The best UK beaches you can reach by train in one hour or less

The best UK beaches you can reach by train in one hour or less

Telegraph22-05-2025

The summer is fast approaching, and so too are our thoughts of the beach. Whether you favour a traditional, bucket-and-spades affair, or prefer somewhere more peaceful, the coastline is the place to be on a sunny day. And while some of the more remote spots require a car to reach them, many of our most spectacular beaches are perfectly accessible by train – meaning there's no need to negotiate parking arrangements or struggle with traffic. Here are some of the best UK beaches accessible by train.
Find a beach in:
England
From Newcastle: Tynemouth Beach
The beaches of the north east are among Britain's best. Alternately melancholy and tropical, they make for a fantastic day out from, say, Newcastle or Durham. Among the best is Tynemouth Longsands, overlooked by the ruined Tynemouth priory. Best of all, it's accessible by the Metro – take a speedy trip from Newcastle and you're at the seaside. Braver visitors should head out into the water for a bracing swim (read our guide to open water swimming here), or join the throngs of surfers and catch a wave.
How to get there
On the Metro, take the YEL line from Monument station, in the centre of Newcastle, to Tynemouth (towards South Shields via Whitley Bay). The journey takes around 25 minutes.
Where to stay
No 61 offers well-appointed bed and breakfast rooms from £130 per night.
From Liverpool: Crosby Beach
Crosby Beach reached some notoriety with the installation of Anthony Gormley's Another Place sculptures. The statues are enduringly powerful, but the beach itself, even without artistic intervention, is a beautiful place for a coastal walk. Check the tides before visiting, wander along the sands, and then visit one of Crosby's elegant bars – Liverpool Road Social is a favourite.
How to get there
Take the Merseyrail train from Liverpool Central to Blundellsands & Crosby station (20 mins), or Waterloo (17 mins), and walk along the stretch of coastline.
Where to stay
The Lake House Waterloo has modern, family-friendly rooms that look across the water. Prices start at £86 per night.
From London: Broadstairs
Londoners have long been visiting Brighton and Margate for summer sun. If the crowds are too much, though, try getting off the train earlier, at Broadstairs. Charles Dickens stayed here while writing Bleak House, and the house in which he stayed sits on a promontory over the wide expanse of beach. Head down to the sands to sunbathe, or, for a sweet treat, hop between the town's numerous ice cream parlours – try Morelli's for an unbeatable gelato.
How to get there
Southeastern trains from London St Pancras to Broadstairs take one hour and 20 minutes.
Where to stay
The Botany Bay Hotel is a family-friendly pub with rooms, situated around 10 minutes from Broadstairs. Rooms start at £126 per night.
Scotland
From Edinburgh: Pettycur Beach
Pettycur Beach is a small and sheltered bay backed by grand sand dunes. Its minimal facilities mean this probably isn't one for a young family, but make it ideal for a tranquil afternoon at the coast. It's a remarkably peaceful place with views across the Firth of Forth. And if you're a dog-owner, visit when the tide is out to frolic along the wide sands.
How to get there
Take the Scotrail train from Edinburgh Waverley to Perth, disembarking at Kinghorn (around 40 minutes). It's then a 15 minute walk to the beach.
Where to stay
Cardinals Folly is a cosy b&b in a converted Victorian church. From £87 per night, including breakfast.
From Glasgow: Troon
Close to cafes, shops and restaurants, Troon's popular beach is ideal for a summer day out. A day on the esplanade might include a game of hide-and-seek in the Italianate garden, or a scramble over the climbing frame in the well-equipped playground. Throughout the summer months, kite-surfers make it their regular spot. And the two-hour, two-mile treasure trail is a pleasing diversion regardless of the weather.
How to get there
The ScotRail train from Glasgow to Ayr stops off in Troon, taking around 40 minutes.
Where to stay
Marine Troon is a landmark hotel, primarily (but not exclusively) favoured by golfers. Its rooms offer spectacular views across to the Isle of Arran. From £265 per night.
