Budget airline Ryanair announced an increase in the maximum size for free cabin bags by 20%, allowing passengers to bring bags measuring up to 40cm x 30cm x 20cm without an additional fee.

• The new size limits come with a weight restriction of 10kg and will be implemented in the coming weeks.
• Ryanair is responding to new EU regulations defining minimum bag sizes for airlines.
• This change will result in Ryanair accepting bags that are one third larger than the new EU standard of 40cm x 30cm x 15cm.
