I don’t travel as regularly as I once did but I’m forever searching for the perfect hand luggage combo: trolley + personal item
I’ve a few photography trips coming up and I’ve been a wee but surprised by how much variance there is between airlines “permitted sizes” for the personal item
Of my next 4 trips, I have 5 Airlines (Easyjet Ryantwats, Norwegian, Air Baltic, Turkish) and they all have quite different sizes of personal item.
The question (finally) is then:
How fascist do peeps find airlines regarding the personal item (not the trolley, I’m covered there)???
I bought the Cabin Zero bag on your recommendation (The fact they had a sale at the time probably helped).
Have used it for a couple of trips now and it has been excellent. It also has laptop pockets etc so doubles as a work bag for occasional forays into that London.
The 28L doesn’t comply with Ryantwats but if I ever fly with them (and I hope it never happens) I will enter into the spirit of their ethos and use a tesco carrier bag,
Ryan air checked everyone when I went to Barca recently.
I had paid for a 10kg walk on and this allowed me to waltz through priority and avoid the checks.
They are making money out of people taking chances. My case was over their sizing but would have squashed down if forced.
If you have one in the hold, checked in, then I found that size for the carry on wasn’t the issue, it was the weight. Ryanair is 10kg hard limit. If you get the larger 55cm carryon via priority, it’s that 10kg limit. For the smaller 40cm non priority carry on, they don’t specify a weight, but I suspect it is 10kg given that anything above this must go in the hold.
Easyjet carry on gets you a 45cm and 15Kg limit. Ryanair are the king cunts of the airlines.
