If your baggage is overweight at the airport, you will be forced to pay excess baggage fees. These fees are priced per kilo and depend on your route. Excess baggage within Europe will cost €10 per extra kilo and for transatlantic flights, will cost €75 per bag.
Sporting equipment can be checked into the aircraft’s hold when flying with Aer Lingus. However, items are limited to one per person and must not exceed 23kg in weight. Within Europe, sporting equipment can be carried for approximately €40 per item each way.
If on a transatlantic flight, sporting equipment may be carried as part of the free checked baggage allowance. If carried in addition, a fee of €75 per item will apply. These charges apply to bookings made online only. Adding such items at the airport will be significantly more expensive. For further information on sporting equipment, please see here.
Musical instruments can be carried by hand as cabin baggage, if within the size and weight limits. Larger items can be checked into the hold, as per sporting equipment.
Aer Lingus is an undeniably affordable travel option if you are travelling with a small amount of luggage off-peak. However, if you exceed the weight allowance, book baggage at the airport or travel during peak periods, you may face considerable extra charges.

Second time that I have used the My Baggage service. All was smooth and on time, and the online support on a question on labels was responded to promptly and clearly. Price-wise very reasonable given the door-to-door service (when compared to excess baggage charges on flights). I would recommend without hesitation.

I have been using My Baggage for almost 3 years since my daughter went to Uni. Transporting her luggage from NI to Newcastle is much cheaper, easier and generally a lot less hassle than taking it on the plane. Tracking is super easy and even when or if you make a mistake in your booking there is a real life person to speak to who can sort it out for you 😊

I sent a large suitcase from Vancouver, Canada to a small town in upstate New York. The paperwork was straightforward. Online tracking was simple and detailed. And most importantly, they picked up my bag when they said they would—and delivered it when they said they would.
