Morrisons is flogging Lugg Venus Cabin Bags for just £8 – and they meet the size requirements on Ryanair flights.

One savvy shopper snapped up the deal and shared their find on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK.

The suitcase comes with detachable wheels to help squeeze into Ryanair’s 40cm x 20cm x25cm limit.

“Look at these!” one wrote, tagging a friend.

“Wait, what? The wheels come off? I bought this last week and didn’t realise,” a second joked.

“Wow that’s a great price. I might nip there later,” a third added.

Although not everyone is sold, one person wrote: “Was going to get one the other day but they are absolutely tiny. You’d fit more in a holdall.”

They added that they struggled to remove the wheels, too.

Another added: “Best off for children, rather than carry on. I bought one last week, I’m 5’3 and the handle isn’t long enough to pull along.”

All Ryanair passengers can bring a small personal bag on board but this must fit under the seat in front of you.

All over-sized cabin bags will be refused at the boarding gate, or where available put in the hold for a fee.

Anyone wanting to bring another bag, you’ll need to upgrade and pay extra for priority and two cabin bags or checked baggage.

Amazon is also selling a Ryanair-approved holdall for just £13.29.

The Narwey carry on comes in a range of colours, including black, grey, purple, black and pink and comes with a padded shoulder strap for comfort.

For those after check in luggage, Dunelm is selling a tough shell, metallic large suitcase for £45.

And for short breaks or business trips, Sports Direct is selling a Slazenger lightweight cabin case for £14.99.

The case has extendable sizing, plenty of pockets and even comes with a padlock.

It’s one of the cheapest branded cabin bags we’ve seen, down by a whopping £30.

However it will have to be checked in as hold luggage for RyanAir, Jet2 and EasyJet.
