TRAVELLERS have recommended a hand luggage bag that they insist will cut out the need to pay for check-in suitcases when flying.
Luggage costs can really ramp up, especially when travelling with budget airlines, who make their money by charging passengers for extras.

However, tactically choosing the right bag can make sure holidaymakers only pay for their seat, leaving them with more cash for their trip.
One bag that could help them do just that is the CUQOO 2023 carry on bag, which is available on Amazon for less than £11.
Travel Tiktoker Shona Karolina (@shona.karolina) swears by the item and described it as a “perfect” fit for budget airlines and said she was able to take everything she needed in it for a week’s holiday.
In a video, she said: “There’s nothing worse than finding an amazing deal on flights and then realising you have to fork out hundreds of pounds on luggage just to bring your clothes with you.
“Well say no more to that.
“With this travel bag, you should be able to fit at least a week’s worth of clothes and accessories inside.
“And it will fit perfectly under your airline seat,so it won’t cost you an extra penny to bring.”
Other travellers responded saying they either had the same experience with the bag, or wanted to get one for their next trip.
One said: “These bags have been an absolute saviour.
“We’ve flown many airlines who accept them. Deffo recommend.”
Another said: “Need one of these.”
A third added: “Wow didn’t realise you could fit so much in those bags!”
The cabin bag is 40x20x25cm, so fits most budget airline’s luggage allowances, including Ryanair.
It has multiple compartments for access such to any in-flight items like books, headphones, snacks and electronic devices.
It also comes with a shoulder strap to make it easier to carry for those who don’t want to hold it during their trip.
One Amazon reviewer said: “Good quality bag that meets Ryanair’s requirements for personal baggage allowance.”
Another said: “Surprisingly big for such a small bag, didn’t get asked to check at the airport but fitted under the seat perfectly. Good quality as well.”
Meanwhile, this woman hid a second hand luggage bag underneath her coat to get around baggage rules.
And this woman got fined after she was caught trying to smuggle extra luggage on board.
