Ryanair has updated its pricing for passengers looking to bring a larger cabin bag aboard, with immediate changes in their policy. At present, those wishing to travel with a 10kg suitcase must pay extra for Priority boarding. Alternatively, travellers can carry on just a small personal bag that measures no more than 40x20x25cm without any additional cost, as this is already included within the ticket price.
