Help me pack ten days in ryan air under Seat

Or she could knot them together and wear as a scarf.

But you also get to wear your knickers around your neck in a pillow!

Which is fine, until she wants to go to the toilet......

I can't believe people go to this sort of hassle to save a few quid. But how about wearing a coat with decent pockets on the plane and putting some of your luggage in there?

foldie travel bag.

take minimal toiletries and buy at destination.
take 3 days worth of clothes and be clever sbout handwashing/airing clothes.

you have had loads of good advice - just wanted to add that I managed 7 nights in Spain as a size 28 woman (no longer - hurrah!) so my clothes were bigger than average! I did have to rinse through some underwear but that was all. Wear the heaviest things you're taking and work it back from there. I also did 5 nights in Lithuania at size 22 - that was harder 'cos it was colder and I needed jumpers but managed!

Wear your swimsuit on the plane under your clothes, then you could fit in another piece of clothing.

Sounds miserable AF! I have used a squishy small under seat but only for a weekend away. I’m not a big packer but don’t want to be washing knickers in a sink 🤦‍♀️ people saying buy coordinates and toiletries - that’ll be more expensive than paying for an overhead carry on!! If you don’t want to check in because of waiting for baggage reclaim then that’s a good compromise.
When we went away as a family we had 2 big cases between 4 of us and everyone had their carry on - although wasn’t Ryanair.
For some who say ‘do you love Michael O’Leary?’ - you can only fly Ryanair to certain airports.

It’s the people suggesting spending £50 on pants, toiletries, swimwear and flip flops at your destination that you will then need to bin in over to ‘save £60’.

Also are you using a bag which properly maximises the space?

People suggesting buying clothes and toiletries at the other end and then throwing them away, it sounds so wasteful.

If you can’t pay for a cabin bag, how can you afford things once you arrive? Unexpected costs etc? It does not sound like much fun at all. And I am just adding my opinion to a discussion. That’s how this place works!

I was looking at a post on Instagram the other day called “packing sudoku” - give it a look! I think you can do it :) https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZYFfdYs77X/

Exactly. Once you've bought all your toiletries, flip flops, towel, adapter etc, you've probably saved hardly anything plus you've got the hassle of trawling round trying to find all this stuff for a reasonable price and the waste of leaving it all behind to be thrown away.

Are you travelling alone OP? IF not, could you share a hold bag with your travelling companion (on Ryanair, a 20 kg hold bag often costs hardly anything more than 10 kg in the cabin so much better value). Surely the cost of a bag is a small percentage of a 10 day holiday so worth the cost to not have a the hassle of worrying about going over your luggage allowance, having to buy things you already have at home, making do with a limited amount of clothes and needing to keep up with laundry when you're supposed to be on holiday.

It’s just extra mean! Pay for luggage. Or use a decent airline! Do you like Michael O’Leary? Why support his empire?

Some people like to see other countries. If you don't that's fine but is it that hard to understand not everybody likes the same things as you?

If you have to buy all the toiletries - and presumably throw them away - have you really gained much from bit just paying for another bag?
unfashionable but I love a wide thin scarf / pashmina - packs tiny, or you wear it, and it does lots of jobs

We do it all the time as we like to go away a lot but we don’t like to pay for luggage. In hot countries it’s easier but I wear the heavy stuff and tie it round my middle when I arrive. Sometimes I click and collect toiletries at the departure airport but mostly I just decant into small pots. I always take a 100stars light robe as that doubles up as a dressing gown and an evening kimono if it’s a bit chilly. Have a great time

Get the sucky packing cube things, and buy all toiletries when you get there. Fold up a thin tote bag to use as a day bag, beach bag while you’re there. Micro fibre towel for beach. I did a 4 day trip with one and reckon with washing in the middle I could have done longer! I found it quite tastisfying finding tips and tricks to fit it all in.

“Aim to wash underwear every day”

I mean, why leave your home at all?

Yes. I wouldn’t go on holiday like this. What’s the point?! I love uk breaks too, so would do that instead if I could only afford an under-seat bag.

Ryanair is 40x30x20. Your case must fit the sizer, wheels and all, and you can’t carry an additional bag. I do have a case with detachable wheels but from experience a backpack is better, you can get more in and you’re less likely to be challenged on size. Carry your passport and phone and other essentials in a bumbag or similar. I use a squashy half moon bag from Primark that I can shove in the top of my bag or case if asked to.

My DH does it all of the time. Just packs undies, one pair of trousers and a handful of shirts rolled up and a phone charger. He never takes toiletries, always buys them there.

Don't forget your underwear! But if the bag is full that might be about all you can take. You also need phone/charger/money/adapter. Possibly a kindle if you have one. Makeup, toothbrush? You could buy toiletries when there.

I’d just pay for the large cabin bag to take that stress away!
