Panniers on Ryanjetbe

[fatblokish]

Does a pair of pannier bags, sellotaped, bungied or othewise strapped together, count as a single bag on Ryanair, Easyjet, Flybe and the like?

I've done this a few times and it's always been counted as single baggage. In fact, this year Scandanavian airlines has actually advised me to do this.

Just mind the weight. Nothing worse than having to unravel it all when it's too heavy...

I did this with Ryanair last year. Put the panniers in one of these Ikea bags with a bungee around it, I think they do a zipped version as well for about £1..then bin it at the other end. If no Ikea nearby they are on Amazon or ebay. No issues.

I've put a couple of panniers, tent plus a few odds & ends in a large cheap (about a fiver off the market) holdall before.

To avoid the bags catching / snarling on the conveyer belts avoid the bungee straps, gaffer tape is best. Flying back from my last tour I just used dustbin bags with gaffer tape, and even with a connecting flight, i.e luggage transfer the bags were fine.
