Despite being a budget airline, Ryanair has introduced several challenging rules over the years, the latest of which is the prohibition of paper boarding passes. This new rule, effective from May 2025, will require passengers to use only digital passes on their phones for airport and flight access. This follows another controversial rule by the airline that reduced hand luggage allowances, causing passenger frustration. However, if you’re concerned about incurring extra costs before even stepping onto the plane, the Antler Stamford 2.0 Cabin Bag, priced at £200, fits all size requirements, saving you from additional charges at boarding.

The Antler Stamford 2.0 Cabin Bag perfectly fits the 40cm x 20cm x 25cm restrictions. Despite adhering to these strict regulations, the Stamford 2.0 Cabin Bag offers ample space inside for all your long weekend essentials. It features three internal zipped compartments, mesh lid pockets, a small side zip pocket for valuables, and compression packing straps to keep your belongings secure. The Stamford 2.0 Cabin Bag by Antler is also a joy to manoeuvre with its “whisper quiet” Japanese wheels that offer a smooth 360° rotation, making it a breeze to navigate through busy airports. Plus, it’s equipped with a TSA-approved combination lock for added security – so no more misplaced keys when you land.

Weighing in at just 2.77kg, this cabin bag is a cinch to lift into overhead compartments. Antler enthusiasts are singing the praises of the Stamford 2.0 Cabin Bag, with one customer sharing: “Purchased specifically for dimensions as cabin baggage on Ryanair.” Another satisfied traveller commented: “A well-made, light but robust cabin bag that fits both EasyJet and Ryanair size limits. Very neat and useful inside pockets and dividers and excellence four wheel manoeuvrability. Very good value for money.” However, some users have noted a downside, mentioning: “Disappointed in how easily scratches show up, used once for train travel and it is very scratched already. Otherwise functional as expected.” For those looking for other options that comply with Ryanair’s cabin criteria, the Aerolite 40L Lightweight Hard Shell Carry On Cabin Suitcase is currently a steal, reduced from £74.99 to £39.99. Bargain hunters can also snag the budget-friendly Ryanair Cabin Bag Lightweight Suitcase, now £16.99 down from its original price of £19.99 at Amazon, reports the Mirror.
