Ryanair announced a new baggage policy in September 2017, which would have been applied from 1 November 2017. Although Ryanair confirmed today (24 October), that it will delay its new cabin bag policy until 15 January 2018.

The Irish airline wants to allow customers more time to adjust to the changes, particularly during the busy Christmas period. Ryanair’s new bags policy includes cuts to checked bag fees (from €35 to €25) to encourage more customers to check in bags and reduce the volume of carry-on bags.

From 15 January 2018:

– Only Priority Priority Boarding customers (including Plus, Flexi Plus & Family Plus) will be allowed to bring two carry-on bags on the aircraft

– All other (i.e. non-priority) customers will only be allowed to bring one smaller carry-on bag on board, while their second (bigger) wheelie bag will be placed in the hold (free of charge) at the boarding gate.
