Woman reveals perfect £15 bag for getting around Ryanair’s hand luggage rules

A WOMAN has revealed the £15 bag she uses to avoid extra luggage costs when flying with budget airlines.

In a video on TikTok, one Ryanair passenger fitted her holiday items into a personal bag that most people would take to the gym.

In the 12-second clip, Tia, who is known as tiavincent on the social media platform, filmed herself packing for her trip to Spain.

A caption over the video read: “Pack with me for five days in Spain using the Ryanair hand luggage bag.”

Tia demonstrated how she fitted several items into the bag including dresses, tops, shorts, bikinis, sandals, and a pair of pyjamas.

She also packed other items including a small lint roller, a liquids bag, a phone charger, and a pair of Bluetooth headphones, and she even made use of the front pocket by sliding her passport inside.

Once everything was packed, she panned the video over the bag and showed that there was still plenty of space left inside.

In the next clip, she can be seen placing the viral bag into the baggage size checker.

Once the bag slid into place, she said: “It fits, I would recommend!”

The video has had more than 9,000 views, but Tia wasn’t the first TikToker to put the bag through its paces.

Another TikToker, Jas (@jasdhaliwal_13), can also be seen sliding her large duffel bag into the Ryanair luggage size checker with ease.

The bag both Tia and Jas are impressed with is the Narwey duffel bag, which can be bought from Amazon for £14.99.

The bag is waterproof, meaning it will keep all your items dry, and also has several internal pockets, to keep everything well organised.

The sturdy straps also promise to handle more than 45lbs (20kg), meaning it can comfortably carry even the heaviest of hand luggage.

I recently put the bag to the test for Sun Online Travel, on a Ryanair flight from London Stansted to Vienna.

During the 5-day trip, I managed to fit 1 x travel towel, 2 x dresses, 3 x t-shirts, 1 x trousers, underwear and a pair of pyjamas, plus hair straighteners and curlers, 3 small toiletry bags, a kindle, a charger, a handbag and a notebook.

I was very impressed with just how much I could fit in the bag, but there was one downside to its design.

The small handle, which didn’t fit over my bulky coat, dug into my hand as I carried the bag through the security queue and around the departures lounge.

But for an extra £3 holidaymakers can purchase a version of the bag with a shoulder strap for £18.99 on Amazon.

Meanwhile, other people on TikTok have revealed how they sneakily maximised their luggage space for free by stuffing pillowcases and putting bags under their coats.
