Ryanair vs easyJet — carry-on baggage compared | CabinPax

Carry-on rules side by side: maximum dimensions, weight allowance, personal item. Data updated April 2026.

Both carriers operate in the same league, so the gap on carry-on rules is more granular than philosophical. A few centimetres here, a kilo there — but real consequences at the gate.

easyJet pulls ahead on dimensions (56x45x25 cm versus 55x40x20 cm for Ryanair). When the carry-on is right at the limit, easyJet keeps the door open while Ryanair closes it.
