In a move set to delight frequent flyers and holidaymakers alike, Ryanair has dramatically slashed the price of its priority cabin bag option. The budget carrier's latest promotion offers travellers the chance to secure their overhead locker space for a fraction of the usual cost.
Substantial Savings on Hand Luggage
The airline's 'Priority & 2 Cabin Bags' package, which typically costs around £20 to £38 each way if booked at the airport, has been reduced to just £6 to £16 for those who book online during the promotion. This represents a staggering saving of up to 60% for passengers looking to avoid the hassle of checking in a suitcase.
What The Priority Package Includes
This sought-after upgrade provides several key benefits that transform the travel experience:
- Priority Boarding: Be among the first to step onto the aircraft.
- Two Cabin Bags: Bring both a small personal item and a 10kg wheelie bag into the cabin.
- Guanteed Overhead Space: Secure precious overhead locker space before it fills up.
- Front-of-Queue Privileges: Skip the longer standard boarding lines.
Why This Deal Matters
For Ryanair's standard fare passengers, the airline's policy only permits one small personal bag that must fit under the seat. Larger cabin bags require the purchase of this priority package. With overhead locker space being limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis, this deal ensures travellers won't face the disappointment of having their bag tagged and placed in the hold at the gate—often without any compensation.
How to Secure The Discount
The discounted rate is automatically applied to eligible flights when passengers select the 'Priority & 2 Cabin Bags' option during the online booking process. The offer is available for a limited time and applies to various travel dates throughout the year, though availability may vary depending on the route and demand.
Travellers should note that while the promotion significantly reduces the cost, the fee remains non-refundable should plans change. As with all airline offers, terms and conditions apply, and the discount is subject to availability.
A Strategic Move For The Budget Airline
This aggressive pricing strategy appears to be a competitive move to attract more customers during peak booking periods. By making the priority package more accessible, Ryanair not only generates additional revenue but also enhances customer satisfaction by reducing boarding conflicts over cabin baggage space.
For UK travellers planning their next European getaway, this offer presents an unprecedented opportunity to travel with more convenience without breaking the bank. The message is clear: now is the time to book that next flight if you want to bring more onboard for less.
