Not a question that can be really answered. They are stricter at hub stations, than outstations. Buying luggage in advance tends be a lot cheaper than at airport. I have flown them lots of times (maybe 50 or so) and always been quite happy with their service. I think their baggage delivery stats are as good as anyone else. Ryanair are successful as their have a vary simple operation and gain a lot from that both financially and operationally. That includes baggage.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!
The size that you have quoted is for a personal item that must fit under the seat in front of you. If you buy the basic fare that is all that you are allowed. You will not be allowed to put your backpacks in the overhead bins. A cabin bag can be 55x40x20cm and up to 10kg.However, my girlfriend recently brought to my attention that our backpacks might exceed the dimensions allowed for carry-on luggage by Ryanair.

Yes. Your ospreys will be fine in the cabin.The size that you have quoted is for a personal item that must fit under the seat in front of you.

They would be fine as a cabin bag in the overhead (which is an extra cost for each bag), but they are too big to go under the seat in front as a personal item. It seems that the ticket that @JanusDT purchased includes only a personal item. I suggested putting both backpacks in one checked bag because that it less expensive than two cabin bags.Yes.

It depends on the airport policy. I flew back from Porto. Had a check-in ticket but there they said that wasn’t necessary. I could take it as carry on luggage even with my poles. And I saw other peregrines doing the same.That was this Spring. Maybe you can ask on one of the many camino forums if someone knows the Ryan Air policy at your airport of departure. Bom Camino.Hello everyone,

Airport policy determines what kind of items (liquids, poles, etc.) you can take on board, but it's airline policy that determines the size. Ryanair is very clear on what size bag is included in the fare.It depends on the airport policy. I flew back from Porto. Had a check-in ticket but there they said that wasn’t necessary. I could take it as carry on luggage even with my poles
Just pay for priority, so you get a 10kg bag allowance, as well as a small bag. We carried our 44ltr and 36ltr Ospreys onboard without any problem. To be honest, Ryanair never seem too fussy about precise sizes.Hello everyone,

Ryanair can be severe re baggage dimensions - or not: point being that it is unpredictable, so unpleasant in anticipation.Hello everyone,

I don't think that there many backpacks that would be big enough for the Camino within the specs for a Ryanair personal item of 40cm x 20cm x 25cm/ 15.75in x 7.87in x 9.84in.Or bite the bullet and change backpack to one that does not exceed Ryanair's.
Does that fit the personal item size?Amazon soft sided 'back pack suitcase' style for about 50 Euro.

Stuff as much as possible on to your carry on. Include the totally necessary items. Stuff the remainder of both your items into one backpack together with the other backpack. This way you will only have one checked in item. If disaster happens upon arrival the only thing having to be replaced are backpacks that are easily found at any sporting goods store.Hello everyone,

But @JanusDT's ticket doesn't include a cabin bag, only an underseat personal item.The Amazon Cabinmax works for Ryanair cabin baggage.
The volume of the personal item with those maximum dimensions would be 20 liters.Ryanair personal item of 40cm x 20cm x 25cm/ 15.75in x 7.87in x 9.84in
Just buy the cabin baggage size, it’s approx £25 each way and gets you speedy boarding also. Then you’ve got peace of mind. The smaller size is a woman’s handbag size only.Hello everyone,

I assume you are flying into Biarritz and if so, the wait for baggage is very small. You queue at passport control a fair bit unless you are first off the plane and if you are in a queue, your pack will be on the carousel waiting for you. To protect against damage, I purchased the £5 IKEA holdall, more than enough room for the pack. I then got rid of it as I wasn’t bothered about damage on the return journey back to the UK.Hello everyone,

Unfortunately, IKEA has stopped selling the zippered Frakta bag.To protect against damage, I purchased the £5 IKEA holdall
This is what I did last year. I bought alight travel bag which held two rucksacks and checked them as hold luggage. Cheaper than two cabin bags and held our poles.They would be fine as a cabin bag in the overhead (which is an extra cost for each bag), but they are too big to go under the seat in front as a personal item. It seems that the ticket that @JanusDT purchased includes only a personal item. I suggested putting both backpacks in one checked bag because that it less expensive than two cabin bags.

Agreed! There was a reason someone created the website ryanairisevil.com soon after the airline started.They’re strict. Don’t even think about it

The Ryanair restrictions re size of carry is like how long is a piece of string, if you asked me. I took a back pack this year, Dublin to Biaritz & ensured it was the correct size....I saw so many people with bigger looking bags & they had no bother...just walked on...I just it's the chance you take. I left myself short a few bits for the week long walk. For example I took a really small sleeping bag & was cold one night as a result. Then I chanced bringibg my walking pole (folded down) & stuck that onto my bag. I thought they'd be sure to take it from me as it's length was longer than my bag dimensions. Again Ryanair staff didn't bat an eyelid. It seems to me but don't take this as fact that if your bags looks in and around the dimensions (a little bigger even) without being a big bulky massive suitcase that you might get through. I guess it depends on there being room for everyones luggage in the overhead ultimately...MHello everyone,
