A Primark backpack priced at £25 has gone viral on TikTok after being hailed as 'Ryanair-approved' for its ability to fit within budget airline carry-on size restrictions. The bag, a trolley travel backpack available in khaki, cream and black, measures 39cm x 30cm x 17cm, which falls within Ryanair's 40cm x 30cm x 20cm limit, and also meets the requirements for EasyJet and Jet2.
TikTok user @Mia_lavender0 posted a video showcasing the bag, claiming it 'fits perfectly in the measuring stand' at airports, helping passengers avoid extra baggage fees. The rucksack-style carrier features an extendable handle and wheels, multiple storage compartments, and padded shoulder straps. Primark describes it as 'combining style with functionality' and 'ideal for weekend getaways or as a carry-on'.
The post quickly attracted comments from eager travellers, with one user saying 'I need to go to Primark! I'm going to buy this!' and another calling it 'nice and comfortable'. However, some shoppers noted drawbacks: 'It's fab for storage, but hurts like hell as a backpack. The wheels stick in your back! Great for wheeling though!'
Ryanair customers are reminded to check their bag's dimensions before flying, as oversized luggage can incur fees at check-in. The airline's strict policy means even slight deviations can lead to additional charges. Travellers flying with multiple airlines should verify the bag fits all requirements, or opt for a smaller option to avoid unexpected costs.
