The Magma bag is oversized in width by about 5cm that's why I'm asking if anyone has personal experience on Ryanair.

Anybody flown Ryan Air with a Magma 150 record bag and had a problem? I've got two gigs lined up in Europe and not sure if it can be taken on as hand luggage. Really don't want to put in the hold if I can help it.
