If you would like to bring more baggage as carry-on, your only option is to upgrade for "Priority Boarding" ahead of time, which allows you to bring a 2nd carry-on bag.
Option 1: Upgrade to "Priority Boarding", for a fee of between 6.00 - 35.99 GBP/EUR per flight, which entitles you to a 2nd carry-on bag (max weight 10 kg, max size 55 x 40 x 20 cm), in addition to the free small bag allowance.
If flying with only a little of luggage and don't need a full suitcase, you still have the option to purchase a small 10 kg checked bag allowance for a fee between 12-25 GBP/EUR if adding it to your reservation while making your original booking - otherwise, it will cost you 24-46 GBP/EUR when adding to your reservation later on or paying at the airport. This is the same as checking in a regular suitcase, just a lower weight limit and much cheaper. Keep in mind you will not have access to this bag while on the plane.
