Ryanair do allow the ?personal item? such as a camera or laptop bag or a woman?s purse. I mention those two because they are they are the biggest airlines in Europe. With most other airlines on intra-Europe routes you can get away with a (small) additional item. It is common to have to check in your roll-on at the gate (at no extra cost) if the plane is very full.
