Cieran Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 I'm flying with Ryanair to Croatia later this month to go to a festival and was wondering how it works when bringing a tent, ideally it'll be strapped to my rucksack! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Child Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I'm off to Sziget tomorrow, although I am flying with Norweigan Air, I've managed to fit my tent inside my rucksack. I was thinking of plastic wrapping it then to make sure none of the buckles/straps get caught in the baggage system. Are you able to fit the tent inside the rucksack? Mine takes up about half the inside space but I only need toiletries and clothing so am fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero_Newnab Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Another Sziget goer, and another Norweigan Air flyer here - Last year I attached my tent to my bag very firmly with straps and stuff, and then checked it in as my one bit of hold luggage. It wouldn't go on the converyor belt so they took it on a trolley which they usually use for like, chellos and other weird shaped luggage and it was fine. Not sure if Ryanair will be as accommodating though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive got nothing attached to the outside of the bag so will just tie up the straps and see how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted2noise Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I flew to a festival in Holland with Ryan Air recently and they seemed to have relaxed a little on baggage restrictions. The tent will need to be checked but If your rucksack is under 15kg you should be able to carry it on the plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrillhouse Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I managed to take my tent on as carry on when I went to werchter. Not sure how strict Ryanair are though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
