Ryanair’s new baggage policy comes into effect as from next Monday, the 15th of January, whereby non-priority customers must put their second larger bag into the hold – free of charge.

New reduced checked bag fees (and increased check-in bag sizes) have been introduced by the airline, which it said is to encourage more customers to check in bags and reduce the number of customers with 2 bags at the boarding gates.

Ryanair has introduced bag policy changes on all flights as follows:

The check-in bag allowance has increased from 15kg to 20kg for all bags.

The standard check-in bag fee has been cut from €/£35 to €/£25 for this 20kg bag.

Only Priority Boarding customers (including Plus, Flexi Plus & Family Plus) will be allowed to bring two carry-on bags on the aircraft.

The airline said that Priority Boarding can be purchased for €/£5 at the time of booking or added to a booking for €/£6 up to two hours (on Ryanair.com) and 30 minutes (on Ryanair app) prior to scheduled departure time.
