Basically a school bag or weekend bag, they aren't that strict one it goes under the seat.

rossie1977 · 20-06-2019 3:11pm

If you follow guildlines on size you should be OK.

I don't know anything about Kerry airport but usually abroad (outside UK) Ryanair have local airport staff at departure gate meaning they aren't as strict as say Dublin where ryanair staff go through queue checking bag sizes.

If in doubt wait till everyone is nearly on board to check in, airlines rarely look at the last passengers to board bags as they are more interested in just finishing up check in

acequion · 20-06-2019 3:55pm

Thanks guys. Kerry's just a small airport and tbh I've never heard of anybody having any hassle there. So am hoping I'll get away with a decent sized handbag. But you never know either!

'Airlines rarely look at the last passengers to board bags'

My experience is the complete opposite. I've often been boarding and overheard the gate people say quietly to each other that they will only allow 'n' more wheelie bags or bulky items onboard. Following which they confiscate bags and tag them for the hold. Apart from counting their bags, it's the people who board early that get little attention.

If the OP's bag will fit under the seat in front then there won't be a problem, otherwise I'd get into the queue early.

That really isn't an issue on Ryanair anymore; you can only bring an overhead bin bag with Priority Boarding, and they only sell 90 Priority tickets per flight, so there's always enough space in the bins (barring someone screwing up and letting something slip through). If you don't have Priority and you have a bag with you that won't fit under the seat, you'll be gate-checking it for a large fee regardless of where you line up in the queue.

But is that large fee not just €20 or €25? Which, if so, is basically the same for me as purchasing 10 kg cabin luggage at this point.

Which is why I posted with this query. You see when I first booked I had the option of purchasing the cabin luggage for €12 and also the option of priority. I think some weeks back I got mails still offering me priority. But when I checked a few days ago the option of priority, plus the option of purchasing the cabin luggage was gone. So obviously these offers are limited. So my reading is that my options now are pay the 20 or 25 euro [it's not clear which] if I want the cabin luggage or pay this price at the gate if my handbag is too big.

Please correct me, anyone, if I'm reading it wrong as I really don't want to risk a much larger fee for a few personal items. Thanks.

If you select a 10kg checked bag at booking, it's like €10-€12, but if you didn't, then it'll be €20 to check your 10kg bag at the bag drop desk, or if you bring it to the gate, it's €25 plus being the subject of a lot of annoyed sighs and grumbling from the attendants and the passengers behind you when you hold up the queue while dealing with the giant bag you were trying to sneak on board.

I think some weeks back I got mails still offering me priority. But when I checked a few days ago the option of priority, plus the option of purchasing the cabin luggage was gone.

Priority is probably sold out for your flight; they go fast now because of the new cabin bag rules. I believe the €10 checked 10kg bag is only available at booking, as well, not afterwards.

The whole policy is really very simple, though; without Priority Boarding, you can have one bag with you in the cabin for free that's 40cm by 25cm by 20cm. If you have a bag that's a fair bit bigger than that (and can't be squashed down to fit in the sizer), then you'll have to check it, so you might as well check it at the desk rather than wait till the gate and save yourself €5.

Reading through this thread and getting confused a tad by the different scenarios, as we're flying to the canaries next week with Ryanair, we normally only travel with them for short hops (UK), want to make sure I get this right...

4 passengers, 2 of which are children, have 3 20kg bags checked in & all are non priority, we had planned on bringing 2 backpacks with us as our cabin baggage, both fit comfortably under the seat in front (both been used for uk flights) so I assume thats okay and wont give us any trouble when boarding?

You’ll be ok. Where you might have a problem is in getting seated together. You may have to pay extra.

We already have herself & the 2 kids together, I paid to get the closest seat I could afterwards, outwards is 4 or 5 rows back (not ideal but could have been worse), inward is the row behind which is fine, at €19 a pop I was less than impressed though...

dartboardio · 28-06-2019 3:09am

Youll be grand. I always have a huge chunky handbag that doesnt even close with stuff hanging out of it getting on! And nothings ever said.

Funny that its only ever ryanair who might say something, aer lingus or vueling couldn't give a crap if your 10kg for example is even over by 3kg, they are probably saying, well fair play to her for squeezing all that in

New Home · 03-07-2019 4:27pm

And coats with large pockets. Ok, wrong season, but I got away with murder with that one.

Stationmaster · 05-07-2019 11:47am

Going to Spain next week. Anyone bring hurleys with them on a Ryanair flight before and, if so, how does it work please? Thanks.

Ponster · 05-07-2019 1:32pm

You check them in. They don't count against any other checked baggage that you have as they are a separate item.

The following items must be checked in: any blunt instrument capable of causing injury, including tennis rackets, baseball and softball bats, clubs or batons - rigid or flexible - e.g. billy clubs, blackjacks (truncheon of leather covered lead with flexible shaft), night sticks & batons, cricket bats, golf clubs, hockey and hurley sticks, lacrosse sticks, kayak and canoe paddles, skateboards, billiard, snooker and pool cues, fishing rods, martial arts equipment, e.g. knuckle dusters, clubs, coshes, rice flails, num-chucks, kubatons, kubasaunts.

So, it has to be checked in.

I've had a look at both the Dublin & Shannon airport websites, can't see anything that says you can't, the Dublin airport website suggests you can, I'm not asking about consuming it on the flight, just getting through airport security, they are 50ml bottles, the same ones they sell on the flight, anybody working in airport security or travelers done this?
Thanks

As long as they are under 100ml and fit in your liquid bag your fine.

kurtainsider · 12-07-2019 11:14pm

I bought the special clear plastic bottles for bringing on flights and filled them with whiskey. No problems as it's within the rules

You're definitely sculling that on the flight admit it. Don't worry, the DAA aren't here...

Can confirm, it wasn’t an issue, no problems

Anything OVER 100ml ..

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

McSween · 19-07-2019 1:47pm

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.

normakelle · 22-07-2019 4:14pm

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.

Credit Checker Moose · 22-07-2019 4:17pm

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.

normakelle · 22-07-2019 4:54pm

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?

johnnykilo · 23-07-2019 8:11pm

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!

Cheshire Cat · 23-07-2019 8:49pm

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.

fizzypish · 24-07-2019 8:03pm

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.

Gael23 · 25-07-2019 2:02pm

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

Credit Checker Moose · 25-07-2019 7:56pm

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.
