As summer approaches, many Brits might be looking to go abroad for the perfect holiday in the months ahead.
But during a cost of living crisis, many sun-seekers might be looking to go away for as cheap as possible.
Ryanair might be a low-cost airline, but it may have somewhat of a reputation of having strict rules when it comes to baggage, otherwise customers risk having to pay extra charges.
But you might be able to get around the extra charges with your kids by using the Trunki case.
According to the brand's website, the standard sized bag is allowed across all major airlines.
The travel accessory can be bought on-board airlines and can be placed under the seat in front of you.
In terms of size, the standard children's case measures at 46cm x 20.5cm x 31 cm.
According to the airline's website, passengers on Ryanair are only allowed to bring one free small personal bag onboard.
The item cannot exceed 40cm x 20cm x 25cm and it must be able to fit under the seat in front.
However, larger size Trunki suitcases will not be acceptable for the rules that are in place and they may have to go in the hold.

EasyJet and Tui also allow the bag on their flights, despite the respective airlines advertising that the case is too big according to the Trunki website.
On their platform, the only major airlines which do not allow the bag to be used as carry on luggage are Icelandair and Transportes Aéreos Portuguese.
Other popular low-cost operators such as Vueling Airlines, Wizz Air, Thomas Cook may require additional fees.
For those wishing to take carry-on luggage on Ryanair, a special ticket must be purchased by customers.
Advice for flying with Ryanair All Ryanair passengers can bring a small personal bag on board but this must fit under the seat in front of you, but it must be no bigger than 40cm x 20cm x 25cm
Any over-sized cabin bags will be refused at the boarding gate and put in the hold for a fee
Ryanair also charges passengers up to £55 check-in at the airport
Anyone who loses their card at the airport will have to pay a £20 reissue fee
Book to sit in the front five rows if you want to head off the plane first
Extra legroom seats can be found in rows 1 A, B, C or 2 D, E, F as well as row 16 and 17 near the emergency exit
The worst seat on Ryanair's Boeing 737-800 aircraft is also 11A because of its lack of window.
A Priority pass and two cabin bags ticket is required for extra on-board baggage allowance.
Then passengers would be allowed a 55cm x 40cm x 20cm bag as well as the smaller personal item.

Top European holiday destination to let British travellers skip lengthy passport queues this summer
HOLIDAYMAKERS heading to Portugal will face shorter airport queues THIS WEEK with Brits able to use e-gates. The sunshine destination will become the first country to allow UK passport holders to use the system since Sir Keir Starmer struck a deal with Brussels. 1 Travellers have had to queue to have their passports stamped when arriving for their break since the UK left the European Union - often leading to long queues. Around 2.5 million people head to Portugal each year with more with 300,000 heading to the Algarve. Around 50,000 Brits live in the country. It has now been confirmed that holidaymakers heading to Faro airport will be able to use the hi-tech system. Europe relations Minister Nick Thomas-Symonds said: "The historic deal that we signed with the EU on May 19 is in our national interests - good for bills, borders and jobs. "It slashes red tape and bureaucracy, boosts British exporters and makes life easier for holidaymakers. "Indeed, I'm delighted to confirm this morning that Faro Airport in Portugal will start the rollout of e-gate access to UK arrivals this week." Only last month, EU relations minister Thomas-Symonds strongly hinted that Brits will face less time waiting at border control. He said: 'I would love to see you being able to go through the border more quickly in that way. 'That's certainly something we've been pushing with the EU and I think that will be something that will be very helpful to British people.' The Prime Minister revealed details of Brits using e-gates during the first summit between Britain and the European Union. But the use of e-gates had to be given the green light by individual countries. The PM came under fire by explicitly saying that ''Brits travelling to Europe will now be able to use e-gates'.

