Ryanair UK baggae allowances
I rarely fly with Ryanair, one reason being that their standard cabin baggage allowance is rather small.
So, I've just realised that I'm booked on a flight for Monday night with just the basic cabin bag allowance, which is too small for the photography bag I normally take into the cabin.
1. I'm happy to pay to upgrade to a priority booking to get a bigger cabin bag allowance but I suspect I'm too late for that - booking was via a 3rd party travel company and I'm waiting to hear if they can manage this or not.
2. I could just turn up and pay the extra 70 for a large cabin bag. Is it possible Ryanair will refuse to allow me to take the bag into the cabin? I'd rather not put a load of photography equipment in the hold.

It doesn't matter if you have made this booking via a third party. As long as they have provided you your PNR, you can use that PNR to login to your reservation on Ryanair website, and buy priority boarding (if still available) right there.
You will also have another opportunity to do so, when doing the online check-in on Ryanair's website. They will try to sell you plenty of things during the check-in process, amongst them will be priority boarding (if still available).
Priority boarding does sell out, but I believe it's very rare. That said, in your case it's definitely better to buy it sooner than later.

Thanks, unfortuantely, I don't have enough information from my travel company to access the booking myself and they have also checked me in already.
However, my travel company have managed to upgrade to a priority booking, so panic over.
