They are already. Ryanair updated the dimensions of hand luggage to the EU. Thanks to this, you can already bring a backpack or bag 40x30x20, i.e. 5 cm more than before. Sizers should be slowly tailored to new requirements.
And the EU word has happened – as the president of Ryanair Michael O'Leary points out in an interview with Fly4free.pl, new luggage is still under the armchair, which “is ok for us”. The introduction of new sizers for checking the luggage dimensions turns out to be more calling. New markings are to appear on them within about a month.
The new dimension is 40x30x20 cm (earlier they were 40x25x20). These 5 cm more translates into an additional 5 liters, which can be taken with you on board the aircraft. Airlines do not charge fees for bringing such hand luggage. However, it is still supposed to be one piece, i.e. a bag, a backpack or a laptop cover.

This is a consequence of the battle that consumers started in response to detailed luggage controls in Ryanair. Subsidies for non -dimensional bags covered up to 80 percent. passengers of one aircraft. O'leary himself called the bags “ulcers on du.ie”. In addition, Irish airlines declared war trying to circumvent the bans and packing clothes even to the pillows, which they took with them on board the aircraft.
Spain became “paved earth” in a duel for luggage, in which the Ministry of Consumer Rights applied last year On five cheap airlines, a fine of 179 million euros for charging for hand luggage and space booking. Less than a month ago The Spanish judge ordered Ryanair to return 147 euros (times 5) to a passenger who had to pay extra for hand luggage inconsistent with the airline sisers. As cited in the justification, the court “hand luggage is an indispensable element of travel”, and therefore “cannot be subject to subsidies”.
