The maximum size of the small size bag must be no larger than 40x20x25cm, including handles. These must be placed under the seat in front of you and not in the overhead locker as these are reserved for people who have pre-booked a cabin bag.

If you turn up at the airport with any bag over the agreed small bag size stated, Ryanair will charge you €25 per bag.

If you are carrying any medicines that you will need during the flight, we advise that you have these already separated in a small clear bag, we also suggest you keep any travel documents and ID papers on you.
