Respiratory Personal Device (RPD)

Carriage of a Respiratory Personal Device:

Assistive or non-oxygen generating support devices such as a respirator, nebulizer, ventilator, CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) or BiPap machine may be carried in the cabin of the aircraft without prior approval provided the item is within the cabin baggage dimensions. Passengers wishing to carry an RPD in addition to their baggage allowance (either checked and cabin) should obtain a Medical Equipment Baggage Waiver letter by calling the Special Assistance line. This waiver letter must be presented at the bag drop desk or at the boarding gate if travelling with no checked baggage.

Use of a Respiratory Personal Device during Flight:

CPAP machines are not permitted for use on board. If you wish to use an other type of RPD such as a respirator or nebulizer during your flight please contact our Special Assistance line to obtain prior approval, for the use onboard you will be required to complete a “Fit to fly form” which will be sent to the passenger once the requirement has been notified to our Special Assistance Line. This completed “Fit to fly form” must be returned to Ryanair between 14 up to 2 days prior to travel for validation. The validated “Fit to fly form” must be carried by the passenger on all flights and produced to our cabin crew on boarding the aircraft.

Some devices including but not limited to CPAP machines may not be suitable for inflight use and if you are unsure please contact the Special Assistance line
