The carrier’s website states: “On board, you can comfortably carry your essential and valuable items with you in a small piece of hand baggage.
“Please note, though, that there is only limited space on board, and that certain items are not allowed on board.”
Delving into more detail, it added: “Economy Class passengers may take one item of baggage (maximum circumference 56 x 36 x 23 cm, maximum weight seven kg) and one thin laptop bag with them.
“Business and First Class passengers may take two items of baggage (maximum circumference 56 x 36 x 23 cm, maximum weight seven kg) and one thin laptop bag with them.”
Therefore if a passenger pays more for a seat upgrade, they can take a total of three pieces of baggage into the cabin.
It added: “Please note that the rules are implemented consistently when boarding.
“Hand baggage that is too big or too heavy will be taken at the gate and carried as checked baggage, for which there is a charge.
“These charges are considerably higher at the gate and can only be paid by credit card.
“A foldable garment bag with the maximum dimensions of 57 x 54 x 15 cm can also be accepted as hand baggage.”
Meanwhile, a child seat and medical equipment are classed as other permitted items.
Ryanair recently introduced a savvy way travellers can beat their hand luggage rules with a new seat and luggage scheme.
Priority Boarding is a limited service, available for 100 passengers per flight, and promises travellers they can board the plane first as well as bring more luggage.
For those who miss out on Priority Boarding but still want to bring bigger luggage, they will have to opt for the check-in option.
The airline’s cabin baggage policy states: “As of November 1, 2018, Ryanair’s bag policy will change.
“Only priority boarding passengers will be permitted to take one small bag (40cm x 20cm x 25cm), plus a larger cabin bag (55 x 40 x 20cm) with a maximum weight allowance of 10kg into the cabin free of charge.
