Couple reveal how they avoid paying for luggage on flights & people love it

A COUPLE has revealed the way they avoid paying for bags on budget flights – and instead only use hand luggage.

Baggage fees can really ramp up the costs of a holiday, leading people to try drastic measures to get around them.

However, some bags offer people more space than others, while still fitting the airline’s hand luggage dimensions.

One of which is the Narwey duffle bag, which some passengers have described as a “life-saver”.

It’s the bag used by Lily Thompstone (@lilythompstone) and her partner, on a recent trip to Prague.

The pair flew to the Czech capital for three nights, only taking one of the £10 bags each, and had more than enough room for everything they needed.

The couple travelled with Ryanair, who have some of the strictest hand luggage rules, but the bag was more than suitable for their holiday.

In a video on Tiktok, Lily showed how the bags fit easily into the size checker at the airport.

She captioned the video: “3 nights in Prague and I can’t believe these bags work!”

The video has been seen more than 3.8million times, with other people sharing their positive experiences with the bags.

One wrote: “Mate I have one, I ordered it as I booked a last minute one. It fits EVERYTHING in there! It’s now my gym bag.”

A second said: “I’ve got this exact one, bought it last year and it was a lifesaver.”

A third added: “I used this mid-December for a 3-night trip!

“Managed 3 day outfits, 4-night outfits, 3 bikinis, 2 pairs of sandals plus chargers etc – winning!”

The bag is waterproof, meaning it will keep all your items dry and also has several internal pockets, to keep everything well organised.

The sturdy straps also promise to handle more than 45lbs (20kg), meaning it can comfortably carry even the heaviest of hand luggage.

It also comes with a sleeve on the back, so it can slide over the handle of any wheelie suitcase, for extra versatility.

When not being used, the bag folds down into a small zip up pouch, making it easy to store as well.

The bag is available for £9.99 on Amazon, where it has a rating of 4.5/5 from more than 3,300 reviews.

Of those who reviewed it, 83 per cent of customers gave it either four or five stars.

Here is another bag that people praise for being perfect to take into the plane cabin.
