Step by Step
How to book your Drums on Ryanair
- Fully disassemble the drum kit and pack individual pieces in separate flight cases
- Check each bag stays within 20 kg and 81x119x119 cm
- Add the corresponding number of checked bags during online booking
- Pack hardware (stands, pedals) separately in a hardware case
- Arrive at the airport early — multiple oversized items take time to process
- Transport cymbals in a padded cymbal bag
Practical Tips
Good to Know
Check whether rental instruments are available at your destination — this is often cheaper and safer than flying a complete drum set. Ryanair's 20 kg per-piece limit is reached quickly.
