What is included in a Ryanair flight?

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. If you need additional baggage allowance, there are various options available to you.



A standard Ryanair "Basic" fare in 2026 remains ultra-minimalist, including only one small cabin bag (40x20x25cm) that must fit under the seat in front of you. It does not include a 10kg overhead bag, checked luggage, or a reserved seat; seats are randomly assigned for free during the 24-hour check-in window. To get more, you must choose a bundle like Regular (includes a 10kg overhead bag and priority boarding) or Plus (includes a 20kg checked bag). Onboard, everything is "a la carte," meaning you must pay for all food, drinks, and even water. There is no in-flight entertainment or Wi-Fi, so passengers are encouraged to download content beforehand. While the base price is low, the "high-value" strategy for 2026 is to pack light and bring your own snacks, as adding extras at the airport can cost significantly more than the flight itself.
