Ryanair is introducing a new cabin bag policy from Monday which means passengers will have to pay €5 or £5 for priority boarding if they want to bring a wheelie bag or other large carry-on bag into the cabin. Ryanair spokesman Kenny Jacobs said the new policy will “eliminate boarding delays and improve our on-time departures”. Ahead of the introduction of the new carry-on policy, fees have been lowered from €35 to €25 (or £35 to £25) per check-in bag and the check-in bag allowance has gone up from 15kgs to 20kgs. Mr Jacobs said he hoped passengers will “enjoy this new and simplified bag policy”. He added: “This new policy is centred around lower checked bag fees and bigger bag allowances and we have notified by email all our customers travelling from Monday.”
