Bear in mind if your wife is taking a hand bag - this needs to fit inside your carry on luggage too, as you are only allowed one bag. Might seem obvious but i didnt realise this and had to stand in the queue trying to squeeze my handbag into the carry on bag!

Yep she knows this.

Do you think this is crazy but i live near the airport we are flying from and have a choice of 3 bags. I was going to take them into the airport and see if they fit the size things that the airline has LOL.

True story - my carry on bag is a perfect fit for the cage thing you have to be able to put it in. At every airport apart from Charlois (what Ryanair lovingly refer to as 'Paris') - at this airport, for some reason, the cage is wider but not as deep. My bag didn't fit. The nice guy on security told me I'd have to re-pack, and when I opened my case he noticed my big heavy jacket on the top. 'Wear it' he said. 'But I'm already wearing a jacket' I said (luckily my French is up to this!). 'Doesn't matter', said he. So I walked through security wearing two jackets. My bag still only just fitted (I got it into the cage OK, but it took me, the aforementioned security guy and the bloke behind me in the queue to get it out again. That, apparently, doesn't matter, as long as it goes in.) You have to laugh.

It did matter in my instance, Easyjet, Manchester to Naples!