From Inverness: Nairn
'Astrotourism' – that is, the pursuit of astronomical phenomena – is being lauded as a 'travel trend' for this year. If this is true, Nairn beach should be among the busiest places in the country. Its pretty sands are a perfect spot to watch the sun set, complemented by views across the Moray Forth. In winter, the Northern Lights regularly dance across its dark skies.
How to get there
Take the ScotRail train from Inverness to Nairn (around 20 minutes), then walk for about 20 minutes down to the beach.
Where to stay
Golf View Hotel and Spa has Nairn's beach on its doorstep. A night's stay starts at £182 per night.
Wales
From Cardiff: Llantwit Major Beach
Surfers adore Llantwit Major Beach for its adrenaline-boosting waves. Those who are less confident in the water, however, should head to the popular spot for its rockpooling opportunities. Children will adore finding waterborne wildlife, while adults will, secretly, get a thrill from the nostalgia of it all. The coastline here is also home to Britain's tiniest resident butterfly, the Small Blue – keep your eyes peeled while wandering along the clifftops.
How to get there
Take the Transport for Wales train from Cardiff Central to Llantwit Major (around 45 minutes). It's a half-an-hour walk to the beach.
Where to stay
The Great House Guest House lives up to its name. The charming, Grade II-listed cottage offers rooms from £135 (and its afternoon tea comes highly recommended).
From Porthmadog: Barmouth Beach
For those visiting Snowdonia, Barmouth is a charming coastal diversion. Go hiking in the national park's valleys, and then relax on its wide, open sands. The traditional spot has it all – ice cream shops, fish and chips, amusement arcades – but somehow never gets overcrowded, meaning respite can be found on its coves, too. At low tide, it's possible to walk along the sands to Harlech in the north.
How to get there
Trains run to Barmouth from Porthmadog (one hour) and Shrewsbury (two and a half hours), both with Transport for Wales.
Where to stay
Llwyndu is a 400-year-old, honeysuckle-fronted and clotted-cream-coloured farmhouse, offering rooms from £120 per night.
Northern Ireland
From Belfast: Ballyholme Bay
Bangor's Ballyholme Bay is the antidote to a busy day in Belfast. Take a picnic and watch the comings-and-goings of the Yacht Club, whose members can be seen making the most of good weather. If you fancy trying your hand at watersports, take an introductory sailing course here, or try your hand at windsurfing.
How to get there
A half-an-hour Translink train journey from Belfast's Lanyon Place station will take you to Bangor. From there, it's a 20 minute walk to Ballyhome Bay.
Where to stay
The Harrison Hotel is a quirky and eccentric place to stay in Belfast. Rooms from £167 per night.
From Derry/Londonderry: Castlerock Beach
An antidote to England's sewage-blighted beaches, Castlerock is regularly awarded Blue Flag status for its clear waters. Anglers adore it for its fruitful fishing opportunities, while the dramatic cliffs to the west make for spectacular photography opportunities. There's boardwalk access, making it easy to weave through the dunes, plus a summer lifeguard service. And if you are taking the car (not that you'll need to), there's free parking, too.
How to get there
The train from Derry/Londonderry to Castlerock takes around half an hour with Translink.
Where to stay
The Bishop's Gate Hotel is a grand former gentleman's club in the bigger city. Rooms from £179 per night.

