So do most people just buy blades and foam at the destination? Bit of a pain.

Normal shaving blades (the type in a plastic cartridge) are perfectly fine. Old school double sided blades like a barber might use (ironically called "safety blades") are not ok.

New Home · 12-02-2019 7:49pm

Apologies, I was thinking of the latter.

otnomart · 12-02-2019 7:51pm

Disposable Razors: Disposable razors come in two types. The kind that is completely disposable (handle and all), or the kind where you replace them with cartridges. These are permissible in carry-on luggage with the blade and replacement cartridges.
Electric Razors: Electric razors are permitted in both checked and carry-on bags.

Are rucksacks allowed under the new policy? i have one that resembles the size of the one in the pic in the email they sent me. Is there a weight limit on it? I haven't purchased anything additional

Tigerandahalf · 12-02-2019 8:24pm

Do any of the supermarkets sell a foam jar with less than 100ml. All of mine seem to be 200ml.

New Home · 12-02-2019 8:28pm

Dunno, but Boots does (there's one inside Dublin Airport, if you're flying from there).

John.G · 13-02-2019 9:34am

Off topic but I now see, for the past few days at least, you now have to log in to your account to complete the booking and pay.
A "guest" or someone who hasn't a account cannot do it, is this a new strategy or is it just a temporary site glitch?.

I have seen travel size toiletries in Tescos. All Boots definitely do whole sections of travel size, including shaving foams. Usually 3 for 2.

Penneys, from time to time, have Nivea (IIRC) travel sets with shaving foam in them.

Happy_Harry · 13-02-2019 4:32pm

Didn't see this in the last 10 pages of the thread, but I have found it pretty useful since Ryanair changed the policy..

The actual sizer (which they use to police their luggage policy) is slightly bigger (42 x 20 x 30 cm) than the documented size for the small bag ( 40 x 20 x 25cm)

Only thing I could get in boots was a travel kit (in clear plastic zip bag) containing foam, a mac 3 razor, shampoo, after shave balm, toothpaste and brush. €13. Don't need half of it but the clear bag should be ok for security.

pretty sure Boots in the Airport sell these also

New Home · 13-02-2019 5:42pm

If you haven't bought the kit already, the bag is usually just a one-litre freezer bag with a zip.

py2006 · 14-02-2019 1:17am

I'm travelling to Boston in April and I bought a case which I thought was within the dimensions described on the Aer Lingus website. I must have confused it with the label on another case I was looking at in the shop.

The maximum dimensions of any single bag are (length + width + height) = 158 cm (62").

Unfortunately, my case is 164cm when dimensions are added. Is there a fee charged or will I be told at check in that the bag is simply not allowed?

Thanks

Strumms · 14-02-2019 2:25am

6 cms is sweet fèck all you’ll be grand or certainly should be.

finbarrk · 14-02-2019 9:58am

I'd say you will be ok also.

endofrainbow · 14-02-2019 12:26pm

just tell them that the boardies said it would be ok but be prepared to have to pay

py2006 · 14-02-2019 3:09pm

I presumed it was weight they were more concerned with.

torrevieja · 16-02-2019 3:03am

Hi folks just wondering if there is luggage restrictions size on checked in bags got this case recently quite large

These days they'll look at your bag as you board the plane and if the bag is under weight but looks too big then they'll check it in.

thevinylword · 18-02-2019 4:44pm

Hi there, playing a gig in London soon and want to bring my instrument (alto sax) with me. I really really don't want it to go in the hold so was thinking of doing two things:

1) Hiding it in a backpack (which will be sliiightly too long for the recommended size) and bringing it as handluggage and hope I get away with it

2) Buy a seat for the instrument

I did 2) before, but is that still allowed on Ryanair is my question? The flights aren't expensive at the moment so if I can buy a seat for the instrument and guarantee it'll be onboard with me I'd be happy

coylemj · 18-02-2019 4:58pm

Musical instruments are covered in this section, scroll down until you see a wide blue banner: 'Musical Equipment' .....

