Amazon shoppers are raving about a budget bag that's tailor-made for Ryanair's underseat size rules - and it's now under £10 for Prime members.
Narwey Cabin Bag, £9.99 with Prime (was £15.99)
May is the perfect time to escape on a mini-break, especially with two long Bank Holiday weekends within the space of a month.
For those flying with Ryanair and other budget airlines, keeping luggage costs low is essential to make the trip as affordable as possible.
The Narwey Cabin bag has become a popular choice for budget-conscious travellers on Amazon, offering a simple and cost-effective solution.
It's currently the retailer's best-selling travel duffel bag, making it a must-have for holidaymakers looking to save cash - providing they have a Prime subscription.
This handy travel bag is specifically designed to fit Ryanair's free underseat cabin bag allowance: you're guaranteed to avoid those pesky baggage fees.
Even better, the bag is now reduced to just £9.99 for Amazon Prime members, a huge 38% discount from its original price of £15.99.
Measuring 40 x 19 x 25 cm, it will fit perfectly under the plane seat in front of you, eliminating the need to pay extra for overhead cabin storage.
It also features a clever strap that allows it to slide over the handles of larger suitcases, and comes with an external pocket for all your flight essentials.
You'll also find it's available in a wide variety of colours and designs.
Reviews suggest that it may not hold up for years of frequent use (let's be honest, this is an incredibly cheap item). But for the odd trip, it will likely do the job.
The bag has been well-received by customers, with over 14,000 reviews on Amazon and an average rating of 4.3 out of 5.
One happy shopper writes: "The size is perfect for Ryanair's underseat cabin bag requirements.
"This makes it incredibly convenient for short trips or as additional cabin luggage without the need for overhead compartment space."
Another shopper wrote: "I was really worried about it fitting under the seat as it looks really big in real life and I measured each side about 20 times.
"The dimensions are as described. In the end it fitted into the bag size checker with ease on both my flights."
"I used this bag for a weekend trip and fitted everything I needed, including spare shoes and trousers, without a problem," a third reviewer added.
"It's fairly sturdy, but definitely not waterproof... Still, it's great value for money, easily foldable when not in use, and comes with a handy adjustable shoulder strap."
While the Narwey Cabin bag may not last for years of heavy travel, it's a brilliant choice for anyone heading off on a quick and inexpensive holiday.
At under £10 for Prime members, it's an absolute bargain and a practical option for budget travellers looking to pack light.

Ryanair warns passengers after hundreds miss flights amid airport chaos

The budget airline has issued a stark warning to passengers as Portugal experiences airport chaos with more than 270 passengers missing their flights in the last two weeks Ryanair has issued a stern warning to holidaymakers following travel turmoil at several Portuguese airports, leaving hundreds stranded at departure gates. The budget airline reported that over the past fortnight, more than 270 passengers have missed their flights due to lengthy queues and severe understaffing at border control. The most significant delays are being experienced at Faro, Lisbon and Porto airports, with wait times reportedly extending up to an astonishing two and a half hours. ‌ In a statement released on Monday, Ryanair condemned the situation as "completely unacceptable", urging Portugal's new government to address the staffing crisis. ‌ "In just the past two weeks, over 270 passengers missed their flights at these airports due to excessive delays caused by understaffed border controls," the airline stated. The problem began to intensify around 26 May, with the airline cautioning that families, including those travelling with young children, were getting caught in the chaos. The issue is particularly severe during morning peak hours, when passenger numbers surge and border posts are overwhelmed, reports the Mirror. Ryanair blamed airport operator ANA for failing to adequately prepare for the annual summer travel influx. The statement continued, "The new government should take urgent measures to ensure that border control at Portuguese airport is duly equipped with resources. " It also emphasised the urgency for proactive measures to avert further turmoil as the busy season approaches, "especially during the morning rush hour, in order to avoid unnecessary delays and more people unfairly missing their flights". Neal McMahon, Operations Director at Ryanair, termed the current circumstances as "unsustainable," cautioning of an escalation in problems as passenger numbers soar in the summer. ‌ Portugal's Minister of Infrastructure, Miguel Pinto Luz, recently attempted to quell rising anxieties by assuring that issues with border controls would be "resolved within two weeks". The PSP police force has committed to introducing 500 additional officers to fortify airport security and manage border checks in Lisbon, Porto, Madeira, and the Azores starting from July. ‌ An initiative for immediate reinforcements at Faro Airport, where the situation has been especially severe, is already in motion. Travellers planning trips to or via Portugal are urged to allot extra time for airport arrival to avoid potentially missing their flights. This development unfolds as travel agencies have observed a significant number of UK holiday-goers opting for north African destinations over customary European retreats. The lure seems to be the region's abundance of competitively priced high-quality accommodation compared to costlier options in traditional holiday spots like Spain, France, and Italy. North African nations including Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia are witnessing a surge in visitors from the UK. According to aviation analysts Cirium, an estimated 19,847 flights are expected to operate from UK airports to these countries this year, more than double the 8,653 flights recorded in 2019. In contrast, the number of flights to Spain and Portugal is predicted to rise by just 10 per cent and 9 per cent respectively over the same period.

