Amazon's 'very sturdy' £17 cabin bag is 'perfect for Ryanair'
The Amazon cabin bag has been reduced ahead of the retailer's Prime Day 2025 sale Amazon shoppers are heaping praise on an "excellent" cabin bag they say is "perfect for Ryanair." The retailer has reduced the popular bag ahead of its annual Prime Day sale, which runs from July 8 to 11. The retailer is selling the Yankony travel backpack in a range of colours, with the price depending on the shade. Prices currently start from £17.90, down from £29.99. According to the Amazon product description says the bag is "designed fits easily under the seat or in the overhead compartment." It features an adjustable water bottle pocket, a charging hole, an anti-theft pocket on the bag, a front pocket, two inside pockets, as well as laptop compartment and main compartment. The bag is said to be "durable, waterproof and scratch-resistant." The back and shoulder straps are made of thickened sponge, which "improves breathability and reduces the heavy burden on your back." The carry-on backpack has a capacity of 20L and can be unfolded 180° like a suitcase. It is made with nylon fabric. Alternatively, Dunelm is stocking the Elements Hard Shell Suitcase for £21, while B&Q has the LUGG 15 Inch Jetset Lightweight Travel Cabin Bag for £25.99. Gymshark has the Sleek Backpack on sale for £38.50, down from £55. The Amazon bag is racking up rave reviews, with a 4.6 star rating. One person said: "Excellent bag perfect for Ryanair small hand luggage. Return flights to Spain no issue. Zips are of good quality and there is a bottle pocket also. Even if you overstuff it the bag should still fit the Ryanair dimensions but it is safer to leave a bit of space. Comfortable to wear and very light. Will use on my next short trip." A second wrote: " Perfect for Ryanair under seat bag. Bought this as I needed a rucksack that meets Ryanair under seat requirements, a perfect fit. I now have at least one hand free to hold the rail when climbing up and down the steep steps. "Love the colour. A very versatile bag with lots of different pockets, including one that is waterproof. The shoulder straps are padded and comfortable. There's a side pocket for a water bottle good quality for the price. Available in a good range of colours too." However, a number of shoppers found issues with the product. One said: "Was disappointed at the product when delivered. Not as expected." A second wrote: "The bag arrived a bit wrinkly, which did not make it look at it's best. Overall it's a decent bag with many pockets. I personally think it's just a little too small and could be a bit bigger for a cabin bag." Despite this, many continued to praise the bag. One person said: "Good little bag for travel, its a good shape, with lots of pockets, very sturdy. As long as Ryanair accept it for under seat storage, then I will be very happy with it. The purple colour is more lilac." A second wrote: "Fantastic holds so much must have for travelling." A third added: "Absolutely love this bag. The pockets are all useful and functional. Really value for money. Material seems durable. "Love that the zips are protected from opening by the straps. The anti theft pocket is a great idea. Comfy to wear. Plan to get another two for my husband and father in law."

