A travel expert has revealed whether 20L, 30L and 40L cabin bags will be cleared to be taken on board Ryanair, Wizz Air and easyJet flights.<\/p>\n

Chelsea Dickenson, founder of cheapholidayexpert.com<\/a>, asked ‘does it fit?’ for the three carry-on bag types when flying with the popular budget airlines, with viral Tiktok<\/a> videos, presented in three parts, showing whether they could be squeezed into the carriers’ dreaded baggage sizers.<\/p>\n

After some pulling, prodding, and stuffing into the airline bag sizers, Chelsea emerges with the final verdicts on each bag, revealing whether they’re ‘truly worth the hype or could potentially lead you to face a hefty fine at the airport’.<\/p>\n

The carry-on bags that Chelsea tested were: the 20L Narwey Duffle – so popular for Ryanair flights that it has become known as the ‘Viral Ryanair Cabin Bag’; the 30L Kono Carry On Backpack; and the 40L Mountain Warehouse 40L Cargo Bag.<\/p>\n

Chelsea discovered that the ‘Ryanair’ Narwey bag ‘did indeed fit into the easyJet, Ryanair, and Wizz Air baggage sizer, with some extra room left on the sides when put into the easyJet sizer’.<\/p>\n

The 30L was ‘harder to squeeze in’, says Chelsea, but she managed to make it fit into all of the baggage sizers – though she noted that ‘it did protrude slightly for Ryanair’, highlighting that ‘some gate staff may not allow [this]’.<\/p>\n

You can see the TikTok video for this part of the experiment here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, the 40L was a ‘no go’ for both Ryanair and Wizz Air, but Chelsea ‘was surprised to find it did – after much pushing and prodding – fit in the easyJet baggage sizer’. You can see the TikTok video for this part of the experiment here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

RYANAIR, EASYJET AND WIZZ AIR BAG ALLOWANCES<\/h3>\n
\n

Ryanair –\u00a0<\/span>Small cabin bag allowance: 40 x 20 x 25cm. Large cabin bag allowance: 55 x 40 x 20cm<\/p>\n

EasyJet –\u00a0<\/span>Small cabin bag allowance: 45 x 36 x 20cm. Large cabin bag allowance: 56 x 45 x 25cm<\/p>\n

Wizz Air –\u00a0<\/span>Small cabin bag allowance: 40 x 30 x 20cm. Large cabin bag allowance: 55 x 40 x 23cm<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Chelsea added: ‘Savvy travellers have long sought ways to outwit budget airlines and evade their exorbitant hand luggage fees.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Fortunately, every passenger is entitled to bring one small cabin bag for free, meaning there are a bunch of bags out there claiming to meet those size requirements set by low-cost airlines.’<\/p>\n

After watching her videos, some of Chelsea’s social media followers commented with baggage-sizer stories.<\/p>\n

User ‘thegirlwiththehoptattoo’ wrote: ‘My friend and I were on a very early morning layover in Madrid airport and had a most enjoyable half an hour watching Ryanair staff try and unjam a suitcase from their size cage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘They’d insisted on all cases being measured and the passenger had shoved theirs in, but it wouldn’t come out. Comedy gold.’<\/p>\n

User amberrosemcg, meanwhile, revealed: ‘My bag fitted in the easyJet small size, but because it was “forced in” I had to pay.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
