WITH luggage rules getting stricter by the day, it can be difficult to find a case that abides by them on a budget.
So it’s no wonder savvy travellers are racing to B&M, after spotting a cheap as chips case that fits under the seat on an aeroplane – even on Ryanair flights.
And to make the deal even more appealing, it’s currently 20% off, meaning it’s down from £15 to just £12.
Katie took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share her find, writing: “I’ve seen a few posts recently about cabin cases for Ryanair.
“Found this today in B&M, Ryanair approved and fits the under seat bag sizing.
“B&M currently have 20% off all their travel currently.”
The case is called a ‘small carry on cabin case’, with Katie sharing a snap of it in grey, while it also comes in black.
“Perfect for quick getaways and business trips, store and organise all of your travel necessities in the various compartments of this case,” they said of the case on the B&M website.
“This sleek carry on bag is designed to slip easily under your cabin seat.”
The case measures approximately 20 x 40 x 25cm.
Other people were quick to comment on the post, with one writing: “I’ve got this and does indeed sit under the seat.
“It’s been to Oz, Thailand and Greece and it’s still in one peace.”
“I bought one today,” another added.
“They are under the seat size requirements for Ryanair,” a third commented.
“We fly to Gran Canaria on Thursday and picked these up for the kids.”
“Perfect for a night or two away without paying,” someone else wrote.
“We have these they are amazing you can use for free on Ryanair,” another commented.
“So glad to see this post as I’ve bought 3 for our free carry on bag and been panicking about it,” someone else said.
“Try Morrisons small cases £8 n hard she’ll fit in sizer too all colours,” another suggested.
To which someone else responded: “I took one of those and Ryan air charged me £45 at the gate before boarding because it didn’t fit in their luggage slot – even though the size complied with Ryanair’s luggage guide.
“Most passengers had back pack/ruck sacks, some bigger than my case, and I queried this and was told because they were fabric they can squeeze into the slot.
“I was fuming!!”
According to the official Ryanair website, you are allowed to carry one piece of carry-on luggage on the plane, which must be “no larger than 40cm x 20cm x 25cm”.
“You cannot take on any carry-on baggage for infants under two who do not have their own seat,” they added.
