Ryanair is changing its baggage allowance rules at airports.
Ryanair will reduce the time allowed for checking in registered baggage at airports to 60 minutes before departure, starting November 10. This change does not apply to passengers with carry-on luggage, who account for 80% of travelers. According to the company, this will help avoid delays during peak hours.
The Irish low-cost airline Ryanair has announced changes to its passenger service rules, effective November 10, for passengers traveling with checked baggage.
From now on, baggage drop-off counters at airports will close 60 minutes before departure, rather than 40 minutes as they did previously. This was announced by the airline.
According to Ryanair's Chief Executive Officer, Dara Brady, the additional 20 minutes will give passengers more time to go through security and passport control, which is particularly important during peak hours at airports. According to the company's statistics, about 20% of passengers check in baggage.
These changes will not affect 80% of customers who only travel with carry-on luggage. For them, the procedure remains the same: after online registration, they can immediately proceed to the security check and gate.
