    Nop it uses batteries.

    Why on earth would it not be allowed in hand luggage? Battery powered radios and shavers do not involve liquids and can be included in carry-on luggage no problem. One in a while I get called out, the security guy asks for a second look and when I pull out my little radio, he clears me to go ahead.

    Hi,
    Can I carry in the hand baggage a 250ml Shampoo?
    Thanks

    No, 100ml is the maximum allowed liquid for hand baggage. Anything larger will be taken off you in security.

    I read on the internet that I can take up to 10 bottles of 100 ml, the problem is where can I find 100 ml bottles.

    If they're in jobsworth mode you won't get 10x100ml bottles through - all your liquids are meant to fit into a 1l bag when closed.

    I genuinely never realised this until someone at an airport pulled me up on it recently - I had to keep ditching my liquids until the bag they had supplied me with (mine was a freezer bag from home, and bigger than theirs) closed :mad:

    You can get 100ml bottles in the likes of Boots or Muji, and I'm sure pound shops and Dealz and that sort of place.

    Hey guys, had a quick search but can't find a definitive answer.

    Can I bring a backpack along with my carry-on bag with Ryanair or will I have to pay for one?

    Cheers.

    8.7.1 You may carry one cabin bag per passenger (no allowance for infants travelling on their parents lap) weighing up to 10kg with maximum dimensions of 55cm x 40cm x 20cm, plus 1 small bag up to 35 x 20 x 20 cms. (click here for Regulations concerning Cabin Baggage).

    In my experience Ryanair have completely relaxed on the carry-on baggage rules.

    I was on a flight during the summer and people carried on HUGE bags, that most definitely would not have fit into one of those cages or complied with the dimensions listed on the website. I have also taken on two bags before, that probably wouldn't have complied with the figures.

    So I'd say as long as you're not staggering under it, or knocking the person behind you over with the size of it, then yes, you would be able to take both on.

    But equally you could come up against someone who wants to implement the rules for whatever reason and then you're goosed, you'll have no argument.

    Personally, I'd have no problem risking it.

    I was done for £50 (pounds, fifty smackers!) on one flight where my correctly cabin-sized bag was a bit too bulgy. I wasn't going to argue, we were actually going through the gate at this stage. Mind you, my unexpressed but deeply thought curses probably caused blisters on the soles of the feet of the cabin staffer with her nasty smirk who charged this to me.

    Not doubting you for a minute, but was that before or after Ryanair did an about turn on their "De Rules is De Rules is De Rules" stance and became all fluffy and cuddly and customer-friendly? (Think it was about two years ago, and it still slightly freaks me out!)


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,542 ✭✭✭Duff


    Thanks for the speedy replies, guys. I'll risk it anyway!

    It would have been around or about that time. Not that I've found them *that* cuddly in my rare flights with them since; there's still a certain Kapo tone from the cabin staff when they tell you to put off your phone.

    Yeah, but they'll no longer have you escorted out of the terminal by security for having a letter wrong in your name, or a big bag, or two bags, or whatever!

    They can say whatever they like, however they like, once I'm in my seat :)

    Could you bring 1 laptop bag and a small rucksack?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,359 ✭✭✭Thephantomsmask


    You can now bring a bag and a personal item, I use a small backpack with no issues. A backpack and laptop case shouldn't be an issue if that's all you are bringing on.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 4,173 Mod ✭✭✭✭Locker10a


    Be prepared though, Ryanair allow passengers two items of luggage but the bigger of there two items may be check into the hold at the gate if the flight is busy ! This is free though

    Am travelling with Ryanair on Friday and need to bring a suit and wondered can I carry on a suit bag?

    It's a square bag, I know the dimensions for RA are 55x40x20; the suit bag is a lot thinner than a standard carry on, it's about 55x55 so a little wider than a carry on. But due to it's thinness it could go in the overhead compartment with room to put something on top of it.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 4,173 Mod ✭✭✭✭Locker10a


    Your best bet is to try bring it on board and get it on top of cases, if you're bringing a case with you too maybe have the case gate checked and explain to the gate staff you intend to fit it on top of bags in the locker.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,100 ✭✭✭eviltimeban


    Thanks, I'm not bringing any other bags save for a small over the shoulder bag (which you can bring on with hand luggage). I'm fitting everything into the suit bag.

    In that case just be super polite to the gate staff, explain your situation, and same again to the cabin crew. I'm not familiar with Ryanair aircraft but I know some airlines have space for what you describe your box as behind the last row of seats. If you are kind enough to the crew they may assist you with stowing it there. Although Ryanair may well stow emergency equipment behind their last row of seats.
    You can only try!

    Thanks, yes, I'm never anything but nice to staff when I fly. There's no point being otherwise. And I won't mind if they make me put it in the hold, I wouldn't make a fuss. Who wants to be that guy? :)

    Travelling from Dublin to Edinburgh for a weekend with only hand luggage. I want to take my hair straighteners. They are either babyliss or Remington can anyone tell me if these are okay or not?

    They were a Christmas present and I don't want them taken from me.

    Thanks.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,589 ✭✭✭shakencat


    Yes, all good. I always have my ghd with me when traveling!

    Hi, traveling from Dublin to LAX shortly with Ethiopian airlines. We are bringing our baby daughter and have paid the 10% fare. Not clear on the website if you can bring a baby car seat on for free as well as your buggy. Would anyone have travelled with a baby with them to advise?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,606 ✭✭✭schemingbohemia


    Might be quicker and more reliable to ring them and ask.

    Hello,

    Travelling to Belgium in a few weeks; will it be ok to have my laptop bag in the regulation-size handbag or would that count as 2 personal items? The plan is to put the laptop into my cabin-luggage once through security.

    Also, is a small umbrella allowed in carry-on luggage?

    Security don't give a monkeys how many bags you have.

    It's boarding the plane where number/size of bags becomes an issue.

    If your laptop fits into your cabin bag then no problem.

    Hello,

    Could someone tell me what airlines allow passengers to fly with a cat in the cabin? The flight would be Rome to Dublin.
    A few weeks ago I rang KLM (in Italy) and Lufthansa (in Italy) and their agents initially told me it was accepted.

    I rang both KLM (in Italy) and Lufthansa (in Dublin) today and now they both say that their pet policy doesn't allow passengers to bring pets in the cabin or in the hold! Only via cargo! That's totally the opposite of what they told me initially.

    The Irish Department of Agriculture told me that the Government doesn't put any restrictions and that it's at the discretion of the airlines whether they allow pets in the cabin or not.

    I read Air Lingus allows pets in the hold but not in the cabin. I haven't rung them yet so I don't know anything about their T&C.

    Is there any other company that I could contact?

    Thanks,
    Sandra

    I can't think of any that allow pets in the cabin.

    Aer Lingus only allow assistance dogs/animals in the cabin otherwise they're all in the hold. Worth noting also is that airlines can be very fussy about breeds which they allow in the hold for various reasons. Aer Lingus, for example don't allow Persian and other exotic cats in the hold, and there's a list of breeds of dogs not allowed also.

    Ryanair, I believe, don't allow carriage of pets at all.

    You could also look at BA via the UK, but again it's in the hold.
