Ryanair question

Going Demented

Booking flights for two to edinburgh and am confused with this baggage thing. Only going from fri - mon so not gonna have a hell of a lot. Would you need to check in luggage or would be better off just paying the 30 each for a bag?

Im going to guess your female.

You are unlikely to have items of 100ml or less.

If you do have 100mls or less then carry on your luggage. Get yourself a 56x45x25cm dimension cabin baggage.

If you need to bring all your items like 200ml shampoo's and stuff then you will have to check your baggage of get to the shops to buy the travel sized stuff.

As a bloke, I managed to do 6 days in Italy on Ryanair with a gym bag of stuff.

Another option to get around the 100ml thing is to just buy stuff in the airport once your through "security", or on arrival, and then dump what you don't use by the return fight.

I hate giving money to people/companies thriving on the bad luck of passengers with the 100ml allowance problem.

I had to buy a mini tootpaste, mini hair gel and mini shampoo the last time I flew with carry on. It was a pain having to spend more money because I might try to hijack the plane with an extra 20ml of toothpaste.

Obviously products will be cheaper to buy in Edinburgh anyway with the £ - € at the moment.

Back to the original question. Pack your bag and then take out half, thats usually all you need.

Definately go with hand luggage if you can!

Check out Lush for solid shampoo bars, also solid conditioner! And get a solid deoderant...

Boots do little 100ml bottles you can decant anything else into.

wondering

you can only have one bag, no handbag. it will have to fit into the other hand luggage bag, so make sure there is room.

Even if you buy things in duty free i think it still has to fit into the one bag. ryanair have that 'yoke/ standy thing' that for now anyway they are asking people to fit the bag into to check the dimensions of it.

one the plus side i dont think they weigh the handluggage yet, so get some of those vaccume bags that you can simply role the air out of them. you get lots more clothes in your bag.avoid sharp objects in bag though.

re. liquids: medicines over 100ml can get through, contact lense solution etc.

if your bringing a large jacket, or boots wear them.

oh and if your not checking in a bag, you are better off checking in on line and printing your boarding pass. the priority booking for the extra 10 yoyos (5 each way) is well worth buying, although every one is using it now adays.

As you mention the dimensions check "yoke" have you ever actually seen any Ryanair official use it? Or any airline for that matter?

In my entire lifetime I was only forced to do this once, in Perth International Airport in Australia, with a little backpack.

You should have seen a recent flight I took to Rimini in Italy with Ryanair. The Italians had big big big suitcases in the cabin and they would clearly not fit in the overhead. Im talking around 40 Italian kids together. The steward was cursing and dragging luggage out of the aircraft and sending it into the hold. None of them were charged for this luxury.

i enquired about this, work in shannon airport. yep your right, they were doing spot checks for a while, but seam to have stopped. using the 'yoke' as referenced above.

i know i used to do the two handluggage bags myself, very handy, and never weighed.:o

Ryanair flight Madrid to Dublin at Christmas one woman tried to carry on 7 items of baggage. It was bloody hilarious. She took umbrage as well when made reorganise herself.



2 backpacks, laptop, handbag, 2 duty free bags and a small kids lunchbox yoke.
