Let’s get nerdy for a second. The old free bag was 40x20x25cm. The new one is 40x30x20cm. The depth jumped from 20cm to 30cm.
That extra 10cm is huge. It’s the difference between a wallet and a real bag. You can now fit a laptop, a jacket, and a paperback without playing human Tetris.
Think of it this way: you gained 40% more volume. That’s not a typo. Your free space just grew by nearly half.
The "Ruler" Test Just Got Friendlier
Remember the dreaded Ryanair bag sizer? That metal cage at the gate? It used to feel like a trap. Now it’s a cozy welcome mat.
Your bag doesn’t need to be a squished sausage to fit. You can actually breathe while boarding. And no, you don’t need to remove your shoes, your dignity, or your firstborn.
One quirky detail: the change affects only Priority boarding customers. If you don’t pay for Priority, you still get this tiny-weeny free bag. But that bag just got tiny-weenier? No, it got bigger. You win either way.
