Amazon Sale Puts Ryanair-Sized Underseat Bags Under £8

Strict size limits with gate fees are pushing travelers to buy purpose-built bags.

Overview

  • Amazon is discounting three underseat cabin bags marketed for Ryanair compliance to under £8 each for a limited time.
  • These budget bags are listed around 40 x 20 x 25 cm with waterproof fabric and shoulder straps, and buyer reviews praise the value while noting some weak straps.
  • Ryanair includes one small personal bag up to 40 x 30 x 20 cm that must fit under the seat, and staff now measure at gates, tag oversize items, and charge about £40–£60 to put them in the hold, with bonuses reported for spotting rule breakers.
  • The Independent highlights the Cabin Max Equator X 20L at about £29, sized 40 x 20 x 25 cm, with a padded laptop sleeve, a hidden pocket, and two compartments with compression straps.
  • EasyJet allows one free bag at 45 x 36 x 20 cm for economy and can issue a £48 gate fine for oversize or unbooked extra bags, showing that carry-on rules differ widely by airline.
