This bag meets Ryanair's strict hand luggage rules – and it's just £10
Gone are the days when you could freely wheel a small cabin bag on your short-haul flight. Now, you're allowed just one small personal item while travelling (unless you want to cough up cash for extra baggage). Even carrying a water bottle can load you with a fine – see the recent story of a Ryanair passenger who got charged £50 for a cross-body 750ml flask.
Enter the Narwey bag. With more than 150 million views on TikTok, the cabin bag goes viral each summer for being a Tardis-like solution to Ryanair's strict rules, with its boxy design also complying with easyJet, Wizz Air, Jet2 and more.
Better yet, the luggage will set you back just £10 thanks to Amazon (a fraction of the cost of adding an extra bag to your ticket). If you need further convincing, the Narwey bag comes approved by our travel experts, securing a spot in our review of the best hand luggage bags.
Whether you're heading on a sunny city break or a balmy beach holiday, find out how to buy the bag below – plus everything you need to know about Ryanair's hand luggage restrictions.
How strict is Ryanair with hand luggage?
While easyJet and Wizz also have tricky luggage allowance, Ryanair has a notoriously strict policy. This is mostly down to smaller cabin areas, leaving limited space for excess bags.
More often than not, attendants will measure your bag in a frame before boarding to ensure it complies with their dimensions. If you fail to meet the restrictions or bring a second bag, your bag will be tagged and placed in the aircraft hold subject to a fee anywhere between £40-£60.
What are the Ryanair hand luggage dimensions?
Ryanair allows you to carry on board a small cabin bag measuring 40cm x 20cm x 25cm, which must fit under the seat in front of you.
What hand luggage can you take on Ryanair?
If you need extra hand baggage allowance, you can buy a priority ticket that lets you carry two cabin bags. This includes a small personal bag (40cm x 20cm x 25cm), which must fit under the seat in front of you and a 10kg bag (55cm x 40cm x 20cm) to be stored in the overhead locker.
Dubbed the best budget buy in our review of the best hand luggage bags and being awarded five stars (out of five), Narwey's cabin bag has gone viral on TikTok for good reason. Designed to meet Ryanair's maximum measurements for personal items, our tester said the bag's 'boxy shape means it's impossible to flout them (unlike some other bags, which might risk exceeding restrictions when filled to capacity)',
Their favourite features included the extra-long handles (which extend down to the bottom of the bag, for extra security) and the accessible side pocket.
'We also love the way it folds flat when not in use – on occasions when we were travelling with checked baggage, we could simply empty it and shove it in our suitcase after the flight,' they added. An absolute must-have for any adventure you're planning this summer and beyond.

Tourist reveals bleak reality of city-break hotspot during 'record-breaking' summer
It is estimated that around seven out of 10 visitors to the city are day-trippers - with water taxis filled to the brim and narrow alleys clogged with holidaymakers A tourist has shown a less glamorous side to one of Europe's most beloved cities - sparking fierce debate online. Last year, a staggering 20 million visitors flocked to Venice - significantly outnumbering the city's resident population and resulting in calls for a strict clampdown. It is estimated that around seven out of 10 visitors were day-trippers, which led to the hotspot implementing a controversial tourist tax that has been extended to this summer. Those heading over to the Italian city for the day from April 18 to July 27 will have been hit with a €5 surcharge. Fail to make a reservation in advance and this fee doubles to €10 (around £8.34). But it seems even this drastic measure isn't enough to deter travellers from visiting. It comes after Spanish islands fear Brits won't return as tourists are dealt another blow. Taking to TikTok, American tourist Jenn posted a video showing just how insanely cramped and busy Venice gets during the summer months. Her video, which has garnered more than 106,000 views, shows water taxis filled to the brim with tourists, while narrow alleys are also clogged with bustling holidaymakers. It seems worlds away from the serene images of Venice plastered on travel agents' windows. However, to avoid the selfie-stick stampede, Jen headed over to Murano - a quieter island located away from the Central Square. You won't find St Mark's Basilica or Doge's Palace here, which is why it is often much quieter. However, Murano is world-famous for its glass-making, and is filled with quaint coffee shops, restaurants and similarly stunning architecture. Flocking to the comments section, swathes of viewers slammed Venice's insatiable popularity, with one user branding it an 'overrated city'. Another fumed: "I was only in Venice with my mother for three hours because it was just too crowded. It was absolutely no fun being there. I can recommend Chioggia for that. It's a bit busier these days, but still pleasant." A third added: "Venice is like that all year long. Wait until you see how it is for carnival, this is nothing compared," while a fourth argued: "Venice is always like this." However, others quickly jumped to the city's defence - arguing that while it can get busy, it's well worth putting up with the crowds. "Venice is insanity but there's a reason for it," one person commented. "It's definitely one of the most gorgeous cities on the planet. It's very special." Another agreed, writing: "Venice is beautiful. I love it so much," while a third penned: "We loved it here. We were there last month."

