Passenger reveals the perfect £15 bag for getting around Ryanair’s strict hand luggage rules


A WOMAN has revealed the £15 bag she uses to avoid extra luggage costs when flying with budget airlines.

In a video on TikTok, one Ryanair passenger fitted her holiday items into a personal bag that most people would take to the gym.

In a 10-second video clip, Anya, who is known as anyaroscoe, filmed herself placing her bag into the Ryanair baggage size checker.

A caption over the video read: “Me awkwardly demonstrating that this bag does in fact fit exactly into the Ryanair hand luggage requirements.”

As she stood next to the luggage size checker, Anya showed how easily her bag slotted into the required dimensions.

In another video, Anya demonstrated how she used makeshift packing cubes to fit several dresses, bikinis, a beach cover-up, a pair of pyjamas, a pair of sandals, and a toiletry bag inside the small bag.

The bag is the Narwey duffel bag, which can be bought from Amazon for £14.99.

The bag is waterproof, meaning it will keep all your items dry, and also has several internal pockets, to keep everything well organised.

The straps also promise to handle more than 45lbs (20kg), meaning it can comfortably carry even the heaviest of hand luggage.

The video has had more than 4.2 million views on the social media platform with hundreds of users flooding into the comments to share their thoughts.

One person wrote: “I’m getting this for July,” while another person added: “I need this bag.”

The Narwey bag has become a huge hit on Tiktok in recent months, thanks to its ability to skirt the tough Ryanair hand luggage rules.

I recently put the bag to the test for Sun Online Travel, on a Ryanair flight from London Stansted to Vienna.

During the 5-day trip, I managed to fit 1 x travel towel, 2 x dresses, 3 x t-shirts, 1 x trousers, underwear and a pair of pyjamas, plus hair straighteners and curlers, 3 small toiletry bags, a kindle, a charger, a handbag and a notebook.

I was very impressed with just how much I could fit in the bag, but there was one downside to its design.

The small handle, which didn’t fit over my bulky coat, dug into my hand as I carried the bag through the security queue and around the departures lounge.

But for an extra £3 holidaymakers can purchase a version of the bag with a shoulder strap for £18.99 on Amazon.

Meanwhile, other people on TikTok have revealed how they sneakily maximised their luggage space for free by stuffing pillowcases and putting bags under their coats.
