Ryanair Family Plus Baggage rules

Correct. You all get priority boarding with 2x carry on but only one 20kg checked bag, You can add further 20kg bags if required.

4 people need 60kg+ of luggage for a 2 week holiday! What are you bringing that weights that much? I relocated for several months with only a 20kg bag and carry on.

2+2 is still getting 1x20kg checked in + 4x10kg carry on. 60kg is way more than enough!!

Exactly that - shoes, liquids etc. in checked bag. Very few people will not overpack, including us, but we've done two weeks 2+3 with one 20kg checked bag and a 10kg each, with room for presents coming home.

i just booked flights to France for summer for 2+3

took the value no frills fare, then added 2*20KG + got 5 small bags so i saved prob 150e

so if you need 50kg of luggage (3x10 + 1X20) then why do you not just get a value fare then add 2x20 & 1x10

if you look at what the family needs as a whole and add it separately i bet it will always be much cheaper

the prob with these easy click buttons is it gives every family member the same..

Query on the family plus. It is 1x20kg and 4x10kg checked in bags in my case. On the website it says you can pool baggage allowance as long it is on the same booking. Can you bring 2 x 25kg bags?

Do you remember what flying was like before the likes of Ryanair. I think it is perfectly fair if you want more luggage pay a higher price.

So long as pricing is clear and upfront I don't have a problem

Sharing bag allowance

Customers can pool or share their purchased baggage allowance with other passengers included in the same flight reservation when checking-in together.

For example, if a reservation has two checked bags of 20kg (40 kg in total) one of the bags could weigh 15kg and the other 25kg (40 kg in total).

while it says you can share allowance in the example above 25 & 15 on the next paragraph it says you can’t go over 20kg.

my main question is can you have 2 x 20kg bags? As opposed to 1 x 20kg and 2x 10kg.

A slightly different question: I am going to Manchester soon, and I have a seat booked (Ryanair), which entitles me to a 10Kg overhead bag plus the smaller under-seat bag.

Ryanair doesn't say it in their website, but I understand that if you buy stuff in the duty free shop, you can also bring that duty free bag on board - in addition to the 2 bags you have paid for.

Am I correct?

Then purchase more bags! You fail to understand that by allowing passengers to choose how much they want to bring starting from a small bay to be stored at your feet, proceeding through a 10kg bag in the overhead through to full-size bags in the hold, it means that people who wish to carry little baggage don’t cross-subsidise those who have a want or need for more. Should each ticket assume 3 on board drinks for each person? It’s the same analysis.

We booked family plus for 4 of us. Which allowed 1 x 20 and 4 x 10. 60kg total.

We brought 2 x 20kg and 1 x 10kg. The person at the check-in at Shannon, checked them in grand. But said to pool the weight you need everyone to check a bag (i.e 4 bags) and that could be an issue coming back from France, so check in another bag, even if it is empty. We check in another bag on the way back with just towels. But it wouldn’t have been an issue coming back either, you man was grand. But it might be if you get a cranky person at check in.

the 10kg's must be checked in. The only carry-on items you are allowed is your small personal item, i.e. underseat bag
