We're flying with Ryanair later in the year and I'm going to show my lack of worldliness when I say I had know idea about their new criteria whereby by your carry-on bag now goes in the hold and you get to keep only a small (35x20x20cm) bag with you for your flight.

These dimensions basically describe a handbag.

What is the male equivalent?

Ideally it'd be something basic I can pull out of the regular cabin bag at the gate and then stuff back at the other end.

Any ideas ?
 
We discovered their updated T's and C's the other day an can't say we were that happy.

Me and gf have ended up trying to fit everything in a small sports bag and paid the £14 to take a larger bag inside the cabin.
 
cancel the flight and fly with someone else?

that size bag is tiny and pointless, guess there's an upgrade option where you pay more to take your normal bag on instead?!
 
Gotta love the name Carry-On Bag doesn't mean you can actually carry it on anymore!
I believe you can pay a supplement to guarantee you can carry it on, and that those with priority boarding get it as part of their extra fee-bump as well.
 
It's great cuts down on all the morons looking for overhead space on a no doubt full flight.

Get a message bag. No one's going to call you up on it unless on wheels.

Screw Ryan air btw.
 
Another reason why I flat out refuse to fly Ryanair, unless they're the only airline who fly to a certain destination which I have to travel to! Would rather pay a bit extra to avoid all the inconvenience!

This. Take a message bag or small backpack on board, and get your full size "cabin" bag put in the hold. They've made changes so that now you need to put your cabin bag in the hold. But as a above it cuts down on people scrambling for the overhead bins.

Absolute worst airline around. I used them a couple of times years ago and have refused to ever since.
 
I'd rather pay a bit extra and fly with someone else as I can't stand the CEO and would love to punch him with my keyboard

Not much help really, i just can't stand the airline and avoid like the plague
 
Agree about avoiding Ryanair. Outside my control this time around unfortunately. I utterly loathe their business model but its won them a monopoly on some routes.

There's a few good options on Amazon tailored towards tablets and the like ...

... But I resent spending much on something to "solve" and this artificial problem.

I'll probably get something like this £6 from Decathlon....

I assume you can't take normal size laptops any more, then?

The male equivalent is a Man-Bag... which is a handbag, basically. Just big enough for all your manscaping kit and some guyliner!! :p

However, the manly equivalent is the MOLLE patrol pack:

We got issued something like these in field trials, once. Slightly bigger and designed to go with you when you leave your bergan behind for a few hours. They never took off, but they were pretty cool at the time. I saw the civvy versions and got one for all my EDC junk, because it's small enough to work both in the car and on the bike.
 
Bit of common sense needed here. I fly Ryanair as much as possible as they are fantastically cheap, on time, and go to some interesting places.

I travel with a 70 litre pack (Osprey Aether 70) (though I remove the metal supports so it folds down a bit more) and have it probably half full. This is over the sizes stated. I've never been asked to put my bag in the hold. When you are queuing to board, they will ask some people to put their bag in the hold (normally hard/medium shelled bags/cases) and if they don't you get to keep it. They aren't taking every single larger bag off.

I think it's a good thing actually, means that there's more room in the cabin, you get on and off quicker and people aren't up and down to get stuff from their case. Just keep what you need in your pockets (wallet/passport/keys/phone) and carry your book/tablet?

They aren't charging you to put your bag into the hold or anything, there's a lot of fuss about nothing in this thread!
 
I don't think you're understanding Ahleckz - They have very recently changed their policy.

Now that 70L bag you like to use will definitely go in the hold, all the traditional cabin bags do.
 
I wear a standard 30l backpack and have never once had an issue.

Flown with them about a dozen times since they changed the policy.
