabin allowance at the time of their booking and it is also printed on their online boarding cards, said Mr McNamara, adding that passengers who over-pack and refuse to pay the fine will not be allowed to travel.

    The policy will be enforced for everyone travelling on all Ryanair flights.

    It means that everything that passengers wish to bring on the plane, including handbags and laptops, must be contained inside one single bag.

    Passengers have been advised to pay the €15 charge to check in a bag, rather than risk a heftier fine for too many bags at the departure gates.

    with local people bringing their favourite farm animals on holidays.

    if ryanair tried to ban livestock their planes would be empty


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,813 ✭✭✭BaconZombie


    No ryanair planes would not pass the EU laws on transportation of livestock.....

    On a serious note, careful with any liquids.

    Flew today and managed to get away with an airbrush in the hand luggage. With four spare needles. And those things are sharp. Took it out, showed it to them, no problem.

    If you;re taking a laptop, in the hand baggage NOT seprately. They're serious.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I main question is are Handcuff and Gas-Masks banned ?

    I can't see them listed on an airline, airport or government listing directly or indirectly as far as I can see.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    im sure those items will be fine in Checked Luggage.

      13 arrested and 39 firearms found.
      Something tells me that it wasn't an average of three firearms per person..

      I'd love to know why 13 were arrested for suspicious behaviour, yet 39 people were found with firearms.
