However, additional bags can be added later via Ryanair\u2019s website, app, or at the airport for an extra fee. Cabin bags will be checked at the airport to ensure they meet the required size limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Baggage<\/th><th>Price at the Time of Booking<\/th><th>Post-Booking<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Priority &amp; 2 Cabin Bags<\/td><td>\u00a36 &#8211; \u00a336<\/td><td>\u00a320 &#8211; 60<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>10kg Check-in Bag<\/td><td>\u00a39.49 &#8211; \u00a344.99<\/td><td>\u00a323.99 &#8211; \u00a344.99<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>20kg Check-in Bag<\/td><td>\u00a318.99 &#8211; \u00a359.99<\/td><td>\u00a339.99 &#8211; \u00a359.99<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Excess Baggage Fee (per Kilo)<\/td><td>n\/a<\/td><td>\u00a312<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fee for Special Declaration of Valuable Baggage<\/td><td>n\/a<\/td><td>\u00a350<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Infant\/Child Equipment (car seat, booster, travel cot)<\/td><td>\u00a315<\/td><td>\u00a320<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Musical Instrument<\/td><td>\u00a350<\/td><td>\u00a365<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few exceptions to the policy. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Duty Free purchases, which can be brought into the cabin along with your hand luggage. We reached out to Ryanair and they confirmed that there is no limit to the amount of duty free bags you can bring aboard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A baby changing bag up to 5kg.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyparksecure.com\/blog\/airport-security-hand-luggage-liquid-allowances\/\">Medical items<\/a>, provided you\u2019ve contacted Ryanair\u2019s special assistance line in advance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you have reduced mobility and have pre-booked airport special assistance, you will be able to carry both pieces of your cabin baggage into the cabin with you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 items of infant\/child equipment are allowed free of charge per child. 1 pushchair plus one of the following items: car seat or booster seat or travel cot<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Avoid the Ryanair Baggage Fees:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure everything you\u2019ll need in the air will fit into a bag sized 35cm x 20cm x 20cm, opt not to bring a second bag if possible and make Ryanair aware in advance if you need special assistance\/medical equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And check out our post on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyparksecure.com\/blog\/ryanair-baggage-allowance\/\">The Best Bags to Beat Ryanair\u2019s Baggage Allowance<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check-In Charge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The online check-in time is between 48 hours and 2 hours before your plane departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t check-in within this window, you\u2019ll be charged a check-in fee of \u00a350 per person at the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Avoid to the Check-In Charge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Set a reminder in your calendar or on your phone two days before your flight and make sure you check-in there and then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boarding Card Reissue Fee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ryanair\u2019s boarding pass reissue fee is \u00a320 per passenger. Passengers are charged the fee when they have checked in online but cannot present their boarding pass at the airport. This could be due to losing their paper copy or they didn\u2019t download the Ryanair app or their phone battery has died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Avoid to the Reissue Fee<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way is to check-in using the Ryanair app. Download it as soon as you book your tickets. Purchase a portable phone charger regardless if your phone has a good battery life. It\u2019s better to be safe than sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Name Change Fee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you spell your name in any way other than how it appears on your passport, or if you want to transfer the ticket over to someone else, you\u2019re looking at paying Ryanair\u2019s most expensive charge by far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you realise before getting to the airport, you can make the change online for \u00a3115.
