To make sure you don’t fall foul of Ryanair’s strict hand luggage rules, this travel backpack has been made to their exact measurements – and it’s currently on sale with £10 off
If you’ve got a holiday booked you’ll no doubt be starting to plan your packing and what exactly you’re taking with you. However if you’ve booked with a budget airline like Ryanair, you need to be sure of exactly what size luggage you’re allowed, especially when it comes to your carry on.
Ryanair is known for having very strict regulations as to what’s allowed as hand luggage, allowing one small bag per passenger for free, with dimensions not exceeding 40cm x 20cm x 25cm. However we’ve found the perfect travel bag on Amazon that fits these requirements exactly, so you won’t be caught out with extra fees when it comes to boarding, and it’s now been slashed by 36% from £27.99 to £17.99.

The Xkdoai Cabin Bag measures exactly 40cm x 20cm x 25cm and has a 20 litre capacity, making sure it’s fully compliant with the tight regulations whilst still giving you plenty of room to pack your essentials. It even has adjustable straps on the outside that let you compress it further, in case you’re worried about it fitting.
Although it has a classic backpack design which makes it comfortable and easy to carry, it opens out flat just like a suitcase would, making it much easier to pack and access your belongings. There’s a hidden zipped pocket at the back for valuables like your phone or passport, a cable hole in the side to connect your phone to a charger on the go, and multiple other pockets to keep things organised.
To keep you comfortable whilst carrying it, the underside has been designed with a mesh material that allows heat to dissipate to prevent sweating. There’s also an easy to carry top handle, two backpack straps, and a strap which allows you to slot it over the handle of a larger case for easier transportation.
If you prefer a rolling cabin bag, Antler’s Cabin with Pocket Suitcase is £230, but a worthy investment if the 4.9 star rating is anything to go by. Alternatively the Aerolite MiniMax Ryanair Size Cabin Hand Luggage from Aerolite is on sale down from £44.99 to £24.99, and features an extendable handle and rolling wheels.
Although it’s great for travelling, you can also use the Xkdoai Cabin Bag for commuting, overnight stays, heading to school, outdoor sports or just as a general backpack. Shoppers have also been praising it on Amazon, with one saying: “Good size. Nice material. Lots of pockets.”
Another wrote: “Firstly this has tons of pockets. Probably more than you’ll need. Seems to be pretty waterproof too as i’ve carried cameras and laptops in it, uncovered – with no issue. It maximizes the space for budget flight providers and I’ve never been stopped even with the bag full to the brim. It has extra clips at the side which can strap around you for security. It is comfortable for walking about and travelling. Good size and well designed.”
Others were less impressed, saying: “Loved the colour but the quality isn’t quite as good as I expected.”
Another put: “Was fine at first but after a few uses the bottom lining of the bag got folded up – having to unpick the fabric to sort it out now. Overall a nice product but it’s a little annoying to have to fix that.”
However another loved it, saying: “Really good backpack! I used it to go on holiday for a week and with compression cubes I managed to fit in everything I needed for the weeks travel and it is classed as a cabin bag so no unexpected fees at the airport. Super convenient for traveling light.”
