On Thursday (September 4, 2025), Ryanair announced that they have completed rolling out larger carry-on bag sizers at 235 airports across Europe.  All Ryanair passengers can now bring a bigger, free personal bag (40 x 30 x 20cm), which is 33 percent bigger than the EU standard free carry-on bag which is (40 x 30 x 15 cm).  Ryanair allows each customer to bring one free personal bag on board, but these bags must fit under each passenger’s seat.  If customers wish to bring an extra full-size carry-on bag, they can do so by purchasing Ryanair’s Priority Boarding service.


In Thursday’s announcement, Ryanair’s Chief Marketing Officer, Dara Brady, said,


“From today (Thurs, 4 Sept) Ryanair’s new, bigger free carry-on bag is now 33% larger than the EU standard.  Our bag sizers at all airports have now been “resized” to accommodate this bigger, free carry-on bag.  All passengers wishing to bring a second carry bag can do so by availing of our Priority Boarding service, and passengers can also purchase check-in bags, should they so wish, during their booking process.  We hope our customers will enjoy these bigger, free carry-on bag sizes, but any passenger who fails to comply with these new generous limits, will be required to pay the checked in bag fee at the boarding gate.”
