    Just look online for a large duty free carrier bag, who knows what is in it and it is allowed on board with no problems. I bet you can buy them on ebay!

    I flew last weekend with just hand luggage and there were loads of people doing that, I wish I had thought of it!!

    You can also just buy one of the bag for life style bags from WHSmith in the airport for 5p (maybe a bit more now, I haven't done it for a few years as I'm used to packing lightly now).

    I've got this one, it's very sturdy http://www.homebargains.co.uk/products/5062-trek-buddy-carry-on-cabin-luggage.aspx

    I only really put my blanket in it, & a few bits. It's also used as a pillow, & I put my feet up on it which saves the legs from hanging in mid air & aching so much.

    Can't we take handbags then too?

    It depends on the airline. Most will let you but quite a few won't (mainly the ultra-low cost airlines).
