Ryanair has expanded its underseat bag allowance by 5cm for travellers this summer. Starting Thursday, September 4, the new maximum size will be 40 x 30 x 20cm, compared to the previous 40 x 20 x 25cm. The update follows an EU ruling that requires airlines to provide a minimum free luggage allowance of 40 x 30 x 15cm. In response, Ryanair has increased the height by 10cm while slightly reducing the depth by 5cm. The move has been welcomed by passengers, as Ryanair previously offered the smallest underseat bag dimensions of any major airline flying from Cork, Dublin, and Shannon airports. To find out more, Alan Morrissey was joined by Gearoid Mannion, Ennis based travel counsellor. Photo (c) Shannon Group
