Ryanair Excess Baggage Fees
What Ryanair charges for overweight bags, extra bags and buying baggage at the airport instead of online — from the official policy, checked 30 October 2026.
| Overweight bags | Excess weight fee charged per extra kg at the airport if a check-in bag exceeds its 10/20/23 kg allowance (amount set in Ryanair Table of Fees, not stated on the bag policy page) |
| Currency | EUR |
Your included allowance (for reference)
| Fare / class | Checked baggage allowance |
|---|---|
| All fares (add-on) | No checked bag included as standard; add 10 kg check-in bag, 20 kg check-in bag (up to 3 per booking) or 23 kg check-in bag (up to 1 per booking) |
Bag pooling allowed between passengers on same reservation; no single bag over 32 kg; max dimensions 80x120x120 cm.
How the charges fit together
Ryanair publishes an overweight charge when a single bag passes its per-bag limit. The charges are separate and can stack: a bag can be inside your piece count and still be overweight, and an extra bag paid for at the airport can cost more than the same bag bought in advance. Work through them in order — count your pieces against the included allowance below, weigh each bag against its per-bag limit, and only then decide whether buying extra allowance in advance beats paying at the desk.
The cheapest way to avoid these fees
In the Ryanair fare table we verified, the entry fare — All fares (add-on) — includes no checked baggage at all, so on this airline a checked bag starts life as a paid extra rather than an excess. Buy it with the ticket or in advance where the policy allows: the prepaid-versus-airport difference above is exactly the gap between planning the bag and improvising it at the desk.
