Ryanair travellers have been left astounded after being asked to pay £46 to carry on a larger bag – here's how you can avoid the charge with Antler's 'extremely roomy' backpack
If you've travelled with Ryanair recently, you'll know the airline company has seemingly got stricter with their luggage allowances. No longer can you just turn up with any old carry-on case or backpack, instead you have to have one that fits their specific dimensions almost exactly: 40x20x25cm.
Writer Emily penned: "In the 15-or-so minutes until we were allowed to board, we saw plenty of others having to measure their cases and 12 had to pay to upgrade when their bags didn't fit. One woman with an over-stuffed backpack started pulling clothes out of her bag and shoving them on top of her outfit to lighten the load. It worked and she was allowed to go through without paying.
Or, if you're after something that will last you for years and double the amount of clothes you can build thanks to its clever compression straps, consider investing in Antler's Chelsea Backpack in Woodland Green, £140 here. With hundreds of five-star reviews from travellers, you're guaranteed to feel smug when you rock up to the check-in desks with it.
A second pens: "Beautiful material and very well made. Colour quite subtle! Great for a smaller hand luggage for long-haul flying. Superb all round bag," while a third adds: "Love this backpack the material both inside and exterior is superior quality lightweight before filled with clothes."