Shoppers warned about quick online payment option that could end up costing you £1,000s

A WARNING has been issued to shoppers over a quick payment option that can cost £1,000s. Which? is urging caution over use of the "pay by bank" feature which lacks key consumer protection. 1 The payment feature lets shoppers pay for products without the need to enter bank details or use a card. It is used by popular online retailers such as WHSmith, Just Eat, Funky Pigeon and Ryanair. You can also use it to settle credit card balances or pay bills. However, Which? has raised concerns people may be unaware it can leave them unprotected if something goes wrong with a purchase. The option lacks Section 75 and chargeback protections that shoppers get when paying through other methods. Under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act, a credit card company can be held jointly liable for a purchase that turns out to be shoddy or does not materialise. This means a shopper can potentially get a refund from the credit card company if they cannot recover their costs from a retailer. Those using a debit card or credit card for purchases can also potentially get their money back via the chargeback scheme. Which? said pay by bank is a "potential game changer" for businesses as they can sidestep card transaction fees and also benefit from receiving customer funds immediately. There is also appeal for shoppers as refunds can be processed instantly. Shopping discounts - How to make savings and find the best bargains While card details are not shared when making a transaction – eliminating the risk of them being stolen or compromised. People do have general purchase rights under the Consumer Rights Act, meaning that goods must be fit for purpose, as described and of satisfactory quality. But Which? said these protections are not always easy to enforce and in some cases may end up with people needing to go to a small claims court. People may also face difficulties in the event of a business going bust. This could particularly be the case if there is an issue with a future-dated purchase such as a flight, a festival, or a household big ticket purchase such as a kitchen or a sofa. Jenny Ross, Which? money editor, said: 'Innovations like pay by bank present opportunities for businesses and consumers alike, but they're not without risk, particularly as they lack the rigorous purchase protections you get when paying by card. 'We're calling on the regulator to act to ensure consumers can use pay by bank with confidence, but in the meantime, we'd urge consumers to think carefully before using it to book events or make substantial purchases – for now, your good old-fashioned credit or debit card may be the best option.' A spokesperson for banking and finance industry body UK Finance said: 'There are a range of options for making payments online which provides customers with choice as to how they wish to pay. "Different payment methods do come with different levels of protection and it's worth being aware of these when shopping online, particularly when making higher value purchases." What is Section 75 protection? Section 75 protection offers you consumer protection on credit card purchases worth between £100 and £30,000. It applies to any products or services you've bought that end up being faulty, broken, or were not delivered at all. It also covers you in the case a retailer you've bought from goes bust. Section 75 applies to goods bought online, over the phone or via mail order. You aren't covered by Section 75 if you bought anything with a debit card, but may be under chargeback. To make a claim under Section 75, you need to contact your credit card provider. It should then send you a claim form which you can fill in and your provider will use to process your application. Your card firm might ask you to provide evidence such as a receipt or a report verifying that the item is faulty. In the scenario where a retailer has not gone bust, you should complain to them first. If you find that your card company has been unhelpful and refused your claim, you can take your case to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).

Amazon must face authors' lawsuit over audiobook distribution, US judge rules

June 11 (Reuters) - (AMZN.O), opens new tab must face a lawsuit by independent authors accusing the e-commerce giant of monopolizing the retail market for audiobooks and causing them to overpay for the distribution of their works, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Jennifer Rochon in the federal court in Manhattan rejected, opens new tab for now Amazon's bid to dismiss the proposed class action by author Christine DeMaio, who publishes under the name CD Reiss. Reiss sued last year, alleging Amazon's audiobooks unit Audible violated antitrust law by charging higher distribution fees for independent and self-published writers who decline to participate in a program that makes Amazon the exclusive distributor for books on Audible for 90 days. The program offers self-published authors 40% royalties for book distribution, compared with 25% for authors who chose non-exclusive, competitive distribution. Amazon and Audible did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Amazon has denied any wrongdoing, saying the audiobook market is 'healthy and competitive.' Steve Berman, a lead attorney for Reiss, on Wednesday said they welcomed Rochon's order and looked forward to the next phase of the litigation. Audible is the world's largest audiobook retailer, accounting for more than 60% of domestic purchasing compared with about 20% for Apple, according to the lawsuit. Amazon, in seeking dismissal of the lawsuit, said Reiss had shown no evidence that Audible's program had induced any authors to sign an exclusive deal. Amazon also told Rochon that it was lawful for the company to spend more resources promoting its exclusive content than on other titles. The lawsuit seeks more than $5 million in damages and class action status for thousands of authors. The case is CD Reiss v. U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, No. 2:24-cv-00851. For plaintiff: Steve Berman of Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro; and Phil Cramer of Sperling Kenny Nachwalter For defendant: Carrie Mahan, Ben Mundel and Randi Singer of Sidley Austin Read more: Amazon must face part of online retailer's pricing lawsuit, US judge rules Amazon slams authors' class action over audiobook distribution Amazon accused of audiobook monopoly in author class action
