From 1 November, you’ll only be able to take one small carry-on bag onboard, unless you pay £6 for priority boarding in which case you can take a small bag and a bigger wheelie case.

This will change from the current rules where all customers can bring one small carry-on bag (like a handbag) and one bigger bag (like a small suitcase) free of charge.

Ryanair’s Kenny Jacobs, said: “This new policy will speed up the boarding and cut flight delays. 60% of customers will be unaffected by these changes and we expect the other 40% will either choose to buy Priority Boarding or a 10kg check-in bag or will choose to travel with only one (free) small bag as 30% already do so today.”

Here are the full pricing details for all flights from 1 November:
