Supermarket shoppers rush to buy suitcases on sale for just £8 – and they’re perfect for Ryanair flights this summer

Here’s the key information you need to know about regarding some of the key airlines operating in the UK.

Ryanair

All over-sized cabin bags will be refused at the boarding gate, or where available put in the hold for a fee.

It can be no larger than 45cm x 36cm x 20cm, this includes any handles or wheels, and it needs to be able to fit under the seat in front of you.

Any bag larger than the limit, or any additional bags will be put in the hold and you’ll have to pay an airport bag fee.
