The only option now is web check-in.   Bill Mathews Senior Member Username: Bill_mathews Post Number: 1206 Registered: 06-2003 Posted From: 173.71.47.192 Posted on Saturday, May 29, 2010 - 08:08 pm:    Ryan Air has a 10kg limit; around 22#'s. They can be strict and you might pay extra at the check in. Also check in (on line) in advance as there is an extra charge if you check in at the airport only... Their flights are cheap, but the extras can get you.   Stuart Heller New member Username: Modlbildr Post Number: 3 Registered: 04-2010 Posted From: 72.4.178.83 Posted on Friday, May 28, 2010 - 12:38 am:    Thanks to all of you for your expert advice.

It would take up the same amount of space as 2 30 lb bags anyways. The pax rep might tell you something different, but the pilots should be ok with it.   John D.

So, you would each need your own 30 lb bag.   Bill Terry Senior Member Username: Bill_terry Post Number: 662 Registered: 06-2003 Posted From: 72.216.34.240 Posted on Wednesday, May 26, 2010 - 05:08 pm:    Stuart - Depends....On the (military) aircraft and the size of the bag. On the smaller aircraft (Lear, Citations, etc) bags go in a small compartment or lift over the seats to a space at a rear bulkhead. I don't believe a 60 pound bag (which by it's nature would be big) will make it   Stuart Heller New member Username: Modlbildr Post Number: 2 Registered: 04-2010 Posted From: 72.4.178.83 Posted on Wednesday, May 26, 2010 - 03:26 pm:    I have seen lots of references to the 30 pound bag limit for both smaller AF jets and also Ryanair - question - if a couple traveling together uses one checked bag weighing under 60 pounds fit the restriction - or is there a size problem as well ? also is the 30 pound limit applied to just the checked bag or does it include a small carryon? thanks, stu
