Ryanair has scrapped its policy of allowing two free bags in the cabin for non-Priority Boarding customers after too many customers were availing of their two free carry-on bags service.
As part of its “Always Getting Better” programme, Ryanair had allowed passengers to have one larger carry-on bag along with one smaller bag such as a laptop or shopping bag on their flights.
To counteract this, Ryanair announced that it will be reducing fees on checked bags by €10 to encourage more people to check bags on their flights.
The airline said high load factors in August meant that there was not enough space in the overhead cabin to accommodate all the luggage.
To encourage more customers to check-in some bags and reduce the volume of carry-on bags, Ryanair will introduce the following bag policy changes on all flights from November 1:
The check-in bag allowance will increase from 15kg to 20kg for all bags
The standard check-in bag fee will be cut from €/£35 to €/£25 for this 20kg bag
Only Priority Boarding customers (including Plus, Flexi Plus & Family Plus) will be allowed to bring two carry-on bags on the aircraft
All other (i.e. non-priority) customers will only be allowed to bring one smaller carry-on bag on board the aircraft, while their second (bigger) wheelie bag must be placed in the hold (free of charge) at the boarding gate
