‘Perfect’ cabin bag could save Ryanair passengers from extra fees

With the summer holiday season almost here, Amazon customers have been snapping up a cabin-friendly backpack that will help to cut down the cost of your next getaway. The WOUIYO Cabin Bag from Amazon has been specifically designed for air travel with all major UK airlines, boasting numerous features to help maximise your packing power. 

The backpack includes several internal pockets such as a laptop compartment, a waterproof wet pocket and an anti-theft pocket perfect for your passport and phone ensuring your belongings stay secure and organised during short trips. Available in various colours, including black, green, pink, blue or grey prices start from £22.99. The bag’s dimensions of 40 x 20 x 25cm make it the ideal size for  Ryanair passengers using the free allowance, as well as easyJet, Jet2, TUI and British Airways.

The backpack boasts ergonomic sponge-padded straps for a comfortable carry and a handy luggage sleeve on the back means you can attach it to your suitcase while rolling through the airport. With over 650 reviews on Amazon, this backpack has been given a stellar average rating of 4.6 out of five stars.

If the Amazon backpack isn’t quite what you are looking for other top luggage brands have also designed cabin bags specifically to fit within Ryanair’s hand luggage allowance.

Some of the best ptions include the Metz Underseat Cabin Backpack, available from Mountain Warehouse for £30, as well as the Aerolite Cabin Size Backpack, which has 61% knocked off its price tag at £23.99 down from £54.99.

Another good choice is the IT Luggage Divinity Quilted Holdall which is a little bigger, but currently reduced from £30 to £21.

Buyers were quick to share their thoughts on the Ryanair-friendly backpack.  One said: “Perfect hand luggage! Well made and designed, with many compartments and pockets. The outer straps help to make it look flatter/tighter in case you pack too much. Size acceptable for most, if not all airlines. I’ve already used it for many travels and couldn’t recommend it more. If you are looking for light and commodious hand luggage, buy this one!”

Another added: “Such amazing quality and you would be so surprised with how much actually fits! I only ever use the free bag option when flying and we always fly Ryanair as it’s the cheapest near us. I have never been questioned or pulled up on the size – only once did they make me put it in the sizer and it fit in perfectly with no issues. The bag also has great back support for carrying around all day.”

91% of reviewers gave  the bag a positive review, but some shoppers were less impressed. One disappointed buyer said: “You can get plenty in the bag, but once everything is in it’s a struggle to find which pocket you put things in, also when full it’s hard to get your full hand into several pockets.”

Another satisfied traveller shared their experience: “Perfect! Bought this bag for a four-night trip away. Dimensions are perfect for Ryanair cabin and fit under the seat. Loved the different compartments and functionality of the bag. Everything I needed or didn’t know I needed I managed to fit into this bag. Lightweight to carry and has a mini USB opening to charge your device on the go. I would recommend!”