EasyJet passenger slams £21 compo offer and demands proof of bird strike
Melvyn Chazen's flight home from Turkey was delayed when birds are said to have struck the plane's engine. A traveller abandoned in Turkey after his easyJet flight was postponed for "almost 20 hours" has turned down the measly £21 compensation offered by the carrier. Melvyn Chazen, from Wavertree, has demanded the budget airline provide "proof" that a bird strike caused the postponement of flight EZY3408 from Bodrum back to the UK. The 83 year old was scheduled to depart Bodrum at 10.40pm on July 2 when birds allegedly collided with the aircraft, resulting in a five-hour postponement. That initial setback escalated into an overnight stay, with easyJet arranging lodging until the next day. EasyJet has previously expressed regret for the flight postponement and stated it rearranged the service to operate the following day due to a bird strike requiring an engineering assessment. Liverpool Echo reports that, in accordance with easyJet policies, a bird strike is deemed beyond the airline's control, meaning passengers are not offered reimbursement for their flight costs. Nevertheless, Melvyn insisted he requires evidence this occurred, otherwise he believes he deserves a full refund. He also alleged the poor communication from the carrier left him "upset" and claimed he was denied food and refreshments with "nowhere to sit down" for hours. EasyJet stated Melvyn is now getting direct assistance from the travel agent through whom he arranged his holiday and the airline "sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused by the delay". Melvyn explained: "I went to Turkey for a week on holiday, which was fine. The day we were coming home we were picked up from the hotel by the transfer coach and told that the flight had been delayed for five hours. Instead of departing a 10.40pm it was leaving at 3.30am." However, after travellers reached the airport and "waited an hour" to clear security and customs, passengers discovered the flight had been postponed until the next evening. Melvyn revealed: "They put us up in a hotel but we had to go all the way back through customs and back into Turkey. "It took six hours to get back to a hotel in Turkey, all the while there was no refreshments available, no water, no food offered. We were waiting in long queues with nowhere to sit down and not one member of easyJet staff was there to communicate or check on the customers." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The carrier claimed it maintained contact with passengers through text messages, email and Flight Tracker updates, whilst stating the airport assisted travellers with hotel bookings and meal provisions. Nevertheless, Melvyn revealed he couldn't access his emails or get online, and expected an easyJet representative to be present for direct customer communication. On July 3, Melvyn was transported back to the airport by transfer bus, where he finally caught an easyJet service to Liverpool. It was then he discovered the bird strike that had caused the original flight's postponement, with no compensation offered to passengers despite the "20 hour delay". After returning to Britain, Melvyn revealed that easyJet had offered him £21 in compensation to cover his out-of-pocket expenses for food and beverages during the hold-up. He explained that he was required to submit receipts for his expenditure and is now demanding easyJet furnish evidence of the alleged bird strike. Mr Chazen declared: "I have refused to accept the compensation. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for proof that birds flew into the engine. "They asked me for proof of my £21 so I want them to equally prove their case. I paid £446.01 for the holiday. I feel like I'm entitled to ask for proof, to prove that is the reason why they won't pay out." A spokesperson for easyJet holidays responded: "Mr Chazen is now receiving direct support from the travel agent with whom he originally booked his holiday, to assist with guidance and resolution of his expense claim. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused by the delay and appreciate his patience as the matter is brought to a close."

Furious tourist 'offered £21 by easyJet' after being stranded in Turkey
Melvyn Chazen, from Wavertree, is demanding 'proof' after easyJet told customers a bird strike was the reason behind their flight from Bodrum being delayed until the next day A man left stranded in Turkey after his easyJet flight was delayed for "almost 20 hours" has rejected the £21 the airline offered him in compensation. Melvyn Chazen, from Wavertree, has called on the budget airline to provide "proof" that a bird strike forced the delay of flight EZY3408 from Bodrum back to the UK. Melvyn, 83, was meant to fly home from Bodrum at 10.40pm on July 2 when birds are said to have struck the plane, leading to a five-hour delay. That initial delay became an overnight stay, with easyJet providing accommodation until the following day. It comes after a mum who left work 'abruptly' was then found dead in a hotel room. EasyJet previously apologised for the flight being delayed and said it rescheduled the flight to operate the next day due to a bird strike which required an engineering inspection. Liverpool Echo reports that, as in line with easyJet regulations, a bird strike is considered outside of the airlines' control, meaning a passenger refund of the cost of the flight is not offered. However, Melvyn said he wants proof this is what happened otherwise he believes he should be entitled to a refund. He also claimed the time the lack of communication from the airline made him "upset" and said he was left without food and drink and "nowhere to sit down" for hours. EasyJet said Melvyn is now receiving direct support from the travel agent who he booked his holiday with and the airline "sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused by the delay". Melvyn said: "I went to Turkey for a week on holiday, which was fine. The day we were coming home we were picked up from the hotel by the transfer coach and told that the flight had been delayed for five hours. Instead of departing a 10.40pm it was leaving at 3.30am." It was once customers arrived at the airport and "waited an hour" to get through security and customs that passengers were told the flight had been delayed until the following evening. Melvyn said: "They put us up in a hotel but we had to go all the way back through customs and back into Turkey. "It took six hours to get back to a hotel in Turkey, all the while there was no refreshments available, no water, no food offered. We were waiting in long queues with nowhere to sit down and not one member of easyJet staff was there to communicate or check on the customers." The airline said it kept customers informed by text, email and on Flight Tracker. It also said the airport helped customers with arrangements for hotel accommodation and meals. However, Melvyn said he didn't have any access to emails and was unable to get online and hoped an easyJet member of staff would have been there to communicate with customers. On July 3, Melvyn was taken back to the airport via transfer bus, where he eventually boarded an easyJet flight to Liverpool. He said this is when he learned about the bird strike that delayed the previous flight. He said no refund was offered to customers despite the "20 hour delay". Upon arriving back in the UK, Melvyn said easyJet offered him £21 in compensation, which covered the costs of the expenses he paid out on food and drink during the delay. He said he was asked to provide proof of the expenses and now wants easyJet to provide evidence of the bird strike. Mr Chazen said: "I have refused to accept the compensation. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for proof that birds flew into the engine. "They asked me for proof of my £21 so I want them to equally prove their case. I paid £446.01 for the holiday. I feel like I'm entitled to ask for proof, to prove that is the reason why they won't pay out." An easyJet holidays spokesperson said: 'Mr Chazen is now receiving direct support from the travel agent with whom he originally booked his holiday, to assist with guidance and resolution of his expense claim. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused by the delay and appreciate his patience as the matter is brought to a close.'
