Ryanair has strict cabin bag rules that if flouted can result in hefty fines
If you've ever travelled with a budget airline you'll know they have strict baggage rules. It's easy to get caught out with the hand luggage restrictions, which can often result in fines. Some airlines, such as Ryanair, have a metal box that your bag needs to fit into for it to be classed as hand luggage, and if it doesn't fit you need to check the bag in and pay.
Emily knew Ryanair's stringent luggage restrictions and had purchased a backpack from Amazon that was exactly the right size to avoid paying extra for an upgrade. She spent considerable time rolling up all of her clothes to fit in five days' worth. Emily's Cabin Max Ryanair Cabin Bag is currently on offer for £19.95, down from £34.95.I've flown with Ryanair numerous times before, but I'd never seen the rule enforced so rigorously.
We were next in line and I nervously handed over my passport and removed my backpack from my shoulder for inspection. It was practically bursting at the seams and I doubted it would measure 40x20x25cm anymore. I instantly regretted packing that additional beach dress. Her strategy worked and she was allowed to proceed without any additional charges. Another group donning 'Girls' Trip - Tenerife 2024' t-shirts attempted to dispute the fee. From our eavesdropping, it appeared they had added the baggage to their return flight booking, but not the outbound one. They still had to cough up the money.
