Ryanair has revised its pricing structure for customers wishing to bring a larger cabin bag on board. At present, to carry a 10kg suitcase, travellers must pay for Priority boarding. Currently, customers are required to pay an extra fee for 'priority' boarding if they wish to bring a 10kg suitcase on board.
Otherwise, passengers are only permitted to bring a small personal bag measuring up to 40x20x25cm, which is included in the ticket price. The cost to upgrade to priority, which includes a small personal bag and a 10kg suitcase measuring up to 55x40x20cm, ranged from £6 to £36 when added to the original flight booking, reports BirminghamLive. Ryanair charges more to upgrade to Priority at a later date or at the airport.
This charge was previously listed on Ryanair's website as being between £20 and £38, however this has recently been updated to between £20 and £60.