I missed doomed Air India jet by 10mins because of bad traffic – I am shaking and devastated but thank God for saving me

A WOMAN passenger who was supposed to board the doomed Air India Flight AI171 to London was miraculously saved after she missed boarding by just 10 minutes. Bhoomi Chauhan narrowly escaped death when she got stuck in traffic on the way to Ahmedabad airport and failed to board the fatal flight. 8 8 8 8 The Boeing 787 Dreamliner with 242 passengers on board - including 53 Brits - smashed into a doctors' hostel in Ahmedabad in the west of India. At least 204 bodies have so far been recovered from the Air India plane crash disaster site, according to cops. But good fortune managed to save one traveller on Thursday. The "devastated" woman told local media that she was "absolutely shivering" following the realisation she was minutes away from certain death. Chauhan told Republic: "I am completely devastated after hearing about the loss (of lives). "My body is literally shivering. I am not being able to talk." The shaken holidaymaker added: "My mind is totally blank now after hearing all that has happened. "I got late because of traffic in Ahmedabad." Asked about her initial reaction to the horrifying plane crash, she said that she felt "lucky" to have missed the disaster flight. Six dead in San Diego plane crash as Cessna slams into ocean after pilot made haunting final call to air traffic control "I am thankful to God. My Ganpati Bappa saved me," she said. Chauhan also explained that her husband lives in London, and that she was visiting India for a holiday after having not been back in two years. The lucky woman was set to fly back to London alone. But a ten minute delay mean that she had to go back home after missing her flight. She said: "Just because of those ten minutes, I could not board the flight. I don't know how to explain this. Terrifying footage showed the moment the packed passenger plane heading to London crashed in India with 242 people on board leaving "no survivors". On board the flight were 169 Indian nationals, 53 Brits, a Canadian and seven Portuguese travellers. 11 of the passengers were children. 8 8 The number of dead bodies recovered so far include passengers on the plane and people that were on the ground at the time. Seconds before the crash, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner was filmed flying low over the Meghani Nagar residential area with the pilots appearing to be in a desperate bid to keep the plane in the air. Moments later it is seen disappearing behind buildings before a huge blast erupts in the distance. Thick plumes of black smoke can be seen quickly pouring into the skies. According to flight tracking website Flightradar, the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner's final signal was received just seconds after take-off. This was last logged at 1:38pm local time - less than a minute after it started the journey. In a statement the airline said: "Flight AI171, operating Ahmedabad-London Gatwick was involved in an accident on 12 June 2025. "At this moment, we are ascertaining the details and will share further updates at the earliest opportunity." Out of the 242 on board, 169 were Indian travellers, one Canadian and seven Portuguese nationals alongside the Brits. King Charles II said he was "desperately shocked" by Thursday's air crash in India, sending "prayers and deepest possible sympathies" to the families of those affected. "My wife and I have been desperately shocked by the terrible events in Ahmedabad this morning," the monarch wrote on Instagram, calling it a "heartbreaking and traumatic time". 8 8 Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the crash was "devastating", while his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi said it was "heartbreaking beyond words". Air India's chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran described the incident as a "tragic accident" and a "devastating event" and said emergency response teams are at the site. The US-built Boeing 787 is one of the world's most advanced airliners and the accident is the first fatal crash involving the plane. There are more than 1,000 Dreamliners in service across the world. It follows a number of deadly aviation disasters in recent months. In December, 179 people died after a plane at Muan International Airport in South Korea crashed into a wall.

‘A godsend at 5am': the ultimate, sometimes surprising, festival kit list, by the experts

Packing for a festival is serious business: get it wrong, and it can mean the difference between the best weekend ever to one spent wet and miserable with a bad back (shout out to my friend Amy who forgot her raincoat for last year's Lost Village, a daytime-focused music festival set in a woodland, and was forced to wear a bin bag). The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. More so than normal camping, festival packing requires taking the right stuff to be comfortable on your feet all day (and probably night), but packing light enough to be able to lug it all to your site. You can't change the date of a festival to a weekend with better weather, which could mean heatwaves or thunderstorms. Or both. I've been going to festivals since I was 15, and have learned the hard way about what you should and shouldn't bring. I've also asked seasoned festival-goers – from parents of young kids to the Guardian's own music desk, who cover Glastonbury every year – for their tips and hard-won advice. Many recommended the same things, showing just how useful they are (hiking boots and round shoulder bags, we're looking at you). From a head torch to chafe cream, here's everything they recommend (beyond the obvious), and the things they wouldn't bother bringing. Coleman Darwin four-person blackout tent £169.99 at Halfords£178.99 at Amazon Quechua two-person 2-second assembly blackout tent £99.99 at Decathlon I recommend getting a tent with some kind of 'blackout' tech. My Coleman one has performed really well, even in the California desert for Coachella. Not only does it keep the tent interior really dark in the mornings, but blocking out the sun means it's also much cooler than a regular tent. If you've rolled into bed at 5am, this is a double godsend! Ben Beaumont-Thomas, music editor Not sure you'll use your tent beyond the festival? If you buy an own-brand tent from Decathlon between now and 14 September, you can return it once you've used it in exchange for a gift card (of the same value you bought it for) as part of the retailer's tent pledge scheme. Decathlon will then re-sell the tent through its Second Life programme at a reduced price, reducing waste and making camping accessible to more people. SnoozZy cotton eye mask £10 at Tesco£15 at Boots If you already have a tent and it isn't blackout, a good-quality eye mask can also prevent you from being rudely woken up by first light or allow you to catch some winks during the day. Quechua camping mallet £4.99 at Decathlon Last year at Lost Village, the ground was rock solid, and we couldn't peg the tent down properly. We were woken up the next morning to our tent trying to take off after Storm Lilian ripped out all the pegs. Lesson learned. This one from Decathlon also has a handy peg remover on the end. Simond rechargeable head torch £24.99 at Decathlon A hands-free head torch is perfect for being able to find your way around a dark tent, and makes it a lot easier to get ready for bed. For more options, see our review of the best head torches (this one was rated the best budget pick). Gorilla tape £4.95 at B&Q£2.59 at Amazon Just in case you have any broken poles or need to plug a hole in your tent. One roll to share with your group will do. Jetboil Flash 1.0 litre fast cooking system £120 at Cotswold Outdoor£150 at Ellis Brigham Yes, you can buy hot drinks. But if you want one first thing in the morning, take a Jetboil – it packs down really small but can quickly boil enough water for a few cups of tea. Multifunction tarp camping shelter £44.99 at Decathlon£45 at Argos Shade can be hard to come by at festivals, and having something like this can provide much-needed respite. A tarp shade can be put over your tent to keep it cool, or in between tents to create a shelter from the sun or rain. It's smaller than a gazebo, which many festivals ban. Custom flags From £6.69 at Etsy 2.7m pocket flagpole From £13.99 at Funky Leisure When trying to pack light, a flag and pole probably aren't top of your list of must-haves. But take it from us: a marker can be unbelievably handy for finding your campsite among a sea of tents. 5mm grippy and comfortable yoga mat £24.99 at Decathlon Easy Camp kestrel mat £44.95 at LiGo£44.99 at John Lewis A yoga mat makes a great sleeping mat – and attaches to the back of a rucksack with the elastics. This one from Decathlon is 5mm thick for more comfort and has a useful carry strap. Or check out our guide to the best camping mattresses. Our expert Linda Geddes put some of the best through rigorous testing, and rated this Easy Camp one as the best option for festivals. Flents Quiet Time comfort foam earplugs £8.96 for 10 pairs at Amazon You can't choose who camps next to you, and there's nothing more frustrating than trying to sleep while someone blasts drum'n'bass. These are great, with a fine foam that keeps the sound out while also being comfortable. Take two pairs, just in case