Esayjet hand luggage help

nmjams

I'm flying with easyjet this summer and need to buy hand luggage that fits their required measurements 50x40x20.
I've looked online and around shops but most have at least one measurement that's slightly bigger or is too pricey.
Anyone bought anything recently that was fine on an easyjet flight?

You can actually take hand baggage 56 x 45 x 25cm including handles and wheels. The only difference is that it is not guaranteed to travel with you in the cabin and may have to go in the hold on busy flights.

We usually take rucksacks but I have looked at this case which fits the guaranteed cabin bag size.

I flew with easyjet a few weeks ago and took a bag slightly smaller than the above quoted sizes Matalan no problem.

Our flight was full and had was able to carry it on with us on both journeys.

yep, this is what we use for easyjet carry-on cases -

i don't have a problem putting it in the hold for free and i haven't been asked to so far.

What about Ryanair? I am flying to Dublin with them tomorrow and I'm quite worried about having to pay now for my luggage. It's a holdall but I think it's a bigger holdall than usual. I've never flown with them before so I wouldn't know how strict they are.

my bag fits in flybe hand luggage gauges, so as long as the case isn't full up (because its not rigid) it should be fine with ryanair as well - but if in doubt, take a smaller bag.

Another vote for the Matalan Globaltrk range here, and my OH has an IT bag from Argos. We flew with Easyjet in November without problems.

have you measured your bags dimensions? do each of the dimensions fit within the ryanair guidelines?
