How strict are Ryanair with checked luggage?

In my experience, they're very strict. Every time I've flown with them, they have a measuring guide and the bag has to easily fit in it - you have to slide it in with ease, you can't jam it in there. They make a LOT of money from charging people with oversized baggage...

For a short-haul flight where you are only taking hand luggage, checking in online saves a lot of time and is therefore much better than checking in at the airport. If, on the other hand, you have to check in bulky luggage, it is better to use the classic check-in at the airport for security reasons.


Do I still need to check in at the airport if I checked in online?

What to Do After Online Check-In. Once you receive your electronic boarding pass, you can head straight to security if you're traveling carry-on only.
