Ryanair no longer charging for carry on

[KariannNor]

Just heard on the news that Ryanair is no longer allowed to charge for hand luggage, and has to pay back people, but they didn't say for how long back. I also have no idea if it also applies to e.g. Viueling. News about this in other countries?

Checked web can see no change in policy still charge.

Be sure to get your boarding pass printed before. Ryan Air wanted $15 each for a single one page copy.

It's only necessary for non EU passport holders to have a printed boarding pass.

I booked with Ryan in June for October flight. Very small carry on was free, but allowed size was so small that even my half full 25 liter pack loaded to 3.7 kg did not qualify. Had to pay additional $25

The ruling by the Portuguese judge seems ripe for an appeal.

I've never paid for hand luggage (backpack) on Vueling and I've been using them yearly for quite some years.

Never charged for small hand bag or small rucksack that stores under seat always charged for bigger cabin case so no change.

Thats right, for us not in EU, we have to pay anyway, for a digital one or printed.

I’m confused by your comment. I’ve flown RyanAir at least a dozen times and have never paid to print my passport at home. Yes, you can wait until you reach the airport and request them to print it as an additional service for a cost, but that is not required. As for digital, as a non-EU, that’s not an option either for pay or free.

@trecile referred to a Ryanair requirement for non EU/non EEA nationals to present a printed boarding pass that the Ryanair desk at the airport would stamp. I think that this is or may have been only the case during certain transits. It does not and did not concern Norwegian passengers who are EEA nationals.

Like @trecile I am a bit sceptical about these news. I don’t think that these recent isolated court cases in Spain and Portugal have immediate consequences for Ryanair’s fee structure as a whole or for departures in other countries.
