Lidl travel bag

Seems like good value travel bag from Lidl next Monday. I assume these are ok to put under a seat on a Ryanair flight.

What are the dimensions (including wheels if any)?

I wouldn't assume anything with Ryanair these days, they've gotten very strict on cabin luggage sizing.

measurements here . Too big I’d say

OmegaGene · 23-03-2025 06:38AM

they don’t tend to check the back packs because if there’s any bit of space in the back pack it usually fits into tbe frame, they tend to go for the hard shell cases with wheels for easy pickings

That is too big. They've gone all out checking backpacks recently. If it's not the size stated then you'd be unwise to purchase it.

40x20x25 cm for under seat bag on Ryanair.

See, this is what they've been getting people on - there's an inch or so above the frame - so €60 please (or whatever the fine is)

It clearly will fit under the seat no problem whatsoever, but if there's so much as a wheel or a seam poking above the frame, they have you bang to rights.

I think if someone made a bag, where you could remove the straps and clip them on t carry it on your back. it would be better. ( I could wear the straps under my coat getting on the flight). I think the straps make the bag more bulky and awkward. Thanks @HeidiHeidi , I'm going to get that one you have recommended

HeidiHeidi · 23-03-2025 02:32PM

I haven't recommended any bag!

I got a carry bag (not a backpack) in Dealz recently - cost me €6. It's got 2 carry handles and a crossbody strap, and it fits the Ryanair requirements perfectly. They had small wheelie bags too (hard shell case), but I wasn't going to risk it!

Thanks @HeidiHeidi I might get the same one, great recommendation

HeidiHeidi · 23-03-2025 10:04PM

I am not recommending bags!

Ifyou read my post I'm saying that actually it looks like it's liable to attract fines.....

ThreeGreens · 23-03-2025 11:31PM

I think that the hard cases are much better, provided they fit the size (including the wheels if any).

Reason being is that if you can close it, then it's fine (Very rarely weigh it at the gate…only seen that once, many years ago).

But with the soft bags, they will meet the specification when empty but if you try to stuff them, they expand out rather than remaining rectangular. As a result, they won't fit in the slider.

The hard ones obviously can't expand no matter how much you stuff it.

Thanks for the recommendation Heidi

hynesie08 · 24-03-2025 07:54AM

Bought 8, thanks OP.

I grabbed a 10 euro backpack out of penny's a few weeks back, fits perfectly under the seat, perfect if you're just nipping across the sea for a weekend.

Thanks for the recommendation @HeidiHeidi

HeidiHeidi · 24-03-2025 10:16AM

lesterburnham · 24-03-2025 10:44AM

I was advised to visit this thread by a friend. He said that a great bag was recommended. Looks amazing @HeidiHeidi. Would it be alright to send this on to my local WhatsApp groups? Thanks a million.
