This might be old news for some (or most?) Publii enthusiasts, but since I’ve just stumbled upon it and this blog is my own space, I’m going to note it here. It turns out that Publii’s nifty processing magic does a pretty solid job of fixing HTML errors (or at least some of them) behind the scenes. I did a bit of playing around by inserting some <div>, <a>, and <span> tags into the files of the Publii theme I’m using and then “forgetting” to close them with </div>, </a>, and </span>. Guess what? The resulting HTML generated by Publii had all the correct closing tags in all the right places.
Nice to know.
I’m the type of person who just can’t stand waiting for my suitcase at the luggage carousel. It’s another, often not-so-tiny, delay that stands between me and all those dopamine-packed experiences awaiting me at my destination.
It so happens that, for a cheapskate bargain hunter like me, Ryanair, WizzAir, and easyJet come as the top three bus-in-the-sky providers, and 2 cabin bags seem like the right choice every time. And, for the most part, it is.
You know what's irritating, though? Sizes and weights. It’s not that the allowances are too small—they're pretty much what you'd expect them to be. It's the slight differences in luggage size and weight limits that vary from one airline to another. So, if you think, "For this Ryanair flight, I’ll just use the same bags I used for my last flight with WizzAir," there's a chance you might want to think again.
To be fair, it's almost a given that you aren't going to be scrutinised for every extra centimetre or an extra 500 grams, and as long as your bags visually appear the right size, no one is likely to bother you.
But the limits are what they are, and they can be slightly different depending on who you’re flying with. Plus, exceeding those limits can potentially cost you money. So, here’s a handy note about the cabin luggage limits for Ryanair, WizzAir, and easyJet, according to their websites at the time of writing.
Ryanair:
- Small personal bag: No larger than 40x20x25 cm (approx. 15.7x7.9x9.8 inches). Must fit under the seat in front of you. No specific weight limit seems to be mentioned for that, at least when and where I looked. But I'm ready to stand corrected.
- Larger 10kg bag: 55x40x20 cm (approx. 21.7x15.7x7.9 inches) allowed if you purchase 'Priority & 2 Cabin Bags', stored in the overhead locker.

WizzAir:

- For those who bought Wizz Priority: Larger 10kg bag, 55x40x23 cm (approx. 21.7x15.7x9.1 inches), stored in the overhead locker.

As usual, remember to give the airline's official website a quick once-over for any updates or changes to their baggage rules. You never know when they might tweak things.