you lose one. Anker 165W £89.99 at Anker£69.99 at Amazon Anker Nano £29.99 at Anker£29.99 at Currys Always have a couple of charging packs that you can alternate – a big one for the tent, a small one to travel with you (I've got a big Anker one that has quite a few charges in it). Gwilym Mumford, culture editor, Saturday Magazine Check out the best power banks and battery packs for reliable charging on the go, tested Quechua compact camping chair £34.99 at Decathlon Yes, camping chairs are bulky. But the alternative is sitting on the hard – and often damp – floor. These low-to-the-ground chairs pack up small enough to fit in your rucksack. Finisterre Clearwater changing robe £60 at Finisterre I take a towelling robe – not a full-blown Dryrobe, but a towel sewn into a cape, like this. It makes going to and from the showers so much easier as you don't have to fret about hanging your knickers or PJs on a tiny hook and probably soaking them by accident. (I was once so drunk when I showered at 6am that I got in still wearing my pants.) Laura Snapes Collapsible 5-litre drinking water tank £8.60 at B&Q£7.49 at Amazon A squishy water carrier like this can, if the weather is warm enough, double as a makeshift campsite shower. Some people rate these outdoor camp showers, but a water carrier is more portable, does the same job, and can also be used for water bottle top-ups. Don't forget swimwear. Moth negroni cocktail cans £26 for eight at Moth£29 for eight at Amazon Seasoned pros consider a four-way ratio – alcohol volume to weight to cost to lack of refrigeration – when selecting drinks to bring. Boxed red wine generally comes out top, then decanted spirits, though the hangovers can be fearsome. Tinned cocktails are often on offer at supermarkets around festival season, and most are nice when not cold – I rate Moth's negroni or Funkin's nitro-infused pina colada. Ben Beaumont-Thomas For more, check out our guide to the best canned cocktails, wines and seltzers for sunny days Inov8 men's Roclite Mid GTX £134.99 at SportsShoes£150 at Inov8 Aku Ultra Light women's Gore-Tex boots £159.95 at Absolute SnowFrom £164 at Aku Everyone we spoke to agreed: hiking boots are better than wellies – unless it's a proper mudbath. 'Walking boots will give you greater dexterity underfoot and fewer blisters. I haven't worn wellies at a festival in years. And they're a pain in the arse to carry,' Laura Snapes told us. If you're in need of a new pair, Paddy Maddison put the best men's hiking boots through their paces and dubbed this pair from Inov8 the best lightweight pair, making them ideal for festivals. And the Aku Ultra Light Original GTX impressed Sian Lewis when she tested them out for her review of the best women's boots for hiking. Browse women's trainers on VintedBrowse men's trainers on Vinted If you need new trainers before a festival, consider a secondhand pair from Depop or Vinted. There's no point buying new, as they definitely won't look fresh after being dragged through the dust and dirt. Then just shove them in the washing machine when you get home, and they usually come up pretty well. Croc Brooklyn buckle low wedge sandals £40 at Office£44 at La Redoute A waterproof pair of slides is a must. You can wear them in the showers, and you can also easily slip them on for trips to the loo in the middle of the night. Go for a pair you'll wear beyond the festival. Crocs are comfy and durable.

I have a great Kavu one at the moment. GM Round mini shoulder bag £14.90 at Uniqlo These bags from Uniqlo are a Tardis – from experience, you can fit a small water bottle, a power bank, sunglasses, my phone and a bottle of sun cream in one. Perfect for taking out all the essentials for the day. Ultra stretch active shorts £19.90 at Uniqlo Shorts in a synthetic material (not denim) are great for the sun, but also – unless it's really unseasonably cold – the rain, as you don't get waterlogged. As long as your top half is warm, you'll generally be fine. BBT Set of four packing cubes £12 at Argos Trying to find something in a big rucksack is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Make your life easier and use packing cubes – one for tops, one for bottoms and dresses, and one for underwear. Or a top tip from our packing hacks guide was to use fabric tote bags instead. For more, check out 13 travel packing hacks to save you space and money Compeed blister plasters £4.49 for five at Superdrug£4.49 for five at Amazon With all that walking and dancing, it's so easy to end up with blisters. Proper blister plasters are the only ones that stay put. Listerine Total Care travel mouthwash £1.60 for 95ml at Superdrug£1.60 for 95ml at Boots Electric toothbrush with UV travel case From £59.95 at Suri£95 at Boots When you're feeling grubby, freshening up your mouth is an instant fix. Laura Snapes recommends mouthwash to help you do just that. Bringing an electric toothbrush may feel OTT, but a manual brush can't match the clean feeling you get after brushing. Just make sure it's