Is Ryanair plus worth it? The difference in fare between a standard fare and plus isn't only the inclusion of a bag; you also get priority boarding, a reserved seat and you are able to check in online earlier with plus than a standard fare.

Ryanair Hand Luggage Allowance:One personal item, 40 x 25 x 20 cm, free of charge. 'Priority & 2 Cabin Bags' or 'Plus' customers may also bring on board a larger item measuring no more than 55 x 40 x 20 cm and weighing 10 kg or under.
Plus fares also allow you to check in for free at the airport up to 40 minutes before their flight. Note that you cannot bring a larger carry-on with this fare and don't have Priority access to boarding either.
To keep flights orderly and boarding smooth, airlines calculate that it makes sense for small children to board early with a parent and get settled before the anxious masses wanting an on-time or early departure.
Ryanair charges anywhere from £6/€6 ($6.5-7.5) to £30/€30 ($32.4-37.7) for the Priority & 2 Cabin Bags and €/£2 ($2.2-2.5) -€/£15 ($16.2-$18.9) for the reserved seats. So buying this fare is a much better deal in most cases.
What about Ryanair? Ryanair has a slightly different system. They do guarantee children that under 12 will be seated with 1 adult in their booking party but that adult must pay £4 to reserve a seat and the children are then automatically given seats next to them for no extra charge.
If you choose not to pay to reserve a seat, your seat will be assigned to you free of charge when you check in, between 24 hours and 2 hours prior to departure.
Only priority boarding passengers will be permitted to take one small bag (40cm x 20cm x 25cm), plus a larger cabin bag (55 x 40 x 20cm) with a maximum weight allowance of 10kg into the cabin free of charge. Non-priority customers can only bring one small bag (40cm x 20cm x 25cm), that must fit into the sizer.
Ryanair hold luggage allowanceThere's no hold luggage automatically included with a Ryanair flight ticket. Instead you have to buy luggage allowance when you book your ticket or at a later stage. ³ More on that - and the costs - later.
Adding Priority Baggage is quite simple and can be added at the time of booking, in your trip extras, or at check-in. If you have the Ryanair app you can add the upgrade to your bookings up to 40 minutes before you are due to depart, or using the website, up to two hours before your departure time.
If luxury and extra legroom is really important to you, book it in advance. However, if you're perfectly willing to fly economy class, and willing to roll the dice, a last-minute upgrade can be the cheapest option. You may even get lucky and score a free upgrade.
This is where high baggage fees come in. Ryanair knows that a large number of passengers will not want to travel with just a small bag. Fees made from these can start to make up for the money lost due to offering crazy cheap fares. What's the cheapest Ryanair fare you've ever purchased?
All our fares include one small personal bag which can be brought on board, such as a handbag or laptop bag (40x20x25cm), which must fit under the seat in front of you.
