Budget Airline Approved: Hayayu Expandable Holdall Now Under £11 in Amazon Sale
The Hayayu expandable holdall has emerged as a practical solution for travellers navigating the stringent hand luggage policies of budget airlines like Ryanair and easyJet. Currently available at a significant discount in the Amazon spring sale, this versatile bag has been slashed to just £10.19, making it an affordable option for savvy flyers.
Meeting Strict Airline Requirements
Ryanair and easyJet are celebrated for their low-cost flight options, but their complimentary hand luggage allowances remain notoriously restrictive. Despite Ryanair's recent expansion of baggage dimensions, travellers still face tight limits, with even minor oversights potentially leading to costly fees at the airport. The Hayayu holdall addresses this concern by precisely matching the required specifications.
Key dimensions: The bag measures 40 x 28 x 20cm, aligning perfectly with Ryanair's updated luggage requirements. Additionally, it features an expandable compartment that allows it to extend to meet easyJet's slightly more lenient dimensions of 45 x 20 x 36cm. This dual compatibility ensures flexibility for passengers flying with either carrier.
Real-World Testing and Customer Feedback
To validate its practicality, Dublin-based reporter Fran tested the Hayayu holdall on a Ryanair flight. As a frequent traveller between Dublin and London, Fran has evaluated numerous bags and considers the Hayayu her top choice due to its versatility and spacious design.
"I measured it because it looked much larger than previous bags I've tested," Fran noted. "I was concerned it might be too big, but it met Ryanair's requirements perfectly." Despite its compact exterior, the holdall proved remarkably capacious, easily accommodating a 15.6-inch laptop—a challenge for many carry-on bags designed for smaller devices.
The expandable compartment was highlighted as a standout feature, with Fran remarking, "I imagine this will come in extremely handy on an upcoming holiday." Customer reviews on Amazon reflect this satisfaction, with the bag currently holding a rating of 4.6 out of five stars.
Sale Details and Colour Options
Originally retailing at £23.99, the Hayayu holdall has been reduced by more than half in select colours during the Amazon spring sale, also referred to as Amazon Spring Deal Days. The cream shade is now available for just £10.19, representing a 56% saving, while the grey option is priced at £11.98, a 50% discount.
Available colours include:
- Green
- Grey
- White
- Blue
- Black
- Pink
Fran opted for the pale pink version but suggested that black might be a more practical choice for maintaining a fresh appearance during travel. The cream and grey colours are currently the most affordable in the sale.
Alternative Options for Budget Travellers
For those seeking other budget-friendly alternatives, Dunelm's Constellation Cabin Holdall is now priced at £12 and features a sleek, minimalist design that complies with standard cabin requirements. Similarly, Primark's Quilted Under Seat Cabin Bag, a viral favourite among travellers, is also available for £12.
However, the Hayayu holdall stands out due to its expandable feature and proven compliance with both Ryanair and easyJet regulations, offering a reliable and cost-effective solution to avoid unexpected baggage fees. By ensuring your bag meets airline requirements before departure, you can start your getaway smoothly, without the stress of last-minute charges.
