  • Sports Equipment: Charges for items like golf clubs, skis, and bikes typically start at €40–€60, depending on the size and weight.

6. How to Save on Baggage Fees

• Pre-book baggage online: Ryanair offers lower rates for checked baggage and cabin bags when you book them online in advance rather than paying at the airport.
• Avoid excess weight: Weigh your bags ahead of time to avoid overweight charges.
• Use Priority & 2 Cabin Bags: If you need more than one cabin bag, purchasing the Priority & 2 Cabin Bags option can help you save money compared to checking in an extra bag.

7. Baggage Claim
