Hand luggage sizes: Ryanair, EasyJet, BA, Wizz Air and Jet2
Allowances change fairly frequently, but here's the current 2025 cabin bag and under-seat bag allowances across major airlines, including British Airways, easyJet, Wizz Air, Jet2 and Ryanair.
Ryanair's website says: "All our fares include one small personal bag which can be brought on board, such as a handbag or laptop bag (40x20x25cm), which must fit under the seat in front of you."
If you need additional baggage allowance, they also offer a deal for priority boarding and two cabin bags.
The rules say: "This allows you to carry a small personal bag (40x20x25cm), which must fit under the seat in front of you and a 10kg bag (55x40x20cm) onboard, to be stored in the overhead locker. It also allows you to board the plane first using the Priority Boarding queue at the gate."
According to its website, EasyJet says all customers can bring on board:
One small cabin bag
You can also pay extra to add a large cabin bag (or it's included if you have easyJet Plus membership):
It's worth noting - the maximum number of cabin bags available per person is two; one small cabin bag for all customers and one large cabin bag for customers if it's included with their fare or membership benefits or a paid one - you can't have both.
The rules for Jet2 state: "You can bring one piece of hand luggage onboard free of charge, as long as it weighs no more than 10kg and is no larger than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm, including any wheels and handles."
If your hand luggage weighs more or is larger than this, it will need to be checked into the aircraft hold, and you may have to pay an additional charge.
"You can also bring one small under-seat bag onboard (such as a handbag, laptop bag or airport purchase), as long as it doesn't exceed 40cm x 30cm x 15cm in size. This must be placed underneath the seat in front of you."

Additionally, the following items can be taken onboard at no extra cost:
It allows everyone one small carry-on bag, which should be placed under the seat., maximum size: 40 x 30 x 20 cm, 10kg.
The rules state the free carry-on can be one of the following:
But it must be a maximum of 40 x 30 x 20 cm, 10kg
There is an option to add a larger carry-on bag (such as a trolley bag or any other bag within size limitations), along with priority check-in and boarding.
Exceeding these dimensions will result in additional fees being charged.

ANNE ASHWORTH checks out the shares of soar-away airline companies
This weekend will be one of the busiest periods of the summer at airports as hundreds of thousands of people depart for their annual break. Queuing for a coffee or to board the plane, some travellers will be focused solely on their plans for fun in the sun. But holidaymakers whose other passion is investing will also be looking for indications of the health of the stock market-quoted British and Irish airlines. They are: IAG (owner of British Airways and Iberia); easyJet; Jet2; Ryanair; and Wizz Air. Do the crowds mean that shares in these companies are poised to be up, up and away? The Jet2 jingle 'Nothing Beats a Jet2 Holiday' has turned into a massive social media hit – in a response said to reflect the nation's longing for a getaway amid economic gloom. And there is evidence the British are prioritising holidays, too. Earlier this month Luis Gallego, chief executive of IAG, whose empire also includes Aer Lingus and Vueling, said: 'We continue to benefit from the trend of a structural shift in consumer spending towards travel.' In the depths of the pandemic in October 2020, IAG shares were 91p. Yesterday, they were 373.7p. Gallego's confidence was underlined by IAG's first-half profits which leapt by 44 per cent to €1.9billion (£1.65billion). Total revenues rose by 8 per cent to €15.9billion (£13.8billion). There has been a pick-up in premium transatlantic trips, which is boosting British Airways' Rask (revenue per available seat kilometre), a key metric. Gallego envisages 'good earnings growth, margin progression and strong returns to shareholders this year'. But he also highlighted 'the ongoing uncertainty that may result from the geopolitical and macroeconomic backdrop'. This confident tone may come as a surprise, given the array of external challenges that beset airlines. Richard Hunter, of Interactive Investor, cites a few: 'Virus outbreaks; industrial action; volcanic dust clouds; higher fuel costs; and technical outages.' But people's attachment to vacations may serve as a signal to rethink your attitude to the sector. If you want to jump on board, these are the airlines that the experts think are worth backing. IAG Since the start of the year, IAG shares have soared by 23 per cent, although they remain 32 per cent below their level a decade ago. Interactive Investor's Hunter is cheered by the reintroduction of a dividend and the reduction in debts. During the pandemic, the group borrowed heavily to ensure its survival. However, despite IAG largely leaving this era behind, some effects linger. Virtual meetings, the norm during lockdowns, have continued, meaning a decline in business travel. Analysts expect IAG's recovery to gather pace. Eight of the 16 analysts who follow the stock rate IAG a 'buy' while another seven consider the shares worth holding. The average target price is 488p. EASYJET Shares are down by 4 per cent this year to 507.6p, which seems largely due to the third-quarter results unveiled last month. Revenues grew by 9.7 per cent to £2.9billion and profits rose by 21 per cent to £286m. EasyJet's holiday division is expanding, too, which should be good news for its Rask. Yet investors were more preoccupied with other factors, such as the bill for an air traffic controller strike in France, a leap in fuel costs and a move to later booking. As a result, 11 of 19 analysts rate the shares a 'hold; for the rest the shares are a 'buy'. If you are prepared for some ups and downs, Derren Nathan of Hargreaves Lansdown argues that easyJet's potential for growth is not reflected in its current valuation. JET2 The direction of the share price of this Leeds-based airline has not followed the rave reception for its advertisement which features Jess Glynne's hit Hold My Hand. Hollywood star Jeff Goldblum even made his own version of the advert, calling it Jeff2 Holiday. Since January, the shares have edged up by just 4 per cent to 1632p, although profits for the year to March rose by 11 per cent to £578m. Chief executive Steve Heapy said last month that demand is up among all demographics and it is endeavouring to cater for a younger clientele with more affordable offers. Analysts seem to agree that this strategy will win over customers who are organising an overseas jaunt at the last moment. The majority rate the shares in the £3.4billion AIM-listed company a 'buy', with an average target price of 2164p. Maybe Goldblum will add some to his portfolio? RYANAIR This week Ryanair, Europe's largest airline, announced that its passenger numbers reached a record 20.7m in July, although the Dublin-based carrier was forced to cancel more than 600 flights due to the air traffic control strikes in France. This followed the news last month that its profits for the first quarter more than doubled to €820m (£711m), while revenues leapt by 20 per cent to €4.3billion (£3.7billion). The optimistic tone of these announcements is at odds with the usual litany of complaints over the late delivery of planes from Boeing and much else from the rambunctious Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary. But he has reasons to be cheerful, having qualified for a €100m (£86.7m) bonus thanks to the much-improved share price. It has soared by 74 per cent over the past year to €26 (£22.54). Analysts believe that O'Leary will deliver for investors as well as himself. They rate the shares a 'buy', with one analyst targeting a price of €30 (£26). WIZZ AIR The Eastern Europe-focused budget carrier is based in Budapest but listed in London. At 1418p, its shares are 5 per cent lower than at the start of this year, having plunged in June when the company revealed a 40 per cent drop in profits. This was mostly caused by the grounding of about a fifth of its Airbus planes due to persistent problems with the Pratt & Whitney engines. Last month, chief executive Jozsef Varadi said that the company would be scaling back its growth plans. He is abandoning expansion in the Middle East because the region's dry air exacerbates the engine issues. Unsurprisingly, most analysts consider Wizz to be a hold, although Deutsche begs to differ, having upgraded the shares to a 'buy' in the past fortnight. The international set Tariff fears are weighing on US carriers. These companies are also dealing with an oversupply of flights, as customers become more price-sensitive. American Airlines shares are 33 per cent lower than at the start of the year, for example. But Delta and United are faring better thanks to the clamour for premium travel. United is investing in its Polaris premium service, planning to open more lounges for top-tier travellers. Analysts rate United shares, which currently stand at $89.87 (£66.85), a 'buy'. America's ultra-wealthy are increasingly underlining their status by using more private jets. But some also favour a carrier that provides something similar to the private jet experience in its first class cabin. Shares in Air France-KLM, which is listed in Amsterdam and Paris, have soared by 64 per cent this year thanks to the clever and lavish redesign of its La Premiere first class cabin with its private jet feel. A one-way ticket from New York to Paris costs between $10,000-$20,000 (£7,440 to £14,880). This is the luxe way to embark on that Emily In Paris escapade. Other airlines will doubtless be competing more for the holiday and business travel budgets of those people with very deep pockets. Premium seems like the way to go.

