Bags for Ryanair’s Free 40×30×20 cm Allowance

Ryanair's free allowance is now 40×30×20 cm under the seat. A smaller bag you already own can still be suitable; the larger allowance is not a reason to replace it.

A model with matching published dimensions

Cabin Max Metz 24L, 40×30×20 cm is listed at 600 g with a suitcase-style opening. These nominal dimensions match the Ryanair free allowance. We have not measured a physical sample, so check the packed shape and the exact product version.

Do not confuse it with the Metz 20L, 44L, Hybrid or expandable versions. A shared range name does not mean the same dimensions. In particular, expansion can change whether a bag fits.

Check before purchase

1. Measure the bag you currently use when packed.
2. Compare all three external dimensions, including protruding pockets.
3. Decide whether your laptop and essential items fit without bulging.
4. Compare a smaller-bag option with the actual price of Priority if you need more capacity.

A bag marketed at 24 litres is not a promise that your packing list will fit. Nor does buying a “Ryanair bag” include Priority. The larger 55×40×20 cm, 10 kg overhead allowance requires that option in the booking.

Use the Ryanair checker with Basic selected for the free bag. No model on this page has a guaranteed gate outcome.
