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:

WizzAir:

easyJet:

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.
Q: I heard they have Poundland in Poland too. Is that true?
A: Well, yes and no. Yes for the same vibe, no for the same name. It's not called Poundland in Poland, and it's not called Zlotyland (tee-hee) either. The one they have there is called Dealz, run by Pepco Group—the same Pepco Group that manages Poundland here in Blighty. Doesn’t their logo look somewhat familiar?
