Customers can pool or share their purchased baggage allowance with other passengers
included in the same flight reservation when checking-in together.
For example, if a reservation has two checked bags of 20kg (40 kg in total) one of the bags
could weigh 15kg and the other 25kg (40 kg in total).

 Bag dimensions
Make sure your bag does not exceed 20kg. If you need to add extra weight, you can add up
to 3 extra kg to your bag during check-in online for €/£9 per each added kilogram. Any
passenger exceeding their personal check-in baggage allowance will be charged for excess
baggage at the rate prevailing on the day of travel. This is currently £/€11 per kilo (or local
currency equivalent) if purchased at airport ticket desk/kiosk.
For health and safety reasons Ryanair does not accept for carriage any individual item
exceeding 32 kilos or with combined dimensions of more than 81cms (height), 119cms
(width) and 119cms (depth). This weight limit does not apply to mobility equipment.
