I need to buy a cabin bag

14 replies

InOffice · 29/08/2023 16:03

I have quite a few trips coming up on budget airlines and hope/expect there will be more to follow.

I'm trying to buy a bag that will be suitable for all the various allowances. I note Ryan Air is a fair bit smaller than Easy Jet, are there any others even smaller? This is for the additional cabin bag you pay extra for, I have a decent compact rucksack for trips where I can manage with the included "handbag".

If you're looking for fashionable then I can't help you, but I bought an Eastpak backpack that's huge, it has the things on the side that allow you to cinch it right down making it smaller, so toiletries i your handbag and clothes in this one.

If you go on Amazon they usually state the airlines that deem them suitable for hand luggage in the description.

I use cabin max for budget airlines . I have a Cotopaxi where the allowance is more generous.

How much would you like to spend?

We have cabin max Manhattan, it’s very roomy and without charge on Ryan Air.

I've got a Ryanair sized Cabin Max spinner case - it's slightly smaller than the EasyJet/BA but not by much.

Honestly, I'd stick with the rucksack. It can double as a day bag when you're at your location, and a cabin bag can't. You can also always fit it under the seat in front, no scrabbling for a bag three lockers away.

You can use the money you saved buying the odd thing you can't fit at your destination.

Another vote for the Cabin Max Manhattan. Really spacious.

morrisons are currently selling a Ryan air compatible bag for 9.99 next to the suitcases .

Eastpak xs suitcase is Ryanair suitable for the overhead extra hand luggage. Has decent wheels , and soft side to compact if needed. Our are 10+ years old and have been everywhere

I got a fantastic TravelPro Ryanair compliant (55 x 40 x 20 cm) wheeled carry on bag from TK Maxx. £59 vs £££ in a department store.
The reason Ryanair’s size limit is different from EasyJet & BA is because they operate Boeing 737s which have smaller luggage racks the Airbus A320s operated by the others.
