With Ryanair, can I check-in baggage whose dimensions total more than 115cm?
I wonder if I can check-in baggage at Ryanair that is more than 115cm in the total of 3 dimensions. My baggage is about 162cm and has so far passed 157 or 158cm limitations on other airlines.
However, Ryanair only accepts up to 115cm (55 x 40 x 20) for free, and the additional packages only mention the weight, not the size.
Can I check-in my bigger baggage at the check-in counter?
Best Answer
RyanAir does not have a size limitation to checked bags, it has a maximum weight but the bag can, in theory, be very large. The maximum weight varies from 15Kg to 20Kg depending on the route. If you exceed the weight limit then you will be charged 10 Euro per Kg over the maximum weight.
The size limit you are quoting is for cabin bags not checked bags, and each dimension is treated individually, so 115cm as nothing to do with this limit, your bag can not be longer than 55cm, wider than 40cm or thicker than 20cm, hence a bag of 60cm x 10cm x 10cm will not be allowed despite the outer dimensions being only 80cm.
RyanAir tend to be very strict on cabin bags and if your bag is too big then you will be forced to check it in and pay the fees required.
