Ryanair has announced a 20% increase in the size of the free 'personal' bag allowed in the cabin, effective for the summer holiday season. The change applies to UK passengers and aims to ease the stress of fitting hand luggage into metal bag sizers, which often result in heavy fees for oversized bags.
The airline's new policy allows a larger free cabin bag, though specific dimensions have not been detailed. This move comes as other budget airlines align with EU regulations on hand luggage, potentially prompting similar adjustments across the industry.
Passengers are advised to check Ryanair's updated baggage rules before travel to avoid penalties. The change is expected to benefit those who struggle to pack light, offering more flexibility for summer trips.
