Hello everyone,
The day is fast approaching when I'll together with by girlfriend be flying to Porto to embark on my second Camino adventure!
However, my girlfriend recently brought to my attention that our backpacks might exceed the dimensions allowed for carry-on luggage by Ryanair. According to their policy, carry-on bags should measure 40cm x 20cm x 25cm, whereas our backpacks have a length of 49cm. Unfortunately, the backpad of the Osprey backpack we're using isn't very compressible in terms of length.
Considering the potential extra costs, as well as the risk of our luggage being lost or damaged, and the added waiting time at the airport, I'm hesitating about purchasing additional luggage space for check-in.
Now, I'm curious if any of you have had previous experiences with Ryanair and how strict they are when it comes to luggage dimensions. Your insights and advice on both the dimensions and the potential risks would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