Suitcases that fit latest Ryanair, Jet2, TUI, and EasyJet luggage rules
Airlines including Ryanair, EasyJet, Jet2 and TUI have strict hand luggage rules in place for passengers and those who fail to comply could face hefty charges Airlines are clamping down on hand luggage restrictions, and travellers who fail to comply may incur substantial charges. Several airlines - including Ryanair, EasyJet, Jet2 and TUI - can scrutinise the size and weight of passengers' bags at the airport down to the nearest centimetre, and those exceeding the limit may be charged up to £70. Most tickets include a hand luggage bag, but the standard luggage allowance varies among airlines. To dodge any unforeseen luggage fees at the airport, measure your bag before departing home - unless an upgrade has been purchased. The Amazon FREETOO Luggage Scale, designed for user-friendliness, provides accurate readings up to 50kg. Currently, on a limited deal at £9.40, it boasts nearly 50,000 reviews with an average rating of 4.8 out of five. Reviews describe the luggage scale as easy to use and accurate, with one customer noting its precision to 0.05kg. Many who deem it value for money praise the scale's compact size, sturdy strap, and dependable build, particularly highlighting its airport utility, reports the Liverpool Echo. Users appreciate its functionality, with one mentioning its suitability for weighing suitcases and another finding it useful for laundry loads. However, some customers have expressed dissatisfaction, as one claimed: "Not of good quality! Not efficient, it takes a long time to measure." Another mentioned: "Not as big as shown in the catalogue and not working." Passengers with checked-in luggage bookings need to follow certain rules to avoid unexpected fees at check-in. As explained previously by Birmingham Live, here are the key hand luggage rules for carriers including Ryanair, Jet2, TUI, and EasyJet. Jet2 For Jet2, customers are allowed one free carry-on bag on board. This bag must not be heavier than 10kg and should not exceed dimensions of 56 x 45 x 25cm, including wheels and handles. As per recommendations, Dunelm's Elements Hard Shell Suitcase is an ideal choice in the Cabin size (£21, reduced from £30), available in assorted hues, with customers praising it as "absolutely brilliant" and a "bargain". However, some reviews highlighted that the shell's thickness was insufficient to protect items inside. Additionally, Jet2 allows one smaller item, such as a handbag, as long as it fits under the seat ahead. Excess baggage could trigger charges of £12 for every extra kilogram. Easyjet With EasyJet, the hand luggage policy is notably stringent, and travellers are only allowed one small personal item aboard without charge. If passengers haven't opted for an upgrade, all their travel necessities must fit within a 15kg bag no greater than 45 x 36 x 20cm, including any wheels and handles, exemplified by the Vancropak Easyjet Cabin Bag (£23.74 on Amazon). EasyJet imposes a £48 excess luggage fee, one of the highest among major budget airlines, so passengers must avoid additional costs. One option that fits the dimensions is the Aerolite Lightweight on Amazon (£37.34). Shoppers describe it as "robust" with the ability to "pack a lot in," although some encountered issues with "stiff wheels" and "broken zips." Ryanair Ryanair is well-known for its strict luggage restrictions. To ensure compliance, passengers frequently place their bags in measuring crates. Passengers are limited to a small personal bag with a maximum size of 40 x 20 x 25cm, such as this £20.98 Amazon backpack. Alternatively, Priority Boarding can be purchased, allowing passengers to bring an additional 10kg hand luggage bag measuring up to 55 x 40 x 20cm. The £25 8-Wheel Hard Shell Underseat Suitcase from Primark, available in black or gold, has gained popularity among Ryanair passengers on TikTok. Passengers exceeding Ryanair's luggage limits may incur a £48 charge per hand luggage bag or £70 for oversized 10kg suitcases. More information about extra charges can be found here. TUI TUI allows a standard 10kg bag on board, with hand luggage dimensions limited to 55 x 40 x 20cm, comparable to the World's Lightest 4 Wheel Soft Cabin Suitcase, now priced at £22.50 at Argos, reduced from £45. One reviewer said: "Nice and spacious and lightweight suitcase. Able to fit quite a lot, so good if you're planning on taking or bringing back lots of things on holiday etc. Would definitely recommend. I've been using it for luggage for over 15 years - can't go wrong." Another customer shared: "Good purchase, good value for money, holds lots and very lightweight." A third added: "I LOVE the colour. It's a bright turquoise (much nicer in real life than on the screen in my opinion) and honestly makes me so happy to travel with it." However, not all reviews were positive, as one person claimed: "One of the wheels wore through and broke after only a couple of uses. Not very robust." Another reviewer said: "It is absolutely not practical to use." Passengers are generally allowed to bring one piece of hand luggage on board, such as a handbag or briefcase, provided it fits under the seat in front. But the rules change if you've booked a package holiday with TUI. Those people are entitled to a minimum of 20kg of checked-in luggage. Those without a checked-in baggage allowance will incur charges per kilo for any luggage exceeding their hand luggage allowance, with TUI's excess baggage fees ranging from £14 to £18 per extra kg, depending on the flight duration.

