Can I take a Trunki on a Ryanair flight?

[Cliffordthebigreddog]

Hi, has anyone taken a Trunki on a Ryanair flight recently? My 2 children were going to take them as their free cabin baggage on our flight on Friday but now I’ve realised they’re too big according to the Ryanair website - does anyone know if they make exceptions for the Trunki? I’ve tried the Livechat on the website but (of course) they are too busy and can’t reply. Thanks

It doesn’t matter what people have done before… airlines can be very picky and I wouldn’t want to be stuck at the airport with them but being unable to take them.

If they are not mentioned on the website and are too big I would go with no you can’t take them.

Google says no

I got the same google result but you never know…..Thought it was perhaps worth asking about peoples actual experiences. Maybe Ryanair have realised they’re the only airline to ban them and therefore come to their senses…..maybe not?!

I'm sure they will happily take them on as the paid for 10kg cabin baggage but not sure why they would take them on as their free option. Yes its a bit annoying as we had a trunki night as a present just before they changed their rules but we now just use them for car travel.

We assumed we could in 2019. We couldn’t and had to pay on the way out. On the way back we put them in our pushchair bag for free to avoid paying the extra cost.

Thanks all, we’ll leave them at home then! It’s a shame as I know it keeps the kids happy in the airport! X

They are the work of the devil anyway so even if you could - don't bother as they are utterly rubbish

My kids always travel with their trunkies, they have always been accepted as hand luggage by all companies including Ryanair. Travelled with them in June 2021, no issues.
We hadn't booked the absolute cheapest tickets though, we had booked the least expensive of the various upgrades available.
