    1gram water = almost exactly 1ml.
    They should let it through but had one guy give me hassle over a 100g container of pomade :)

    I’m not sure, you may have to contact them, these items are free for an infant/baby, but once a child is older than 2 they aren’t classed as an infant, they’re a regular passenger, and I’m not sure if the buggy would then be free, but I think it will be, maybe private message them on social media to clarify

    Can i bring two child items such as a buggy or car chair free to check in to a Ryanair flight?

    Our daughter is over two now. I know these were free before she turned two.

    Checking in Cabin Bags with Aer Lingus

    I’m wondering if anyone can help me please? There are 4 of us traveling to Lanzarote on Aer Lingus. I see from the Aer Lingus website that we can each check in our cabin (10 kg) bags for €5 if we go to desk 32. This is great as saved hassle with liquids requirements. However, there is no information as to whether we can check the cabin bag again for the return journey from Lanzarote. Can anyone help with this query please? TIA

    I’ve checked in my cabin bag at out stations with Aer Lingus, although I’ve no idea of Lanzarote, I’m sure if you contact them in social media with this question they’ll inform you of this process for their Lanzarote outstation.

    Anytime I fly with aerlingus, I check in online and go to the desk for boarding cards and ask will they take the hand luggage and they always take it free of charge. I don't like the idea of them charging for it as it starts at 5 euro and like everything else will only increase.

    The advantage of paying is that you can get non security friendly stuff checked in i.e. liquids.

    There is honestly little value in dragging a case all the way to the gate only to dispose of it then.

    I don't drag it through security. I hand it in at the check in desk for free. Works for me.

    If you only have the carry-on and not a hold case as well, they sometimes refuse to take the carry-on at the check-in desk. Happened to me twice and luckily I didn't have any liquids in the small case, as I had to drag it through security anyway. On one occasion, checking in at the desk they would only take one carry-on per large paid case.

    It appears they are trialling a new policy where you can check in a small 10kg case for €5, this would probably be a popular option going forward

    Definitely, especially for folk who travel light. Presume it'll find itself increasing in price, like the way Ryanair's minimum is €8 or thereabouts?

    Trying to find out for a friend who quite frankly doesn't know what he's doing.

    He's just discovered he needs to check in and pay for a 10kg bag with Ryanair tomorrow (non-priority ticket). The fee is €25 but where does he pay for this; is it in the app or in person in the airport. Also if it's in the airport can he pay in cash or does it have to be card?

    Thanks!

    From the Ryanair website:
    "You can add the 10kg Check-in Bag at the time of booking, during check-in, or in your trip extras. Sign into your Active trip and scroll down to your trip extras. Click “Add to Trip” and follow the steps."

    "Non-priority customers who have not added a bag to their booking can still purchase a 10kg Check-In Bag at the airport bag drop desk or at the boarding gate for €/£25."

    I would add the bag in the app / online, it's less hassle.

    Hi,
    Have to transport a few instruments from Amsterdam to Faro. Acoustic guitar, fiddle, banjo, bodhran and a mandolin. Anybody have experience with this? I imagine Ryanair will charge a seat each instrument? The musicians will not put their babies in the cargo hold. I'm not musical myself but I completely understand. Any tricks or tips appreciated.

    Ryanair have the priority and 2 cabin bag option which includes a 10kg carry on along with another smaller bag. They also have the option to check in a 10kg bag. What’s the advantage of one or the other?

    If you’re only traveling with carry on, you have all your luggage exiting the aircraft, if you check it in you’ll have to wait for it to appear on the carousel, so time really

    If you take the check it in option you’re not limited by the 100ml liquids in a clear plastic bag. You can pack what you want.

    It also makes the security, airport and boarding experience much much more pleasant not having to drag cases with you, you feel so light and free if you drop off the bag at check in.

    Can you still take a small bag on board? I have medication I can’t be without so needs to come on board in case checked in bag gets lost

    No problem, the bag must fit under the seat.

    The bag must fit under the seat from a dimensions perspective. But it may be stored in an overhead locker.

    Seen many people with non priority carrying a second smaller bag from krakow. Nobody was stopped.

    But you have to see how that compares with lengthy waits for bags on the other end. Edinburgh has been 45 minutes plus for me twice this year so last time I booked priority and carried my case on.