Tourists urged to avoid popular bar which 'charges customers 100 Euro for a beer'
Tourists have urged fellow holidaymakers to avoid a notorious bar in Greece that is 'charging €100' for a beer. DK Oyster claims it 'boasts an exceptional atmosphere with fantastic service, beautiful seaside view', however, its reviews say otherwise. But Brits have taken to Tripadvisor to warn against the business, which is located on the idyllic island of Mykonos. Just one week ago, a British man revealed how he was charged an eye-watering €100 (£84) for a lager, before bar staff attempted to haggle at the price. Detailing his experience, Nathan said: 'Asked for a seat in the sun and a drinks menu, he offered us 1 litre of lager for €100! 'Once we said no thanks he proceeded to drop the price but we didn't stick around, if you find yourself here, do yourself a favour and walk on to another bar as they don't try to rip you off and the atmosphere is much better. We ended up paying €7 [£6] each for a lager.' Another unhappy customer, named Sue, told how she and her group of friends were enticed in with the offer of free sunbeds, before ordering drinks without a menu. She explained: 'When we asked for the total, we were presented with a bill just under €400 [£337] for a handful of drinks. 'We were shocked to discover we were charged for more drinks than we had actually ordered, including the so-called 'free' one. Even soft drinks like Coca-Cola, we were told, were also €35 [£29] each.' TripAdvisor has even slapped a warning on the bar's official page, encouraging potential customers to carry out their own research first before visiting. It reads: 'Tripadvisor has been made aware of recent media reports or events concerning this property which may not be reflected in reviews found on this listing. 'Accordingly, you may wish to perform additional research for information about this property when making your travel plans.' A menu posted online shows the extreme pricing for beverages, with a glass of white wine Chardonnay costing €130 (£109). An Aperol will set you back €58 (£49), a Jack Daniel's €49 (£41), while a Pimm's is €58 (£49) by the glass. A receipt posted by one holidaymaker showed how they were charged a staggering €136 (£114) for two glasses of prosecco. The fresh complaints come after MailOnline visited the Mykonos restaurant last year and was hit with a fee of over €100 for a mouthful of crab, plus service. TripAdvisor has slapped a warning on the bar's official page, encouraging potential customers to carry out their own research first before visiting In response, however, the restaurant's owner Dimitrios Kalamaras insisted that his establishment had been 'unfairly traduced by a freeloader who wanted to eat for gratis and position herself as an influencer'. To determine which of these accounts was closer to the truth, MailOnline went undercover at the restaurant, posing as innocent holidaymakers who had wandered into the restaurant after spotting it by chance. Three years ago, following damaging publicity in the US media when two American tourists were charged €600 for two drinks and a portion of crab legs, the Greek government came down hard on the restaurant. The minister of tourism, Vassillis Kikilias instructed the Cyclades Regional Tourism Agency to investigate and they duly found several tax violations in the company's books, leading to a guilty plea and a fine of €31,000.

Trade war: What a weakening dollar means for Trump
The weakening of the US dollar has arguably been the story of the year for financial markets. The mighty greenback is the world's reserve currency by virtue of the fact that so many nations and investors hold it. But it has taken a mighty tumble under the Donald Trump 2.0 presidency - to the point this week that the dollar index, which measures it against six other major currencies, is down 9% this year and on course for its worst annual performance since 2017. It is no coincidence that that decline also took place under a Trump-controlled White House. The reasons for it are similar but against a far weaker domestic and global economic backdrop than seen last time round. Why is the dollar falling? It all forms part of the wider investor turmoil over the president's trade war, its implications for the US economy and, crucially, the impact of his agenda on the public finances. The main cause for concern recently had been the potential for recession in the world's largest economy due to trade war import duties - tariffs - stoking inflation. The fallout has damaged the potential for interest rate cuts by the US central bank - a scenario that would normally be supportive of a currency. But attention has increasingly turned towards the US budget deficit and total debt pile, given Mr Trump's controversial tax cut and spending hike plans. Independent figures suggest they will add about $2.4trn to the $36.2trn total for US government debt - a debt pile that has become more expensive to service. 1:00 It's fair to say weaker stock markets, bond sell-offs and a weaker dollar are not the reactions the president wants to see at the start of his second term. For all the headline-seeking slogans of "America First" and "Make America Great Again", the on-off trade war designed to restore US manufacturing might and jobs is taking a toll. It explains the tax cut push but the president cannot escape the fact that federal, corporate and personal finances - such as investments and pension values - have taken a hit. Despite that, YouGov poll data this week showed that for the first time in two months, less than half of US adult citizens strongly or somewhat disapproved of how he was handling the job. What does it all mean for Americans? If you strip out the short-term hits to pensions and asset values, a weaker dollar will offset some of additional tariff-related costs paid by importers to the US, as a dollar will go further when buying goods in a currency that has strengthened. In theory, it will help limit the impact of any rising costs paid by consumers once goods have made their way down the supply chain. Conversely, Americans heading abroad will find their buck doesn't get them as much. How about for us Brits? 5:08 We have not been immune from the market turmoil - with pension and fund holdings (especially those containing US interests) taking a knock. The weaker dollar is bad news for UK-based firms booking dollar earnings back home as they won't go as far when recorded in pounds. But a weaker dollar means a pound will go further if you're travelling to the US. Sterling is more than 8% up versus the dollar in the year to date and the spot rate currently stands at $1.3566 - around levels last seen in 2022. Travel money sites suggested that UK tourists heading stateside would get a conversion around the $1.3230 level. What about the outlook? 9:28 Much will depend on how the Trump trade war plays out in the months ahead. These values say more about the dollar weakness than pound strength because the UK has many similar challenges to the US - sticky inflation, worries about the sustainability of government debt and weak growth. The currency shift MAY help to further reduce UK inflationary pressure. It is hoped, for example, that the weakening dollar will continue to help drive down oil costs. Brent crude - priced in dollars, crucially, - struck a four-year low in April and a barrel is currently $1 above that level at $64.
