Ryanair currently lists 10 kg, 20 kg and 23 kg checked-bag options. The 10 kg Check-in Bag goes in the hold and must be dropped before security; it is different from the 10 kg cabin bag included with Priority & 2 Cabin Bags.
| Option | Published quantity or handling |
|---|---|
| 10 kg Check-in Bag | Drop at the airport check-in desk before security |
| 20 kg Check-in Bag | Up to three may be purchased |
| 23 kg Check-in Bag | One may be purchased |
Check your bundle before adding another bag
Basic includes the small underseat bag, not a checked bag. Plus includes a 20 kg checked bag. Family Plus has its own group inclusions. Open the fare definition and your reservation to avoid paying twice for an included item.
Prices and deadlines
This guide does not quote a universal fixed fee: the retrieved bag policy does not establish a single booking, overweight or gate price. Compare the actual quote for the bag option and each flight. Confirm your airport bag-drop deadline in the booking instructions before travel.
Packing example: a suitcase weighing 22 kg exceeds a purchased 20 kg allowance. Do not assume that the existence of a 23 kg product automatically upgrades your existing booking. Change the booking or repack before arrival.
