“I bought this rucksack for a four-night holiday and it completely exceeded my expectations. It fit everything I needed – clothes, toiletries, shoes, and even a few extras”
As the holiday season hits its peak, finding luggage that fits the right dimensions can be a struggle. This often leads to holidaymakers having to shell out extra cash at airports or frantically emptying their bags.
This is why there’s been a surge in demand for bags designed to fit snugly as cabin bags or under-seat luggage. Ryanair passengers are in luck as they can now grab the Xkdoai for Ryanair Cabin Bags for £16.99, down from £30.99 on Amazon.
The 20-litre cabin bag, available in a variety of colours, is said to tick all the boxes for Ryanair’s carry-on baggage size requirements and is also suitable for most other airlines. Despite its compact size, shoppers shouldn’t underestimate its capacity as it opens 180 degrees like a suitcase, offering plenty of space and fitting comfortably in overhead lockers and under seats, reports Chronicle Live.
Not only does the bag offer ample room, but it also includes a TSA-approved clear bag that allows travellers to breeze through airport security. The bag also boasts a hidden zipped pocket at the back of the backpack for mobile phones, passports, wallets, and other valuables.
Measuring 40x20x25cm when fully packed, the backpack also features a cable hole on the side, which can be connected to a charger inside the bag, allowing for mobile phones to be charged while on the move. This nylon pouch-style cabin bag is made from water-repellent fabric, ensuring users can take it outdoors without worrying about their belongings getting damaged.
However, there are plenty of other options available. For example, Argos sells the It Luggage 2 Wheel Soft Business Suitcase in Black for £45, made from microfibre material.
This suitcase is cabin-friendly for some airlines. It has two inset wheels and a retractable handle. It measures 44x38x19cm and boasts five internal pockets, six external pockets, a mobile phone pocket, and an iPod pocket.
For those looking for something more budget-friendly, Dunelm offers the Over Handle Travel Holdall for £10. This 39x30x18cm bag has a stylish and sleek design, is lightweight, water-repellent, and machine washable.
However, the Xkdoai bag has received high praise, with a rating of 4.7 out of five stars from 1,350 reviews on Amazon. One satisfied customer said: “Perfect travel bag. I recently bought this backpack for a trip to Germany and it is excellent. The straps are super comfortable and seem durable enough.”
Another reviewer added: “Excellent backpack. Bought for a two-night trip to Dublin and it fit everything I needed to take. Lots of pockets for passports, toiletries, etc. Sturdy, comfortable straps for carrying. I would highly recommend it.”
One satisfied customer shared: “These bags are brilliant. It fits in the Ryanair slot and has plenty of room inside with extra pockets.”
However, not all reviews were glowing, with some customers voicing their concerns. One disappointed buyer wrote: “It does not vacuum pack as I thought.” Another commented: “The bag itself space-wise is good but the shoulder straps are so small for an adult.”
A happier recent review said: “I bought this rucksack for a four-night holiday and it completely exceeded my expectations. It fit everything I needed – clothes, toiletries, shoes, and even a few extras – and was really easy to pack thanks to the smart compartments and layout.
“It fit perfectly within airline cabin bag size limits, and I had no issues at all taking it on board. It also fits easily into the overhead locker and was comfortable to carry around the airport and during travel. For the price, it’s a fantastic buy. Great quality, practical design, and ideal for short trips – I’d definitely recommend it.”
The Xkdoai for Ryanair Cabin Bag can be snapped up for £16.99 while the Amazon deal is ongoing.
