# **Ryanair Baggage Fees Policy 2023**

***Regarding Ryanair's 2023 Baggage Fees Policy!***

Popular low-cost airline Ryanair offers flights from Ireland to destinations throughout Europe. For extra services like luggage costs for both checked and carry-on bags, it is known for nickel-and-diming travelers.


When flying with Ryanair, always reserve your baggage allowance in advance to avoid paying the extra charges at the airport.

Ryanair only allows one complimentary "personal item" that must fit under the seat in front of you if you're only planning to fly with hand bags. When booking your reservation, you must choose "Priority Boarding + 2 Cabin Bags" if you want to bring an overhead bag.

Ryanair announced a minor modification to its baggage policy in 2023, limiting access to its low baggage rates to online reservations that include the inclusion of luggage. You will be charged the additional "at airport" surcharge if you later add the extra piece of luggage to an existing reservation, even if you pay for it online.
Please be advised that during the "high season," Ryanair imposes extra luggage fees. To learn what you will be charged, check the dates of your travel.

## **Cabin Bag Size & Weight Restrictions on Ryanair Flights in 2023**

Please carefully study the material below to comprehend the updated Ryanair carry-on baggage regulations, which were newly made for 2023.

On Ryanair flights, you are only allowed to bring one free small bag that is no larger than 40 x 20 x 25 cm. If you bring a second bag to the gate or if the first small bag is too big or excessive, you will be charged 45.99 GBP/EUR to gate-check the bag (it will be put in the plane's hold).

If you want to bring more bags as carry-on, you can only do so if you upgrade to "Priority Boarding" in advance. Call us at 1-888-875-0388 for more information about the **[Ryanair Airlines Baggage Policy](https://medium.com/@s94227421/ryanair-baggage-fees-policy-2023-45c8d81301a1)**.

**Option 1:** Pay between 6 and 35.99 GBP/EUR for "Priority Boarding" for each flight, which entitles you to a second carry-on bag in addition to the free small bag limit (maximum weight 10 kg, maximum size 55 x 40 x 20 cm).

If you only require a little quantity of luggage and don't need a full suitcase, you can still spend between 12 and 25 GBP or EUR to add a small 10 kg checked bag allowance to your reservation; alternatively, if you add it later or pay at the airport, it will cost you between 24 and 46 GBP or EUR. The only difference between this and checking in a regular luggage is the substantially lower weight limit. Keep in mind that you won't have access to this bag while the plane is in flight.

### **Infant passenger policy for Ryanair**

There is no cabin bag allowance for children (8 days to 23 months) traveling on an adult's lap, however the companioning adult may bring a baby bag up to 5 kg in addition to their own cabin bag allowance.

In addition to their own cabin baggage allowance, the accompanying adult may additionally bring a baby bag weighing up to 5kg while a child (aged 8 days to 23 months) is riding on their lap.

You may also bring up to two complementary pieces of baby equipment per child.

**Musical apparatus**

If a seat has been reserved for it and the proper fee has been paid, smaller musical instruments like a guitar, violin, or viola that don’t fit in our cabin luggage compartments may be transported in the cabin. The purchase of an additional seat does not include any baggage allowance, either checked or carry-on.

**Added Seats**

The words “ITEM SEAT” and “EXTRA” must be typed as the first and last names, respectively, in order to reserve an additional seat for an item. The online boarding pass and reservation will then both say EXTRA ITEM SEAT. Details from the travel documents for the accompanying passenger must be entered during the online check-in process. The discounts for large families and Spanish residents do not apply to additional seats.

If you have already booked an extra seat for item/comfort/broken leg, you are not eligible to purchase reserved seating in emergency rows 1, 16, or 17.

**Fees for Checked Baggage on Ryanair 2023**

For 2023, Ryanair has raised the price for checked luggage. Remember that it is usually less expensive to purchase your baggage limit up front than to add bags later or to pay for them at the airport (which is the most expensive option). You are allowed to bring a maximum of three baggage. You have the option of bringing a 10 kg or 20 kg bag.

Your flight route and dates, which you can see when making a ticket online or in your Manage Bookings page, will determine the rate you will be paid. Please be aware that the discounted pricing for 2023 is only available when making your initial reservation on the Ryanair website; if you decide to add a bag later, you will be charged the higher “at airport” rate. Rates apply to each person, each bag, and each journey. For more detailed information about Guidance on Ryanair Airlines Baggage Policy call us here 1–888–875–0388

**10 kg Checked Bag:**

* Depending on the route, prices range from 12.99 to 35.99 EUR/GBP at the time of booking to 45.99 EUR/GBP later or at the airport check-in.
* 20 kg Checked Bag: During booking, prices range from 17.99 to 59.99 EUR/GBP, depending on the route and the dates of travel.
* Prices increase if purchased later online, over the phone, at airport ticket counters, during periods of high travel demand, and on particular routes.
* The airport check-in desk charges 69 EUR/GBP.
* Kilograms of excess weight cost between 9 and 11 euros or pounds (may be ordered online up to two hours before departure; at the airport, the cost is 11 euros or pounds per kilogram).

Please be aware that the cost for a 20kg checked bag varies depending on the route and departure dates chosen. Peak travel times, such as Christmas, Easter, and summer, will incur an additional fee. Before being charged an overweight cost per KG, a maximum weight of 20 kg is permitted.

Up to two hours before your flight, you can add an excess weight allowance to your reservation online for 9 GBP/EUR per KG, which is less expensive than the 11 GBP/EUR per KG you’ll pay at the airport.

### **Oversize and Overweight Baggage Fees on Ryanair Flights in 2023**

In accordance with Ryanair’s rates, terms, and restrictions, you will be responsible for paying a fee for the carriage of any checked baggage that exceeds your personal allowance, as well as for any sporting goods, musical instruments, and other items we decide to carry.

Instead of paying the increased overweight baggage tax at the airport if your suitcase weighs more than the 20 kg/44 lb weight restriction, you can purchase an excess weight allowance online at a discounted price (available until up to 2 hours before your departure). As opposed to 11 EUR/GBP at the airport, the discounted charge is 9 EUR/GBP per KG.

#### **Ryanair’s excess/overweight baggage fee for 2023 is €11 or £11 per kilogram at the airport.**

Mobility devices such as wheelchairs that operate on batteries
Electric wheelchairs are only permitted in the aircraft hold if the battery is unplugged, the battery is a dry or gel cell, and the wheelchair’s deflated dimensions do not exceed 81 cm in height, 119 cm in width, and 119 cm in depth. The passenger must provide us with instructions on how to disconnect the battery power and make sure that exposed terminals are safeguarded from short circuiting. Wheelchairs powered by wet cells are not permitted on flights.

* The aircraft’s interior does not allow the use of wheelchairs.
* Wheelchairs, scooters for people with disabilities, and walking aids are all carried for free.
* Mobility equipment is exempt from the 32kg maximum single item weight.
* Ryanair planes are not allowed to use stretchers.
* Given that the Montreal Convention from 1999 places restrictions on airline liability, we advise passengers to purchase comprehensive travel insurance coverage for their mobility aid.
