Ryanair has amended its cabin bag fee structure for those looking to fly with a larger carry-on bag. Those travelling with the budget airline must pay extra for priority boarding if they want to bring a 10kg suitcase on board. Currently, holidaymakers are only allowed to bring a small personal bag measuring up to 40x20x25cm on board for free.
