That looks like a good deal, and it looks like there's plenty of space there.

hmmm...... lets do the maths here. 55cmx40cmx20cm = 44000 cubic cm. Which, as I remember from school, is 44 litres. Any bag with those measurements will be 44 litres. Except that's where it goes wrong, because the airline rule says the bag has to fit inside a box with those measurements so the bag itself will take up some of the 44 litres. And it's got rounded corners which reduce capacity. So either it's too big or it doesn't have that capacity.

Because it's mainly only thin polyester, if they are the external measurements you can probably get close to 44 litres inside but if it's stuffed full the dangly bits on the outside will push over the limits and stop the bag going into the frame at checkin in, even if the bag holds it's shape and doesn't go lumpy. The rule says that all the bag including external parts - including handle and buckles - has to go in to the frame. So try and fill this up to 44 litres and you could be in trouble - especially with Ryanair since those measurements are right on their limit, others have a long side length of 57cm which would at least leave space for the handle.

The price seems to be a genuine discount, other places are selling it for £25-27 but don't try stuffing it to the limit!

If anybody is still considering despite some peoples ctitiscm if you use code Murray16 the price drops to only £9.96

I can't see the picture Graham, unless I enter my e-mail address which I don't want to do

Just looked at it. Clicked on the "already subscribed" and it let me in. I am not/have not subscribed by the way.

Thanks for that I've just ordered one Even better there was 10% cashback with quidco. I know what hubby'll be taking on the plane to Zante in a few weeks. That's a great site with brilliant offers.

I'll be getting one tomorrow too. Thanks for the Quidco tip Shirley

and you can pay through paypal so no fussing about looking for your credit card. It came to £11.95 including the delivery but that's without the cashback.

Graham - I'm getting this message

Coupon code "Murray 16" is not valid. Or does not apply to this product because it is already heavily discounted.

Helen don't put a gap between Murray and 16

Thank you - it worked fine £11.95 without Quidco cashback

I will state that I don't work for them however I did purchase some secure padlocks from them which arrived today and it is worth checking this out especially if travelling to the US.

I ordered a Tripneeds Trackerlock http://www.dealtastic.co.uk/previous-deals and it arrived within a week.

Again at a good price £13.97 for 2 as compared to Amazon £12.52 for one, an even better deal now £9.97 if you use Murray16 as your discount code.

That's three of us sisters with the same bag

it wasn't critiscm, it was a warning. If these bags have the capacity claimed and you stuff them full there is a big risk of being pulled up at check-in, especially with Ryanair. The British attitude is that easy to read advertising trumps contract small print, then when things go wrong it's someone else's fault. It seems a very good price, just don't get carried away when packing.

I used this bag for the first time over the weekend on a trip to London. It was brilliant. Its size is very deceptive and it holds far more than I thought. Lots of different sized compartments in the front as well as loads of room in the main compartment. The only problem was that I wasn't used to carrying weiight on my back so when we had a fair walk from the hotel to the underground it got a bit heavy. Lucky I had sis to the rescue so I was able to load it on top of her pull along case

I haven't tried it out as aircraft hand luggage yet but I'll be giving it to hubby to try out when we go to Greece in a few weeks. Thanks to Graham for the recommendation
