As summer approaches, many Brits might be looking to go abroad for the perfect holiday in the months ahead.
But during a cost of living crisis, many sun-seekers might be looking to go away for as cheap as possible.
Ryanair might be a low-cost airline, but it may have somewhat of a reputation of having strict rules when it comes to baggage, otherwise customers risk having to pay extra charges.
