US EditionRyanair to increase size of underseat free bag by 20% following EU proposals
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 3 – Ryanair expands free personal item size by 20%, increasing volume to 24 litres, ahead of EU rules standardizing cabin baggage across member airlines.
- On June 5, 2025, EU member states agreed on guaranteed personal item dimensions of 40x30x15cm for cabin baggage placed under the seat.
- This agreement follows EU proposals to standardize baggage allowances and remove fees for small carry-on items, pending full parliament approval.
- Ryanair announced it will increase its free underseat bag size by 20%, raising dimensions from 40x25x20cm to 40x30x20cm, exceeding the EU minimum.
- A Ryanair spokesperson urged that passengers should have the authority to choose which services they receive and pay for.
- Ryanair intends to roll out the change shortly, coinciding with updates to their airport baggage measurement devices, to offer passengers larger and more clearly defined free baggage allowances.