travel-friendly. This one from Suri was rated most sustainable in our test of the best toothbrushes, and comes in a travel case that charges on the go and cleans the brush with a UV light – perfect for a dirty festival environment. Eco Warrior all-over body bar £2.81 at Boots£2.81 at Amazon Eco Warrior soap tin £4.95 at Amazon I've been going to festivals with my three kids for years. There's only so clean you can get your hands with sanitiser, so carry a bar of soap in a travel box and everyone can wash their hands properly before eating. We also bring washcloths and a basin so we can clean up the kids back at the tent if they end up completely filthy. Suzanne Lemon, Guardian art director Bumble and Bumble Prêt-à-Powder £16 for 14g at Look Fantastic£16 for 14g at Sephora Dry shampoo can salvage greasy hair. Beauty expert Anita Bhagwandas rates this two-in-one dry shampoo and volumising powder for its 'multitasking, space-saving prowess'. For more space-saving toiletries, check out our travel minis guide Garnier vitamin C daily UV fluid SPF50+ £12.99 for 40ml at Boots£12.99 for 40ml at Superdrug You spend all day outside at a festival, so a great SPF is essential. Sali Hughes recommends this one because it 'delivers good glow without any pore-clogging grease'. For more, check out the best sunscreens for every need Garnier Micellar Water £3.49 for 100ml at Boots£3.49 for 100ml at Look Fantastic The Inkey List reusable cleansing pads £7.20 for three at Sephora£9 for three at Cult Beauty For easy, no-fuss makeup removal, you can't beat micellar water. After a tiring day, even the laziest can muster the strength to shove micellar water on a reusable cotton pad and have a quick cleanse before bed. Body Glide anti-chafe balm £8.99 at Runners Need£11.99 at SportsShoes This can be used as both an anti-chafe balm and an anti-blister balm. Put it on in the morning before heading out to prevent pain before it even starts. LED travel mirror £24.99 at Asos£24.99 at Debenhams Always take a proper mirror – you'll find your friends end up wanting to borrow it. It's much easier to do your makeup if you have one that you can balance on your lap. This one has a case that doubles as a stand and has a rechargeable LED light. SiS hydro electrolyte tablets £7.60 for 20 at Holland & Barrett£5.95 for 20 at Amazon It's hard to drink enough water at a festival, so I always take some rehydration fizzers. Laura Snapes recommends these from SiS as a great hangover cure. Designed for sports people, they work to restore your electrolytes and keep you hydrated. Don't forget a cup to drink them from. Pukka A5 Jotta notepads £10 for three at Argos Staedtler double-ended fibre-tip pens £15 at Argos Kids get bored a lot at festivals. We always have a notebook and pens on us. The uses are endless: the kids pass it around and write stories one line at a time, draw pictures of each other, or play noughts and crosses or dots and boxes. SL Tweedmill striped waterproof wool picnic rug £60 at John Lewis A good blanket for the kids to sit and lie on is essential. It must be waterproof so you can put it down over mud, and the kids have a nice dry place to rest. SL Hi-Gear travel toilet £13 at Millets£25 at Go Outdoors Kids always need a wee in the night or early morning, often with little notice. We line this with watertight bags and a few scoops of cat litter, and empty it into the campsite loos every day. SL Make sure you invest in things you will use again, and don't take anything you won't bring home with you. So much waste gets left behind at festivals, particularly tents and other camping gear. Ditch the glitter – even the biodegradable stuff isn't great for the planet, and it feels so 2010s now. Go for brightly coloured eyeshadows or eyeliners instead if you want to do some fun makeup. It's tempting to buy lots of new outfits, but when you're hungover and cold, you'll just end up wearing something comfy instead. If you do want to glam up, browse Vinted and Depop for some great secondhand festival wear. Change your phone's lockscreen to a notes page that says 'If found please call:' with a list of your friends who you're at the festival with's numbers – my friend dropped her phone in the crowd last year and someone called one of us straight away to say they'd found it. Check guidance on what the festival allows you to bring in beforehand – every festival is different. For example, Glastonbury doesn't let you take in glass, and some festivals limit how much alcohol you can take in. If you're planning to take food, make sure you opt for things that aren't easily squished. Many a festival goer has fallen victim to having to eat a completely flattened brioche. Are you a seasoned festival-goer? Whether you've navigated mud at Glastonbury, suffered kids' meltdowns at Latitude, or got sunburn at Primavera, we want to hear from you. What kit enhanced your experience? What do you wish you'd never bothered taking? Please email any hard-worn tips and tricks to us at thefilter@ We'd love to hear from you!