Pilot having heart attack manages to land tourists safely on volcano then dies
Igor Kan, 59, became ill while flying tourists to see the Krasheninnikov volcano in eastern Russia which erupted this week and he was able to make an emergency landing - but he could not be saved A pilot suffering a heart attack heroically landed a helicopter carrying tourists on an active volcano before he died. Igor Kan, 59, became ill on a single pilot Robinson as he was taking three holidaymakers to see the Krasheninnikov volcano in eastern Russia which erupted this week for the first time in 600 years. He made an emergency landing, saving the lives of his passengers, but he tragically died before medical assistance arrived to help him. Aviaincident channel reported: 'The pilot of a private helicopter carrying four passengers suffered a heart attack, but managed to make an emergency landing. "(He) requested medical assistance but the pilot died before the arrival of the medical helicopter.' It comes after Ryanair passengers band together as staff charge woman £75 luggage fee. Woman travels 8 hours for wedding only to be told to leave for not reading invite 'small print' While the regional prosecutor's office in Kamchatka confirmed that he was forced into emergency landing. It stated: 'He felt unwell during the landing on the volcano." And a medical helicopter came but he could not be saved, while the other people who had been onboard were evacuated. 'During the flight, the pilot felt ill, but he was able to land the aircraft,' reported Region 41 media outlet. 'Unfortunately, it was not possible to save the man. Rescuers quickly arrived on a Mi-8 helicopter of the Russian Emergencies Ministry and evacuated everyone to the city of Elizovo.' "After landing, the pilot reported a heart attack. An air ambulance was being prepared to take off, but during this time, the man's condition worsened. It was not possible to save him,' added Gazeta news outlet. The body of the tragic pilot was taken down from the volcano. The pilot offered £4,700 flights to the spectacular Krasheninnikov volcano as well as the Valley of the Geysers, one of Russia's leading tourists sights. News outlet 112 said: 'Three tourists were evacuated from the volcano. They were not injured. All were taken to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, [the regional capital].' The pilot underwent regular medical examinations and had no health complaints, according to his acquaintances. He regularly flew tourists on excursions in his private Robinson helicopter. Some reports said there had been six tourists on the helicopter, but his model was a Robinson R44, which has four seats, allowing for the pilot and three passengers. A probe has been launched into the incident. The volcano erupted this week for the first time in centuries after a major undersea earthquake off Kamchatka of 8.8 on the Richter scale. The earthquake triggered a tsunami warning across the Pacific Ocean.

Ryanair flights to Alicante, Ibiza, Mallorca and Tenerife cancelled
Ryanair flights to Alicante, Ibiza, Mallorca and Tenerife cancelled The airline have cancelled flights to key Spanish destinations amid prolonged baggage handler strike The budget airline has already scrapped services to and from Alicante, Ibiza, Palma de Mallorca, and Tenerife South from its timetables. (Image: Birmingham Live) Ryanair has axed flights to beloved Spanish holiday hotspots during the summer holidays as an extended baggage handler strike threatens to wreak havoc on operations through to the year's end. The budget airline has already scrapped services to and from Alicante, Ibiza, Palma de Mallorca, and Tenerife South from its timetables. Additional chaos was anticipated throughout Ryanair's entire Spanish operation - despite the carrier insisting disruption would be kept to a minimum. The news follows the airline's cancellation of over 800 flights due to 'conflict' last month. The industrial dispute has been orchestrated by Spain's UGT union, involving workers from Azul Handling - Ryanair's own ground handling division - who are employed at 12 of the airline's Spanish hubs. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here . The initial walkout is scheduled for Friday, August 15, with subsequent strikes planned for every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday through to Wednesday, December 31. Three busy periods will be hit by the action - 5am to 9am, noon to 3pm, and 9pm to midnight. The ongoing stoppages will impact services at Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante, Malaga, Seville, Ibiza, Palma de Mallorca, Girona, Tenerife South, Lanzarote, and Santiago de Compostela. The union states the strikes are a response to what it characterises as "exploitative working conditions". Union representatives alleged that Azul Handling had consistently disregarded their demands. Jose Manuel Perez Grande, federal secretary of the FeSMC-UGT Air Union, slammed the company for pursuing "a strategy of precariousness and pressure on the workforce that violates basic labour rights and systematically ignores union demands". Travellers have already begun receiving alerts about alterations to their travel plans. (Image: Tang Ming Tung via Getty Images) While Spanish legislation requires minimum service levels during strike action, the practical implications of this requirement remain unclear. A Ryanair spokesperson insisted: "Ryanair does not expect any disruption to our operation as a result of these third-party handling strikes in Spain." Article continues below However, travellers have already begun receiving alerts about alterations to their travel plans. The carrier has informed impacted passengers they can choose between full refunds, travel vouchers, or rebooking onto different flights.
