Ryanair changes its luggage rules: how not to be delayed for your flight

Ryanair is advancing the closure of its baggage drop-off counters to one hour before departure starting November 10. The company's CEO predicts a price increase of up to 20% by 2027 due to rising jet fuel costs.

Low-cost airline Ryanair has announced a significant change that will affect passengers with luggage. Starting November 10, baggage drop-off counters will close a full hour before departure, instead of the previous 40 minutes. The change is intended to give passengers more time to go through security and passport control, and to reduce the number of latecomers. According to the company, about 20% of passengers are affected by the change. Meanwhile, Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary predicts a fare increase of up to 20% by 2027, due to rising jet fuel prices amid the war in Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