Ryanair, Jet2, TUI and EasyJet hand luggage rules update to avoid airport fees
People jetting off on holiday are being warned to be cautious of hand luggage restrictions as airlines - including Ryanair, EasyJet, Jet2, and TUI - toughen up on baggage checks at the airport. Those caught out with oversized or overweight cases could be hit with fees as steep as £70. Staying one step ahead of extra charges means checking your luggage dimensions before heading to the terminal. While the included hand luggage allowance varies by airline, most tickets do grant a carry-on bag without any added expense. To avoid such airport surprises, the highly-rated FREETOO Luggage Scale is grabbing attention on Amazon for its slashed price of £9.40. Boasting nearly 50,000 reviews with an impressive average of 4.8 out of five stars, this gadget wins points for its accuracy, travel-friendly design, robust strap, and solid build quality. People have praised its accuracy, with a margin of 0.05kg, particularly beneficial to make the most of their luggage limits without going too overboard, reports the Liverpool Echo. But, not everyone is satisfied with their purchase, as one customer claimed: "Not of good quality! Not efficient, it takes a long time to measure." Another reviewer had problems regarding its size and functionality, stating: "Not as big as shown in the catalogue and not working." Travellers with checked-in luggage must be mindful of the specific hand luggage regulations to dodge unexpected charges at the check-in counter. Here's a summary of the key carry-on baggage rules for Ryanair, Jet2, TUI, and EasyJet: Jet2 Jet2 allows each passenger to take one piece of carry-on luggage on board at no extra cost. The item should not weigh more than 10kg and must fit within dimensions of 56 x 45 x 25cm, taking into account any wheels and handles. For instance, the Elements Hard Shell Suitcase from Dunelm, available in the Cabin size (£21, reduced from £30), is an ideal choice. It comes in various hues and has been praised by customers as "absolutely brilliant" and a "bargain", although some have noted that the shell "wasn't thick enough" to protect the contents adequately. Additionally, Jet2 travellers can bring a small personal item like a handbag, which must fit under the seat ahead of them on the aircraft. Those who go over their baggage allowance may be hit with a fee of £12 for every kilogram over the limit. Easyjet EasyJet enforces some of the most stringent hand luggage policies, permitting passengers to carry only a small personal bag on board without charge. Unless they opt for an additional fee to upgrade, holidaymakers are required to pack all their essentials into a 15kg bag with maximum dimensions of 45 x 36 x 20cm, including any wheels and handles, such as the Vancropak Easyjet Cabin Bag (£23.74 on Amazon). EasyJet's £48 excess luggage fee is one of the highest among the major budget airlines, so passengers will want to avoid any unexpected costs. One option that fits these dimensions is the Aerolite Lightweight on Amazon (£37.34), which shoppers have said is "robust" and "packed a lot in", but did have issues with "stiff wheels" and "broken zips". Ryanair Ryanair is well-known for its luggage restrictions, and passengers are often asked to place their bags in a measuring crate to ensure they comply with the airline's requirements. Those flying with Ryanair are limited to a small personal bag no larger than 40 x 20 x 25cm, like this £20.98 backpack available on Amazon. Passengers have the option to pay extra for Priority Boarding, which allows them to carry an additional 10kg hand luggage bag with dimensions up to 55 x 40 x 20cm. Primark sells a £25 8-Wheel Hard Shell Underseat Suitcase in either black or gold, which went viral among Ryanair passengers on TikTok. Ryanair passengers whose bags exceed these limits could face a charge of £48 per hand luggage bag or £70 if your 10kg suitcase is oversized. You can find more information about Ryanair's extra fees here. TUI For those flying with TUI, a 10kg bag is allowed on board as standard. The permitted dimensions for TUI's hand luggage are 55 x 40 x 20cm, close to the size of the World's Lightest 4 Wheel Soft Cabin Suitcase, which is now available for £22.50 at Argos, down from £45. One satisfied customer praised the case: "Nice and spacious and lightweight suitcase. Able to fit quite a lot, so good if you're planning on taking or bringing back lots of things on holiday, etc Would definitely recommend. I've been using it luggage for over 15 years, can't go wrong." While another added: "Good purchase, good value for money, holds lots and very lightweight." An third put: "I LOVE the colour.

