Step by Step
How to book your Violin on Ryanair

- Politely inform gate staff about the delicate contents
Practical Tips
Good to Know
Ryanair enforces cabin baggage dimensions strictly. A compact violin case is usually tolerated, but there is no guarantee. Priority Boarding increases your chances of overhead bin space.
Frequently Asked Questions
