Official baggage policy
How to use this policy

Check cabin bag dimensions, weight and personal-item limits separately. A bag has to pass every published limit at once; being under the length and width limit does not help if the depth, weight, or fare-specific allowance is tighter.

Editorial signal only. Leave margin instead of relying on discretionary gate behavior.

Ryanair liquids policy

Ryanair describes ordinary liquids in containers up to 100 ml, in one resealable transparent bag up to 1 litre. Flight-necessary baby food and liquid medicine have screening exceptions. Confirm current departure and transfer requirements.

Family & Infants

Infant (under 2)

No cabin allowance for lap infants; baby bag up to 5kg and 45×35×20 cm allowed.

Stroller

Two items of baby equipment may be carried free per child; confirm handling arrangements with Ryanair.

Car seat

May count toward the two free baby equipment items; cabin use requires separate approval.
