A budget-friendly cabin backpack priced at less than £9 has been approved for use on Ryanair and easyJet flights, offering passengers a cost-effective way to avoid hefty baggage fees. The backpack, which fits under the seat, can save travellers up to £50 per trip compared to standard checked baggage charges.
Design and Specifications
The backpack measures 40cm x 20cm x 25cm, meeting the strict size requirements of both airlines. It features a main compartment with a padded laptop sleeve, multiple pockets for organisation, and adjustable straps for comfort. Despite its low price, the bag is made from durable polyester and weighs just 300g.
Cost Savings for Passengers
According to travel experts, using this backpack instead of a standard cabin bag can save passengers up to £50 on a return flight. Ryanair charges £25.99 for a 10kg checked bag each way, while easyJet charges £23.99. By opting for the under-seat backpack, travellers can avoid these fees entirely.
Airline Approval
The backpack has been tested and approved for Ryanair's free personal item policy and easyJet's under-seat allowance. A spokesperson for the retailer said: “We are delighted to offer a product that combines affordability with practicality, helping passengers travel light and save money.”
Availability and Demand
The backpack is available online and in select stores, with high demand expected as the summer travel season approaches. Early reviews praise its value for money and suitability for short trips.
