Baggage allowance

[mini-x2]

You know when you fly short haul with these budget airlines and they’ve got certain dimensions that your hand luggage has to adhere to? If it’s a squashy bag that can easily re-proportion itself when pushed into a ‘box’ to see if it fits the criteria will I be ok or will I get stung for more coin?

It’s very airline dependant

If it fits it’s ok. I’ve a backpack that over but I’ve never been stopped. Just keep it on back while boarding. Straight on. Under seat. Job done.

Not be winning any bag of the year competitions but they do the job.

Came in handy for 36hrs in Dublin recently via Ryanair

Generally they’re fine. If it fits under the seat in front then you’re good

They go in the overhead bit ?

Only ever seen one person get stopped and had to pay but that's because he tried to go through priority boarding, the knacker.

All depends on the company and people on the gate in my experience. When I know my bags been slightly too big I've just worn it as a back pack, which worked a charm. Although a squishy bag should be fine either way.

Jet2 last year, stopped my uncle flying out & cousin coming back. They both had the same bag but only one of them was stopped both ways

Depends if you buy a cabin bag or a carry on bag

Just don't try to carry drink through customs like I did recently in Kefalonia. Three bottles confiscated from my hand luggage. Stick them in your luggage instead or buy them in duty free. They played Zorba the Greek over the tannoy as well, knowing they'd be drinking them later on.

Included in the price with Jet2.

I know Ryanair charge for them but they would charge to use the bogs if they thought they could get away with it.
