Ryanair Passengers Urged to Buy One Essential Item Before Boarding – Here's Why
Ryanair's essential pre-flight purchase to avoid £70 fees

Ryanair passengers are being urged to buy one essential item before boarding their flights to avoid unexpected costs and ensure a hassle-free travel experience.

The budget airline, known for its strict baggage policies, has been reminding travellers to purchase a 10kg cabin bag allowance in advance if they plan to bring more than a small personal item onboard.

Why This Matters

Without pre-booking the 10kg allowance, passengers risk being hit with hefty fees at the gate—sometimes as much as £69.99 per bag. This can quickly turn a budget flight into an expensive ordeal.

What You Need to Know

  • Ryanair's free allowance includes only one small bag (40x20x25cm) that must fit under the seat.
  • The 10kg cabin bag option allows a larger suitcase (55x40x20cm) to be stored in the overhead locker.
  • Prices start at just £6 if booked during initial flight purchase but soar if left until the airport.

Travellers are being advised to plan ahead to avoid stress and unnecessary expenses. With summer holidays approaching, this simple tip could save families hundreds of pounds on their trips.
