Let me try this in a more recent thread.
I would appreciate input from anyone with recent experience on Ryanair (after all the recent more-strict-less-strict changes wrt carryons). What have you see wrt. carryon sizes?
I have several US-carrier sized carryons that are close but slightly oversized (perhaps by 1cm on thickness or 1-2cm on height if including wheels). Nothing egregious, but we have 3 people and buying 3 carryon bags (that will be discarded after the trip) isn't really appealing.
Note: we do have priority boarding.
