Hiya
with Ryanair, you are allowed to have your hand baggage which is max 10kilos, then if you have booked check in baggage, the amount you have paid for in advance 15 or 20 kilo, usually. They do not add up or split it. IF you have booked 23 kilos, you may have 23 kilos to check in and an additional 10 kilos for the cabin. Summed up to 33kg of baggage! And nowadays even a fanny bag, pouch or something small, like a laptop case. Dimensions are on the website. I speak for Ryanair only, other airlines may handle it differently.

The Suitbag however, if it exceeds the dimensions of your cabin baggage, is handled differently. Since it takes up space, they might even ask you to purchase an additional seat, since you need that space and you do not want your suit to wrinkle. . . The cabin compartments above the seats are first come, first serve and people just stuff their things in there! (You definitely want to avoid that!)

Have couple of queries here. I would be having a big backpack that would by far go into checkin and also would be carrying a smaller backpack for day to day travel purposes. Apart from this, I would be wearing a waist pouch that would hold all my important documents and a suit bag since I would be travelling post attending a wedding.

1. Would my waist pouch that adds no weight nor would need to be stuffed into cabin area, be considered as a separate hand baggage? I would be wearing the waist pouch at all times.

2. If my actual checkin baggage is weighing less than the mandatory 20kgs, would my suit bag which is a separate piece of baggage but weighs only 1-1.5kgs, the total is under 20 kgs for example, would they charge my suit bag to be an extra checkin bag and charge me for it or would they allow me to go through considering the weight of my checkin bag and suit bag is within the allowed 20kgs in total?

The second query applies to Aegean airlines too whereby I would be buying the checkin baggage of 23kgs for my checkin baggage.

3. Also, the biz plus option says free airport checkin. In this case, the mandatory 5 euro charge (or whatever the current rate is) would not be applicable, right?

backpacks don’t have ridged sides so you can kinda cram them into the “template” if they check. It won’t won’t with a huge bag but if it sized close to the max size you can probably make it fit.