But, someone claimed: "One of the wheels wore through and broke after only a couple of uses. Not very robust." And another shared: "It is absolutely not practical to use." Regarding carry-on policies, people are allowed a small personal item such as a handbag or briefcase that has to fit under the seat upfront. However, TUI package holiday goers receive at least a 20kg check-in luggage allowance. Luggage heavier than a passenger's hand luggage allowance without a checked baggage inclusion will face TUI's excess baggage charge of £14 to £18 per additional kilo, influenced by the length of the flight.

Dunelm's £30 'stylish' suitcase 'perfect for city breaks' and comes in 8 colours
Brits have said that the 'strong' and 'stylish' case was great for those taking long holidays or quick city breaks As summer approaches, many people will be jetting off for some much-needed rest and relaxation. But if you've not been away for a while, it might be time to upgrade your tired and worn-out suitcases with this "perfect" option sold by Dunelm. The store's Elements Hard Shell Suitcase has been a huge hit with shoppers who say its ideal for city breaks. Prices vary depending on your chosen case size, for example, the Cabin Case costs £30, while bigger sizes cost £35 (medium) £40 (large), and £50 (extra large). Certain colours are unavailable in specific sizes, so it's best to check for the size you need before getting too attached. Plenty gave rave reviews about this practical suitcase, claiming it fits a surprising amount for something so compact. Dunelm's website reads: "Going away for the weekend or hoping to catch some sun elsewhere? Then this is the key item you need to store your clothes and other bits and bobs in. Available in a range of sizes and colours, this suitcase has been designed using strong hard shell which has been placed on four spinner wheels, making rolling your suitcase around easy." It adds: "Finished with two sturdy handles to make carrying more comfortable and a zip insert with an elastic clip closure to hold your clothes in place." Over 140 shoppers shared their opinions online after purchasing and using the cases for themselves. One said: "I love this suitcase. It's an original colour that will stand out in the airport. It's easy to recognise and a good size, too!" Another added: "I bought for a short city break to Italy soon. Perfect size and nice stylish design." A third wrote: "I got a small, medium, and large last year and have just bought another large one. Good sturdy case in a nice range of colours to choose from. The mesh part stops clothes from moving around." Someone else put in their review: "We bought two of these suitcases for a recent city break and they are fantastic! Very sturdy, with a zipped compartment one side and strapped compartment the other side. We managed to fit clothes and shoes for three days for two adults and a child, alongside a few cuddly toys (and a pillow for my little one) into one suitcase alone! The wheels are very smooth and rolled over concrete and more bumpy terrain with ease." But, not everyone was happy. One claimed the case "did not feel very well built", writing that their case had "weak zips" and a "loose and wobbly" extendable handle. Another warned: "You get what you pay for I guess. First trip used on a plane and the corner got dented in and won't pop back out. All the wheels squeak badly, and the internal pockets zip sometimes just come apart. Looks good, but that's the only plus from my experience." If your luggage needs a refresh ahead of the holiday season, there are plenty of places to grab an affordable suitcase. At Debenhams, there's an option for extremely light travellers with the £30 Cabin Max Anode Underseat Cabin Suitcase With Shoulder Strap. Matching luggage is available in bigger sizes at an increased cost. And, Argos is selling a wide range of options. You can order what is claimed to be the 'World's Lightest' 4 Wheel Soft Cabin Suitcase by IT Luggage for £33.75, down from £45.
