RYANAIR - Baggage allowance...

kossohead

Hi,

Flying with ryanair this week to Palma.

There are 2 adults and 2 children booked.

What hold and cabin baggage allowance are we allowed.

Also, the 2 children are aged 3 and 2 and we are taking a push chair each, what effect would this have on a allowance.

Many thanks

There is no checked or cabin baggage allowance for infants, however one fully collapsible pushchair per child is carried free of charge and does not need to be prebooked. Additional infant equipment such as car/booster seats and travel cots may be carried in addition to your personal checked baggage allowance at a separate fee per item/per one way flight. (click here for rate details)

Passengers travelling with infants who have checked in online and printed their boarding passes should take any checked baggage (including pushchairs/ infant equipment) to the Airport Bag Drop desk where it will be tagged and sent to the aircraft. The Bag Drop Desks close 40 minutes prior to the scheduled flight departure time.

Passengers who do not bring their printed online boarding passes to the airport will be required to pay a Boarding Car Re-Issue Fee in order to receive a new boarding pass. Click here for fee information

It all depends what you've paid for.

If you haven't paid for any, then you're entitled to ONE BAG (emphasis is mine, because many people fail to understand that one bag means one bag) per passanger carried as hand luggage, up to a maximum of 10kg and within certain dimensions that can be found on the Ryanair site.

Will Ryanair carry pushchairs if the children aren't travelling on infant tickets? Someone else will need to advise in this respect...

I've been looking into flights with ryanair and i find it confuseing too. so... without paying the bagage fee you can take one handluggage bag per person (does that include children too then yeah? 4 year old..... she has a trunki, it claims its hand lugage size, will we get away with that even though it looks like a suitcase?) Does a holdall count as hand luggage? like just... a small-ish type one? (like one you'd take to the gym or something)

I know... i sound like such a cheapskate, but i'm not happy we are having to travel as it is, we can't afford it and its an unexpected journey ( last minute wedding ) Its at the weekend, so the flights are more expensive, i couldnt believe that if we were to leave on a thursday instead.. it would only cost us £5 each!!!!! surely that isnt right? how can a plane fly people for only £5? thats including the the taxes..........

pretty much any item you carry onto the aircraft counts as hand luggage bar a coat, e.g. no checked luggage but a small suitcase and a holdall would count as two items, even to the point of one suitcase plus bag of duty free counts as two items. everything must fit into the one bag!

Add in credit card fees and baggage fees, plus sales to a captive audience on board (scratch cards, refreshments, etc) and you'll start to understand where the real money is made.

so then... if i were to take a small suitcase and just put my money, passport whatever in my pockets (so no handbag) i wouldnt need to pay the £10. that would be my '1 bag' ?

or even.... if my partner claims the suitcase is his... and the holdall is mine and the 'trunkie' is my daughters.... then that should be fine? and everything else in our pockets.

as far as I am aware that would be correct, but since I am one of those that pays to put my bag in the hold (commuting between 2 locations is never easy) i can't say for definate, am sure one of the other regular poster's can either confirm or deny this
