Ryanair includes one 40×30×20 cm underseat bag with every fare. For a second 55×40×20 cm cabin bag, up to 10 kg, your booking must include Priority & 2 Cabin Bags. The 10 kg limit belongs to the larger bag; this is not a combined two-bag weight limit.
Match the bag to the booking
| What you have | What to do |
|---|---|
| One bag within 40×30×20 cm | Use the free underseat allowance |
| A 55×40×20 cm bag, up to 10 kg | Check that Priority & 2 Cabin Bags appears in your booking |
| A purchased 10 kg Check-in Bag | Drop it at check-in before security; this is a hold bag |
| A bag larger than either allowance | Change your packing or buy an appropriate checked-bag option |

Priority is a fare condition
Regular, Flexi Plus and Time Saver include Priority & 2 Cabin Bags. Basic includes only the small bag. Plus adds a 20 kg checked bag; do not assume that a checked-bag bundle also buys overhead space. See the fare bundle definitions.
Example: a 55×40×20 cm suitcase on Basic needs an add-on even though its dimensions fit the Priority allowance. Buying another suitcase of the same size does not fix that fare restriction. Use the bag checker with your actual fare selected.
Before paying
Read the bag option and price in your own reservation for each flight. We do not publish a fixed booking or gate price here because the retrieved policy does not establish one universal charge. Measure the packed bag, including protrusions, then compare all three dimensions. A litre label alone cannot establish fit.
For the underlying dimensions and source record, open the Ryanair airline page.
