Frequently asked questions
Does this backpack fly free with Ryanair?
Yes: it measures 40 x 30 x 20 cm, exactly Ryanair's free bag that goes under the seat in front of you. Avoid overfilling it to the point of changing its shape.

Yes, easyJet's free bag measures 45 x 36 x 20 cm: this backpack fits easily.

The backpack, a toiletry bag and a matching pouch in the same colour: handy for keeping toiletries and small items separate.

Will the new EU rules change anything?
In June 2026, the European Parliament and the Member States reached a provisional agreement: a personal item under the seat and a small 7 kg cabin bag would be included in the standard fare. These rules will not apply before the end of 2027 at the earliest; until then, the sizes in the table above are what count.
