I wanted to go and get it myself, but RyanAir won't let me carry it on board even if I pay an Extra Item Seat.
How come? Is it too big as carry on luggage or did they give you some other excuse?Just looked at their figures, if it was inside a box it would prob be too big as carry on - by a few millimetres.
"Strictly one item of cabin baggage per passenger (excluding infants) weighing up to 10kg with maximum dimensions of 55cm x 40cm x 20cm is permitted."
But surely you could have bought a seat for it?
You can carry it as hand baggage if you put it a thin plastic bag, but definitely not with the shipping box. But then no space for anything else.
But I have 2 boxes, so need to buy an Extra Item Seat as they call it.
Spoke with RyanAir 2 times about it to establish what are the dimensions allowance for it: 1st the lady on the phone was a little rude and said I can't take it as it will not fit in the seat and cannot put the belt around it. Not true.
2nd time the women on the line was more helpful and even put me on hold to confirm what I asked: so if I pass security they will let me take it on board, but will have to buy 2 extra item seats for each box. Or maybe just one and get the other one under my own hand baggage allowance.
I have to look at ticket prices again and see if its worth it (London - Stockholm) - 1 single on the way there and 2 or 3 singles on the back back.
