Ryanair is notably strict with carry-on size. Your main piece of hand luggage must fit within the dimensions of 40cm x 20cm x 25cm to be allowed under the seat in front of you for free. For additional luggage that fits in the overhead bin (up to 55cm x 40cm x 20cm and 10kg), a fee applies unless you have purchased Priority & 2 Cabin Bags. Ensuring your bags meet these specifications before heading to the airport can save time and avoid extra charges.
