So, what's the deal with the new policy? Essentially, Ryanair is trying to reduce congestion in the cabin by encouraging people to check in their bigger bags. It's like a big game of Tetris up in there, and they want to make sure everyone's bags fit neatly into the available space. And if you don't want to pay for the privilege, you can always opt for a smaller bag - just don't expect to fit your entire wardrobe in it.
The good news is that you can still bring a small personal bag onboard for free, as long as it fits under the seat in front of you. It's like they say, "good things come in small packages", and in this case, the package is a tiny bag that's just big enough to fit your phone, wallet, and snack. But if you want to bring a bigger bag, you'll have to pay a fee, which ranges from €8 to €25, depending on the route and time of booking.

Now, we know what you're thinking: "what about my laptop and liquids? Do I have to check those in too?" Fear not, dear traveler, because you can still bring your laptop and liquids onboard in your small personal bag. It's like they say, "you can't live without your laptop", and Ryanair seems to agree. Just make sure you follow the usual security protocols and you'll be golden.
