These are the free carry-on luggage dimensions you can travel with starting today on Ryanair

Said and done. At the beginning of the month, the low-cost airline Ryanair announced that it was increasing the size of the free carry-on luggage that passengers can bring on board to place under the seat by five centimeters. As of this Thursday, this measure has been implemented, allowing travelers to now carry a hand luggage of 40 x 30 x 20 centimeters. The company assures that this is 33% larger than the standard handbag size established by the EU, which is 40 x 30 x 15 centimeters.

The implementation starting this Thursday coincides with the airline, which is the leader in passenger numbers at Malaga airport with a 30% share of travelers, having finished installing the new larger hand luggage sizers in 235 airports across Europe.

Dara Brady, CMO of Ryanair, states that "we have modified the size of the luggage sizers at all airports to accommodate this larger free carry-on bag or suitcase." He reminds that those who wish to carry a second piece of hand luggage can do so by using our Priority Boarding service and warns that "any passenger who does not comply with these new and generous limits will have to pay the baggage check-in fee at the boarding gate. We hope our customers enjoy these larger free carry-on pieces."
