    https://www.ryanair.com/ie/en/useful-info/help-centre/faq-overview#1-7. Only concern would be the liquid. Is it under 100ml? If not make sure it is labelled from the pharmacy that you got it from. Was told in Heathrow that prescribed medication is excempt from the 100ml/need to fit into plastic bag.

    +1 and baby food but as advised, make sure that you have the pharmacy label and if that's stuck to a box, put the bottle into it and bring that with you. Be sure to declare it when you get to the scanner, otherwise an officer having a bad day could get stroppy and delay you with a lecture.

    The pills won't be a problem, I've never seen anyone pulled over at security and made to account for a bottle of tablets. Believe me, if pills were considered a security risk, none of us would be able to travel anywhere because the security queues would move even slower than they do now.

    Hello folks!

    Question for you all, unfortunately last night I was admitted to A&E with bad tonsillitis and am now out of the hospital thankfully after being on drips all night and have been given the clearance to fly.

    However, I am now on a crazy amount of tablets. I have 4 boxes and a mouthwash sort of thing. Nearly 45 tablets for my short 3 day trip. I'm flying from Dublin to Birmingham via Ryanair in 3 days time and using only hand luggage.

    I've asked in both hospital and my pharmacist as to if I would need a letter or proof to fly with these and neither had any ideas as to what would happen and doubted I would need anything as the boxes obviously have my name and the pharmacy dosage sticker etc. I have no letter except for my hospital discharge letter and a work sick cert.

    Could anyone please shed some light on the situation?
    Thanking you.

    Perhaps consider booking priority boarding if you require to keep your medication with you at all time, a limited number of Cabin Luggage will fit in the cabin and may be gate-checked, if you require your medication during the flight and your bag is gat-checked you will NOT be able to access it so if you require access at all time to your medication perhaps book priority boarding to ensure space for your bag as lockers fill up on a first come first serve basis

    Another option would be to have it in a small bag in your carry on that you could take out and bring with you if your carry on is put in the hold.

    Traveling from Dublin, would a travel kettle be ok to take in hand luggage past security ?

    If not, does any know if you can purchase one after security in Dublin ?

    Water ? You are not going to have the kettle full of water ? :p

    OP you can bring a kettle. Or any other household appliance practicially that will fit in your carry on really... a cable cant do much damage to anyone.. a strange item ? Every house in Ireland has one not strange at all... airlines will have a list of prohibited items available on their website anyway... happy travels...

    Yes, you can bring it through security no problem. I have done so. You can normally buy them after security too but there are normally quite expensive so it is probably better to buy before traveling. '

    I'm looking for a carry-on case. It needs to be compliant with SAS, Aer Lingus and Ryanair.
    Any particular brand I should look at? A preferred shop?

    Plenty of options available out there if you bring your measuring tape. Debenhams have a good range and there are plenty of specialist luggage shops in the big shopping centres and downtown. Brands like Samsonite are expensive but very robust, you get what you pay for.

    If it's a wheeled case you want, make sure the wheels are at the corners, not close together in the middle or it will tip over all the time.

    Personally, I prefer wheeled cases that you can also wear as a backpack.

    Travelling with Ryanair on Friday. Worried about the carry on size. The bag I always use as carry on (on other airlines) is 8cm deeper than the 20cm stipulated on the Ryanair website. (50cmx40cmx20cm). I'm worried they will try to charge me. Also wondered will a small backpack be allowed as the smaller 2nd carry on permitted?
    Daughter's carry on is 4cm too wide at the footplate (wheel unit). Are they likely to reject this also? Can't afford to pay €50 per bag. Have not flown Ryanair before so concerned about the stories I've read about them.
    All advice would be appreciated. :-)

    Ryanair don't seem to be as strict lately regarding oversized bags as they once were from what I have seen anyway.

    If you can't afford to take the hit on the charge if the bags are oversized, I'd suggest trying to beg/borrow/steal some carry on luggage that does meet with the requirements. While they might let it slide, there's an equal (or greater) chance they won't.

    There are stipulations also for the size of your second bag. It's generally the likes of a small handbag or similar (35cmx20x20)

    The spray definitely isn't. My husband used it on a long flight recently.

    Ryanair push e-cigarettes on board, don't they? Or at least they used to (don't recall them doing this recently).

    They were smokeless inhalers, and haven't been sold onboard in a number of years.

    Anything which emits smoke/vapour, scented or not is not permitted.

    Hello, im new to the forum, i found it looking for information about ryanair!
    I am flying for the first time in twoo weeks with ryanair and due to the things im reading i git really confused! i am aware about the first bag allowed in the cabin..... but what about the second one?
    I wish to take my 17in. laptop with me and the case is a bit larger than the allowed 35x20x20.
    a lot of people say though that a laptop bag is ok. i will not have a problem or get checked?
    how a laptop that big fits on the metal stand that they have to measure the bags?

    Thanks in advance for any answers

    You'll be grand. Have brought a laptop bag twice as my second carry in. No one even looked at it. That was in the busy summer months as well.

    Locker. Since when have inhalers been generally banned on airlines? What airlines " generally" allow or don't allow them? I have flown to Europe, USA,Indonesia in the past and have always been able to use nicotine inhalers (use very few 1 or 2 on long haul flights). Will I have to switch to patches or gum which I do not like in future?
