EU to Standardise Cabin Baggage Rules by Mid-2025 – Ryanair Increases Free Allowance

06 July 2025 Β· Europe Permit

      • πŸ“’ Starting mid-2025, the EU will standardise cabin baggage rules to improve passenger rights.

      • πŸŽ’ All passengers will be allowed one cabin bag (max 100 cm in combined size, up to 7 kg) and one personal item, free of charge.

      • πŸ›« These rules will apply to all EU-bound and EU-internal flights, including budget airlines.

      • πŸ’Ά The move aims to eliminate hidden fees often charged by low-cost carriers for carry-on bags.

      • βš–οΈ Recent action by Spain, which fined five airlines for excessive baggage charges, helped trigger the EU response.

      • πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§ Children under 12 will now sit with parents for free, and airlines must display all fees upfront.

      • 🧳 Ryanair announced it will increase the size of its free personal bag to 40Γ—30Γ—20 cm starting July 2025.

      • 🧩 This new size exceeds the EU’s minimum standard, offering more space for passengers.

      • ⏳ These rules are expected to be enforced by the second half of 2025, following final approval.

      • 🧠 Passengers should still pack efficiently, as airlines may gate-check oversized bags.
