    There are 2 of us in my party. I am travelling to Spain on 21/5/11 with BMIbaby, 24/6/11 with Ryanair, 2/7/11 with BMIbaby, 29/7/11 with Ryanair, 31/8/11 with Ryanair and with BMIbaby 25/10/11. I always travel with only hand luggage but by the time I have packed my laptop and camcorder there is little capacity to take anything else so I would love the opportunity to try this jacket. The last time I flew from Spain with Ryanair I knew that my hand luggage was heavy but within the size limit but it was the first time that they used weighing scales as I boarded. My bag was overweight and they wanted me to put the bag in the hold and charge me. I off loaded items into a waste bin that were cheaper to replace rather than pay the excess. I won't criticise Ryanair as I wasn't playing by their rules. I am already savvy when it comes to booking and use Visa Electron or pre-paid Mastercard where appropriate when it comes to booking and think that this jacket would be a boon for me.

    Myself and partner will be travelling on thurs with easyjet and returning on sunday. i travel at least every 3 weeks with easyjet. i will be travelling again on 3rd june and 24th june on outbound journeys.

    i usually pack way too much stuff and have once been told by easyjet to put my bag in the hold which was to cost me £30, my bag was able to fit in the gauge but it was still too big apparently! i now carry with me a measuring tape in case this happens again. when easyjet tried to charge my card for the £30 they advised they no longer accepted my maestro card, i had no cash and no other cards on me and they told me that i wouldnt be flying if i couldnt pay! in the end the dispatch guy let me on as by this time my bag had already been taken down and the flight had missed its slot due to this!

    6 of us are flying to Spain with Ryan Air end of June for a stag weekend.

    Would be very interesting to see what i could get in one of those jackets (all legal) and they'd be some very interesting pictures too i should think.

    We (a couple) are travelling to Turkey in early July on EasyJet and Pegasus.

    I'm a photography enthusiast and need to carry a lot of stuff (which are too expensive/breakable to even think of checking-in). Have been using a Scottevest for the last few months but I dont find it very convenient.

    I would love to trial the Rufus Roo (funny name though) and review it along with photos.

    I am flying (party of four) to Portugal with Flybe in July. Am also likely to have to go to Germany on business (usually BA) in the next few months and am happy to trial it for business as well as pleasure use.
