Does a Ryanair 10kg check-in bag have a size limit?

8.3.3 If you have paid for a 10kg Check-In Bag (weighing up to 10kg with maximum dimensions of 55cm x 40cm x 20cm), you can only take one small item of carry-on baggage on the plane. You must deposit the 10kg Check-in Bag at the bag-drop desk before you go through security.



Yes, Ryanair’s 10kg check-in bag (called “Check-in Bag”) does have a size limit.

The maximum dimensions are: 81cm x 119cm x 119cm (Height x Width x Depth)

This is a linear measurement, meaning the total of Height + Width + Depth must not exceed 320cm.

  • Example: A typical large suitcase measuring 75cm x 50cm x 30cm would be fine (total = 155cm).

Key Points to Remember:

  1. It’s Not Just Weight: While the 10kg weight limit is strictly enforced (with fees for excess), the bag must also fit within the size dimensions.
  2. Airport Check-in: This bag must be dropped at the airport bag drop desk before security. You cannot take it through security.
  3. Different from Cabin Bags: This is separate from your small personal item (40x20x25cm) and your 10kg cabin bag (55x40x20cm) if you purchased Priority & 2 Cabin Bags.
  4. Fees are High: If your check-in bag exceeds 10kg or the size limit, you will be charged excess baggage fees at the airport, which are significantly more expensive than purchasing the allowance in advance.

Always double-check on the official Ryanair website before you travel, as baggage policies can change. When booking or managing your booking online, you can see the exact specifications and add a check-in bag if needed.
