Ryanair Changes
Can´t believe the old dog is changing his ways. Now allowing a small handbag or airport bag on in addition to a carry on bag. Plus other changes.

Re: Ryanair Changes
I mentioned this in the other RA thread, a few comments there about this.

Re: Ryanair Changes
When we used to fly with them, it would annoy me how some were let through with cabin luggage obviously too big to fit in the frame, plus hand bags, carrier bags full of stuff, yet I was told to put my bum bag in my cabin bag. My bag has been tested in the frame several times, though of regulation size, but someone with a bulky holdall just walked through.

I remember having to stuff my airport bought extras into jacket pockets and I had 2 books inside my shirt.
But, rules are rules - just that "some men are more equal than others"

Re: Ryanair Changes
Their website gives max size for handbag or whatever as 35 x 20 x 20 cms. Oh, and they will remove that annoying 'Captcha security feature' whilst trying to book.

Re: Ryanair Changes
Well, far be it for me to be the only one to stick up for them (RA), but how annoying is it when you pack everything into one bag so that it just fits and weigh it carefully, only to see someone walk through with what appears to be twice the limit and they get away with it? Whatever the rules, they should be the same for everybody.

Re: Ryanair Changes
The permitted size of cabin baggage is larger than quoted above - this from their site today:
'Strictly one item of cabin baggage per passenger (excluding infants) weighing up to 10kg with maximum dimensions of 55cm x 40cm x 20cm is permitted. (handbag, briefcase, laptop, shop purchases, camera etc.) must be carried in your 1 permitted piece of cabin baggage.'
The relaxation of the 1 bag policy may be in response to this:

Re: Ryanair Changes
Apologies, misread it.
Having recently spent ages in luggage shops with a tape measure it jumped out at me!

Re: Ryanair Changes
all these size changes by RYA and EZY mean I will have to get a new suitcase - so the manufacturers are the only winners.

Re: Ryanair Changes
You see, nothing to worry about just Mr O'Leary being a little bit like father Christmas