That's specifically about checking in musical instruments which the OP does not want to do.

OP - contact Ryanair online chat or get in touch via social media where you can get a definitive answer on whether or not booking a seat is an option.

It also tells you about buying a seat for the instrument. Which is specifically what the OP is asking about.

At the link I supplied, there is an option in the third column ... 'Extra Seat Item' ....

Smaller musical items such as a guitar, violin or viola which exceed our cabin baggage dimensions may be carried in the cabin if a seat for it has been reserved and the appropriate fare paid. There is no checked or cabin baggage allowance associated with the purchase of an extra seat.

jhegarty · 18-02-2019 9:39pm

Aer Lingus are usually fine unless you take the piss.

My experience too.. the only exception would be if the flight is absolutely full.

dudara · 19-02-2019 12:13pm

AL tend to take a sensible view on this. If your bag is approx the right dimensions, it will be unlikely that you’ll be hauled up.

Mrcaramelchoc · 20-02-2019 9:24am

I want to bring back a bottle or two of whiskey or brandy from Germany( buying it in hamburg not duty free) on a ryanair flight. am i correct in saying the only way i can do this is by checking it in?
Im thinking with the liquid allowance i can't go through security and bring it on board?

lbc2019 · 20-02-2019 9:25am

That is correct- you must check it in. 100ml is the max limit for liquids per container

Mrcaramelchoc · 20-02-2019 9:26am

Thanks i just wanted to make sure.

buy it in the airport and you dont have to check it in as youve already passed security.

but you will have to fit it into whatever carry on bag allowence you have.

Yea i realise that but its cheaper bought in hamburg locally and its local stuff i want.you won't get as good a selection in the airport.

lbc2019 · 20-02-2019 9:43am

Ryanair allow a duty free shopping bag also

Wont be cheaper if you have to check it in!

But I'm already checking in a bag anyway lol

lbc2019 · 20-02-2019 9:48am

Then put it in your check in!

woodchuck · 20-02-2019 11:29am

Yes, you'll need to put it in the bag you're checking in. This has nothing to do with Ryanair though, it's just a standard security policy for the majority of airports.

k123456 · 20-02-2019 1:05pm

Can be placed in yur 10kg bag, assuming you check in this

I'd be interested to know if you have to pay extra for a check-in seat for the instrument in order to keep it beside you? Otherwise, random allocation could see you separated at either end of the plane!

dartboardio · 23-02-2019 2:02pm

The new bag policy with ryanair is actually so much better (they might not realise)

So essentially if a couple bring a 20kg bag on holiday between them it costs them €40

Now you can get 20kg between you for €20 (the two 10kg check in bags)

The idiots trying to rip the public off dont even see its a way better deal for us :L

You're essentially paying for a carry on, which was originally free, which is now checked in. But alright!

Yes true but if you look at it now.. Unfortunately yes we have to pay but you get 20kg for €20 instead of 40. Handy for 2 people

Handy if you wanted the checked bag in the first place alright to be fair!

Still sneaky of them. Especially now they've raised the price from €6 to €8 for priority + cabin bag if booked with flight...

slimboyfat · 24-02-2019 3:09pm

Anyone know how strict Ryanair are with the new non priority hand luggage rules?

I have a backpack that is a approx 47x28x25 when full, would this get through?

They’re not that strict really. As long as the bag will fit under the seat in front of you, it’s ok. Most people seem to be using backpacks.

Can you bring the same amount on non priority if I understand it right?

Unless you pay for checked on luggage, you can only bring a large handbag/rucksack/laptop bag. It MUST fit under the seat in front of you.

There’s priority & 2 cabin bags where you put one under the seat and one 10kg bag overhead. Then there’s a 10kg checked in bag option which I assume allows you to have some sort of additional cabin baggage.

Credit Checker Moose · 03-03-2019 11:20pm

Nope. It is either one or the other.

Yes of course but only a handbag or small bagpack. So you check in your 10kg and then bring on your small backpack.
