Help please.
If you've travelled Ryanair recently what hand luggage can you bring ?
If you have a handbag can you have a small wheelie case ?
I have an old LV mid sized Neverfull, could I bring that on board as my handbag ?
Or a smallish Longchamp Le Pliage rucksack ?
We're allowed 20kg in the hold.
It's been so long since I've been on a plane, I'm ridiculously excited but I don't want to mess up and have dh glowering as we have to pay extra at the airport.
Any recommendations for cheap, light but hard wearing luggage please ?
Thanks in advance.

A quick online search OP brings up the dimensions of Ryanair's cabin luggage restrictions, which are apparently 40 x 25 x 20 cm. That is quite small, but if you go on Amazon you'll see that quite a few enterprising luggage manufacturers have produced bags of those dimensions. Of course, the first thing to do is take a tape measure and measure the bags you already have and see if they comply. www.mybaggage.com/shipping/airlines/ryanair-baggage-allowance/

If you want to take on a small wheelie case you'll need to pay extra, possibly using priority boarding, which gives the extra allowance.
Ryanair (and Easyjet, not sure about any others) now restrict cabin luggage to one bag, of a size similar to a large handbag or medium rucksack unless you pay extra.
Depending on where you're going and how long for would depend if you need more cabin luggage or are OK with a single medium sized carry on plus the hold luggage.
But as these things change all the time and what is best/cheapest for you varies, it's always best checking the airline website to be sure of the current rules.

It has to fit under the seat in front. Unless you pay extra you cannot take anything larger on board, risk a 70 quid fee if you do.
So although the dimensions of your bag are outside what they say, I understand that if you can squish it down in size to fit that seat in front, you should be fine.
