Ryanair carry-on suitcase

spectre

Much obliged if any one could recommend a case that satisfies Ryaniar's strict requirements of:

55cm x 40cm x 20cm

Lidl are currently doing suitcases but I don't believe any of them satisfy this criteria.

Thanks

We got ours in Penneys last year

I recommend Tripp luggage that you find in Debenhams.

Very light and perfect size for Ryanair.

Personally I like the flylite bag - they've introduced a better medium one since I got mine.:rolleyes:

Don't get a case. I use a sportsbag(that's well over the required dimensions) and have never had any problems.

A sportsbag will squash into the frame things they have at the gates..a suitcase wont.

Have been using it for years & never had a problem

Something like this..

I travel alot with carry on bag and it tends to be well filled at least on one leg of a journey. What has let me down on last two bags is the trolley pull along handle that will not collapse when needed such as when about to board plane.

Also I am always conscious of the weight of the empty bag. It is a tricky business for a small person like me to hoist it up to luggage rack and find space for it on usual crowded Ryanair flights. Ryanair are known for checking the weight at some airports even though it is fairly generous. I bought a new bag recently in UK for 29£ by "5Cities". It is only 1.8 kg empty. It has a hard back but soft around side/top. There is also a handy outer pocket with padding suitable for laptop that had to be hauled out at security. The pull out handle consists of only one 'leg' so hope will be less likely to fail.

What weight is the Aldi bag?

+1 - the best hands down... even when packed to capacity - it is still the right size. (have 2 of them and always use them on aer lingus and ryanair - never had a problem)

They are super light too.

Yes that one looks good and a decent price. Only snag for me is no wheels. Airports these days can mean lengthy walks and I have to travel onwards with coach/train etc so trolley is a must tho I know it contributes to weight.

You're talking about adding roughly 1 to 1.5KG for a hard base and wheels!
And when you have only a 10KG allowance it doesn't make sense to me personally... a lot of wheel base models have a hard time fitting into that fecking ryanair bag checking frame too from what i have seen on recent flights.

I have used wheel bags and rucksacks on lots of flights/train journeys in the past - the cabin max one wins hands down for me... our two have been kicked dropped dragged and still no tears or splits on the base or shoulder straps.

10kg on your back is not that much in fairness... and if you are that worried about carrying it, every airport has trolleys

Just my two cents.

No trollies on the long walks I am thinking off such as Dublin, both T1 an T2, and Bristol. Trollies are provided at point large suitcases are collected/checked in. Yes I know they contribute to weight hence I am happy my latest bag weighing 1.8 kg. My regular journey also involves uphill walks. Sorry I am beyond rucksack -I am too decrepid. Also I tend to 'wear' my special Ryanair coat well endowed with pockets for extra stowage and handy for items needed on journey.

I have just noticed Aer lingus have a different policy for their Aer Aran regional flights of a smaller bag and lower weight allowance of 7 kg. That explains tiny crate I saw at Bristol.:mad:
