Help me pack ten days in ryan air under Seat

[Inheritednamechanged]

To do a ten day holiday in europe with ryan air under Seat hand luggage only. I think I can do it but I have been met with FURIOUS resistance from people saying it’s impossible. Please tell me your best packing hacks for the smallest hand luggage. I can wash clothes six days in so that feels inmediately like only a six day holiday…. Help!

I bet they are all upgrading to the new size, I’ll have to sell mine if I upgrade!

Whilst meant lightheartedly I am sure, sexism on the part of Ryanair in one form or another in the extra charges and luggage restrictions. Not sure which way you could argue, given period products are not required by men.

Nah. You can buy period products abroad, as with any other toiletries. And some men need Tena pads etc.

The point of an underseat bag is that it’s supposed to be a small bag you could take to the bathroom with you, not some tardis-like structure.

If I need the loo on the plane I can take a small bag which is inside my underseat bag. Because my underseat bag contains my passport, a book, emergency knickers(!), a few medicines such as Ibuprofen/immodium etc and my phone. I am NOT also trying to squeeze in two weeks’ worth of holiday clothes.

I agree. I don't think the business model works if too many people don't buy any extras.

I know some people pay a lot more but if a lot of people are paying £50-100 for their fare and not paying for luggage, seats, extra luggage, meals, drinks etc, that can't be a profitable customer, especially with higher fuel costs and air passenger duty taking £26 of the fare.

No idea why ppl are recommending a pair of pants for every day! 2 pairs, wear alternate days and wash in between!

So many posts imply you can only bring a couple of pairs of pants and prob 2 outfits max in an under seat bag. Not true. I took enough clothes for a week with a complete change of outfit every day, plus 2 novels and the sketching gear.

The packing equivalent of mumsnet magic chickens happening on this thread.