Shopper urges others to nab £8 Morrisons case perfect for Ryanair flights and a breeze to take through the airport

THERE'S nothing more annoying than getting to the airport for your flight, and being told your case is too big to take on board. So you might want to head to your local Morrisons, as there's an £8 case causing a stir among travellers. 4 4 4 4 As it's the perfect size to fit in the cabin - and even comes with wheels to make travelling through the airport a breeze. Georgia took to TikTok to encourage others to go to the supermarket in search of the LUGG Venus cabin bag. "RUN to Morrisons for the perfect sized cabin case to use as your free carry on bag," she wrote over the top of the clip. "Even perfect measurements for Ryanair! "And only £8." "Morrisons, thank you for these beauts," she captioned her video. The comments section was almost immediately filled with others saying they needed to get one of the cases. "Brilliant value at £8," one wrote. "I saw them the other day - they have orange ones in my area," another added. "Great price!" I spent £136 to see if the lost luggage trend was worth it - I thought I'd nab designer goodies but it was a total flop "£6 with Morrison more card," a third pointed out. To which Georgia replied: "Omgggg no way!!!!" "It's the right size for Ryanair and too small for EasyJet free baggage," someone else said. "I've purchased 2 and they're amazing quality!" another gushed. "They'll still make you snap the wheels off no doubt," someone else sighed. To which Georgia replied: "Deffo hope not since I tested it and it fits with its wheels on." Luggage Rules for Major Airlines British Airways Cabin Baggage: 1 cabin bag (max 56 x 45 x 25 cm) and 1 personal item (max 40 x 30 x 15 cm), total weight up to 23 kg. Checked Baggage: Economy allows 1 bag up to 23 kg. Premium Economy, Business, and First Class allow more. EasyJet Cabin Baggage: 1 small cabin bag (max 45 x 36 x 20 cm), no weight limit but must fit under the seat. Checked Baggage: Fees apply, up to 23 kg per bag. Passengers can pay for additional weight up to 32 kg. Ryanair Cabin Baggage: 1 small bag (max 40 x 20 x 25 cm). Priority boarding allows an additional larger cabin bag (max 55 x 40 x 20 cm, up to 10 kg). Checked Baggage: Fees apply, options for 10 kg or 20 kg bags. Virgin Atlantic Cabin Baggage: Economy and Premium allow 1 cabin bag (max 56 x 36 x 23 cm, up to 10 kg). Upper Class allows 2 bags. Checked Baggage: Economy Light has no checked baggage. Economy Classic, Delight, and Premium allow at least 1 bag up to 23 kg. Upper Class allows 2 bags. Emirates Cabin Baggage: Economy allows 1 bag (max 55 x 38 x 20 cm, up to 7 kg). Business and First Class allow 2 bags (total up to 12 kg). Checked Baggage: Economy Class varies by fare type (from 20 kg to 35 kg). Business and First Class allow up to 40 kg and 50 kg respectively. She also shared another video which showed her testing out the case in one of Ryanair's luggage sizers at the airport. And, as she'd predicted, it fit in there with ease. Others questioned how much she'd be able to fit in the case, with another person writing: "That's your knickers packed, where's everything else going?" Responding to that, Georgia showed how she'd managed to fit in two pair of trousers, one skirt, one pair of shorts, one pair of PJs, four tops or T-shirts, three pairs of socks, three pairs of underwear, 1 bag of hairbrushes etc and one clear bag for 100ml stuff.
