yannis D Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Question to folks who have experience flying with Ryanair to the UK. I travel with Ryanair to London next week and I'd love to take in the cabin with me my Korg MicroKey 61. Do u guys know if the Ryanair crew will let me take it onboard or they charge separately for it? I have purchased a 10 kilos bag for my clothes and another small bag (in this case maybe my M Audio with laptop/ipad). But the Korg I will eventually have to sneak it in... On the scenario where I buy a 100 euros option for my Nord Electro5d, do you know if I'll have to put it in the luggage? (I only have the soft bag so I prefer to take it in the cabin) I have done hundreds of fly in gigs all over the world but I always backline a Nord and I only carry on board the laptop gear, so pardon my ignorance, especially regarding Ryanair... Thanx in advance Quote Be grateful for what you've got - a Nord, a laptop and two hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o0Ampy0o Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 I would call and ask Ryanair but from online sources: Musical Equipment https://help.ryanair.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360017683877-Musical-Equipment Carry On Bag Policy https://help.ryanair.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360017824658-Ryanair-s-Bag-Policy Bag Rules https://helpcentre.ryanair.com/hc/en-ie/categories/9606890539537-Bag-Rules Bag Policy https://helpcentre.ryanair.com/hc/en-ie/articles/9625367910673-Ryanair-s-Bag-Policy- More Bag Policy https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/best-carry-on-bag-for-ryanair/ More Carry-On Info https://www.go4travelblog.com/learn/ryanair-carry-on-size/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yannis D Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 It's strict.. I might go without the Korg 61 and just bring the M Audio bag with the Arturia 25 keyboard in it. This fits under my seat. If I bring my Nord it has to be checked and I got no hard case for it neither do I plan buying one.... 1 Quote Be grateful for what you've got - a Nord, a laptop and two hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o0Ampy0o Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Probably a good plan. You might have ended up needing to buy another Nord even with a case. It can almost seem as though any indication of "Fragile" is the kiss of death. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoken6 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Ryanair will take every opportunity to charge you to check a bag into the hold if it doesn't comply with their policy. They quite literally pride themselves on poor customer service/reputation. https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/ryanair-trolls-passenger-leg-room-twitter-b2302024.html https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/ryanair-trolls-passenger-check-in-rules-b2281892.html Your Nord will definitely not be allowed into the cabin, even if you pay for an overhead cabin case. You might get the Korg 61 into a cabin case, but definitely not in an underseat bag. Cheers, Mike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yannis D Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 I only got the Nord, Mike 😅 But I too suspect they won't let me get it in... They're greedy in that respect (but still cheap in comparison with almost all the other air companies in ticket prices) Quote Be grateful for what you've got - a Nord, a laptop and two hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadroj Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 They’re so cheap because they charge you extra for literally every other single little thing. They’re self aware about it, it’s become meta on their social media and is the source of several memes. The Nord won’t get in your carry on, that’ll have to go in hold. Your bags have to be a certain size to go in carry on with Ryan Air. I’d call them and ask about the micro key, but chances are you’re going to have to shell out or stick it in hold. 1 Quote Hammond SKX Mainstage 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I am aware of their policy, as I have flown with them several times and it served me well (domestic flight were less than the bus prices for the same city). But now I must have my gear with me...
