Flying with Ryanair

As a budget carrier, Ryanair typically offers very low base fares but may charge separately for checked baggage, seat selection, and onboard meals. Always check the total all-in price before comparing against other airlines.

📌 Pro tip: Always check the total fare including all fees when comparing Ryanair against other airlines. A slightly higher headline price from another carrier can sometimes be cheaper overall once you factor in baggage and seat costs.

🧳 Ryanair Baggage & Travel Tips

Before booking with Ryanair, always check the latest baggage policy on the airline's official website. Key things to verify:

  • Cabin bag size and weight limits — vary significantly between carriers and fare classes
  • Checked baggage fees — adding baggage at booking is almost always cheaper than at the airport
  • Seat selection policy — some airlines assign seats randomly for free, others charge
  • Check-in deadlines — most airlines close online check-in 1–2 hours before departure

Aircraft types on Ryanair’s network

Recorded against Ryanair’s published routes, most-frequent first. This comes from a scheduled-service dataset that is refreshed periodically rather than live, so it reflects the shape of the fleet — narrow-body versus wide-body, regional jets versus mainline — more reliably than it reflects any individual variant flying today.

Baggage, changes and fare conditions

Allowances and fees differ by fare brand, route and booking channel, and carriers revise them often. Rather than print a number that may be wrong on the day you fly, here is what actually varies with Ryanair and what to confirm before you pay.

Cabin baggageBudget carriers commonly include one small under-seat bag only; a full-size overhead cabin bag is usually a paid extra. Check the dimensions, not just the weight.
Checked baggageAlmost always priced separately, and cheapest when added at booking rather than at the airport.
Seat selectionAdvance selection is typically chargeable; free assignment at check-in is the fallback. Extra-legroom and exit rows carry a premium.
ChangesWhether a change is permitted, and the fee plus any fare difference, is set by your fare brand rather than by the airline as a whole.
Cancellation and refundsRefundability is a fare-brand property. Even on non-refundable fares, government taxes and some charges are usually reclaimable.
Name changesRules vary widely - some carriers permit a correction for a fee, others require a new booking. Check spelling against your passport at the time of booking.
Infants and childrenUnder-twos usually travel on a lap for a percentage of the adult fare; a seat requires a child fare and an approved restraint.
PetsIn-cabin carriage, hold carriage and breed restrictions differ per carrier and per destination, and some routes prohibit animals entirely.
Special assistanceRequest at least 48 hours ahead. Assistance is a legal entitlement in the EU, UK and US, but it must be booked to be guaranteed.

Where to confirm: the binding text is Ryanair’s own conditions of carriage and the fare rules shown at checkout. If your ticket is a codeshare, the operating carrier’s baggage rules normally apply to the whole journey.
