Popular travel bag that's allowed on Ryanair flights for free – despite being bigger than strict cabin bag size rules
THIS is the popular travel bag that's allowed on Ryanair flights for free. This is despite the fact that the size is bigger than strict cabin bag size rules. 6 6 6 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. Moment Brit woman is dragged off Ryanair flight & thrown to floor after 'assaulting passengers and making bomb threat' 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. 6

These points can then be turned into vouchers for money off food at the supermarket, or discounts at other places like restaurants and days out. Each time you spend £1 in-store and online, you get one point when you scan your Clubcard. Drivers using the loyalty card get one point for every two litres spent on fuel. One point equals 1p, so 150 points gets you a £1.50 money-off voucher, for example. You can double their worth when you swap them for discounts with "reward partners". For example, £12 worth of vouchers can be swapped for a £24 three-month subscription to Disney+. Or you can swap 50p worth of points for £1 to spend at Hungry Horse pubs. Where you can spend them changes regularly, and you can check on the Tesco website what's available now. Tesco shoppers can also get Clubcard prices when they have the loyalty card. The discounted items change regularly and without a Clubcard you'll pay a higher price. These Clubcard prices are usually labelled on shelves, along with the non-member price. But it's worth noting that just because it's discounted doesn't necessarily make it the cheapest around, and you should compare prices to find the best deal. You can sign up to get a Tesco Clubcard in store or online via the Tesco website.

Baggage rules Here's the key information you need to know about regarding some of the key airlines operating in the UK. Ryanair All Ryanair passengers can bring a small personal bag on board but this must fit under the seat in front of you. It must be no bigger than 40cm x 20cm x 25cm. All over-sized cabin bags will be refused at the boarding gate, or where available put in the hold for a fee.

It can be no larger than 45cm x 36cm x 20cm, this includes any handles or wheels, and it needs to be able to fit under the seat in front of you.

Jet2 Passengers can also bring on board one piece of hand luggage when flying with Jet2, free of charge. It must not weigh more than 10kg and can't be any bigger than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm, including any wheels and handles.

Verdict Sports Direct comes out on top for the cheapest branded cabin case at just £14.99, while its £64 three-piece set is ideal for families or longer trips. If you're just after a single case, Dunelm offer solid one-off buys, while Matalan and Home Bargains are perfect if you want to pick and mix sizes. However, if you're after something that's compatible for Easy Jet, Jet2 and RyanAir, you'll want to head on over to Amazon. For overall value, Debenhams' £59.25 three-piece set is hard to beat – especially for shoppers after a full matching bundle without breaking the bank. Just remember – prices are correct at the time of writing but can change quickly, so it's worth snapping up a deal before it wheels away. How to compare prices While all these deals are solid, it's important to remember that not every 'sale' price is actually a bargain. That's where price comparison tools can come in handy. Websites like Google Shopping let you type in a product name or model number to instantly compare prices across dozens of retailers. How to bag a bargain SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain… Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with. Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks. Sales are when you can pick up a real steal. Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on. Sign up to mailing lists and you'll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too. When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use and are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer. Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping. Bargain hunters can also use B&M's scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out. And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you'll get some of your money back or a discount on the item. PriceSpy is great if you want to look at a product's price history – it tracks prices from over 3,000 stores including Amazon, Argos and the major supermarkets. Idealo works in a similar way and ranks products from the cheapest to the most expensive, while CamelCamelCamel focuses on Amazon deals specifically, showing you how prices have changed over time. Shopping around and doing a quick search can save you serious money and stop you getting caught out by sneaky markups. Just don't forget to factor in delivery fees and check stock before heading to stores to avoid disappointment.

Brit family 'almost died' when holiday hotel went up in flames
Bethany Wallace, 36, from Essex, has described the hotel she was staying going up in flames in Turkey. She claims she couldn't get through to EasyJet during the nightmare A Brit mum says she thought her family was going to die after their four-star hotel went up in flames - with the smoke being so strong that they were "choking on it". Bethany Wallace, from Grays, Essex, jetted off to Marmaris in Turkey for a two-week EasyJet holiday alongside her husband and three children on April 1. The family were only three days into their vacation when they awoke to a "chemical smell" at around 5am. The 36-year-old recalled frantically waking up her family as smoke quickly filled their rooms. The mum-of-three claims she heard no fire alarm and says she couldn't find any staff to tell them where to go. Bethany, who is a baker and business owner, managed to make it out safely, but said her family were left suffering from effects linked to the terrifying blaze. She claims her two children suffered from eye infections and her husband endured lung issues from smoke inhalation. Speaking about the ordeal, she said: "I woke up to the smell of smoke and when I opened my eyes the room was full of smoke, it was coming through the grids in the room and under the door. There was no fire alarm, no noise, it was all really quiet, nothing to alarm anyone. I woke my husband up and said we need to get out now. "I grabbed my six-year-old who was sleeping next to us, we went to my eldest son's room which was next door to ours. It's difficult to get your bearings when it's so full of smoke. We came across the first staircase we'd normally use and that was just too full of smoke, you couldn't see the bottom of it. "At this point we were banging on doors, there were other people coming out, there was no staff at all, it was chaos. We found a staircase we could go down and got out of the building. It was really scary. The look on my kids' faces when we were trying to escape the building will never leave my memory. We could have died. "It was freezing. We were just left, we waited outside and we could see the situation was getting worse, there were people on the balconies screaming for help. The smoke had a strange smell, it was a really chemical smell like burning plastic and we were all choking on it. There were people jumping between balconies because the smoke was so bad in their rooms." The mum said she tried to contact EasyJet to find information about what to do but did not manage to get through to them. She added: "Someone came by and he said we need to go to the sister hotel, the next hotel along the road. It was like Chinese whispers, the guests were passing the message because no one was telling us anything. We all started walking to the sister hotel which was a mile and a half further on. That was hell because we were all barefoot, carrying the children, and the roads were awful. "The next day we were told the fire started in the boiling room and that there were no fatalities. We were allowed to go back to the hotel to get our stuff. We went into the building and the state of it was horrific. We managed to get out passports, but most of the stuff wasn't worth taking. You could tell the flames hadn't reached the room but the smoke had been terrible." The mum continued: "All five of us were on medication for the remainder of our time there. My husband was told he had [lung issues from smoke inhalation], the two children had an eye infection, I had severe headaches that wouldn't go away and my blood pressure was high. "They originally offered us £1,000 in vouchers which I refused to accept so they came back with £1,600 in vouchers and I also refused. We got nothing. The holiday cost around £4,000 in total." EasyJet said they had conducted an independent assessment and until hearing the outcome of a formal investigation by the relevant authorities, they will not be offering this property to their holidaymakers. An EasyJet spokesperson said: "We're really sorry to hear that Ms Wallace and her family were impacted by the fire at the hotel and we understand how distressing this must have been. "Our team in destination, and our 24/7 On-Holiday Support team were in touch with Ms Wallace at the time to provide alternative hotel accommodation, medical care, and any further help needed. "We're still in contact with Ms Wallace to offer our support, including providing an insurance letter to help with reimbursement of personal items lost and additional expenses, offering trauma support counselling, and a full refund of her holiday cost. The safety and wellbeing of our customers is our highest priority."
