A travel writer has shared her positive experience with a budget-friendly cabin suitcase that is approved by major airlines including easyJet and Ryanair. The FLYMAX cabin suitcase, priced at £24.99, is designed to meet the hand luggage size restrictions of these carriers.
The case measures 55x30x20cm, providing a few centimetres of wiggle room for easyJet's 56x45x25cm limit and fitting Ryanair's paid-for cabin bag allowance of 55x40x20cm. Its hard plastic shell helps prevent overpacking, a common issue with soft cases that can lead to gate fees.
Inside, the bag features a zipped compartment, a strap for separating clean and dirty clothes, and a small mesh pocket for jewellery. The four wheels allow for smooth gliding on airport floors, though it struggled slightly on carpet.
Reviews are mixed: some buyers praise its value and colour, while others report issues with durability, such as a broken zip compartment or dents after first use. The writer notes that brands like Samsonite offer alternatives, but advises checking dimensions before flying.
