This happens at Condor gates on a regular basis: a family frantically stuffing clothes from their suitcase into their jackets because it is 800 grams overweight. Gate fee: 75 euros. They could have solved the problem for 9.99 euros online. A week earlier.

€69.99. That's what Ryanair charges at the gate if your suitcase is even one centimeter too big. Picture the scene: Dublin, six in the morning, a traveler arguing with ground staff at the gate. His suitcase? 55x40x23cm. Three centimeters too much. He has to pay.

The number in almost every Ryanair guide is wrong. 40 x 20 x 25 cm was the free personal bag. Until 4 September 2025. Since then it's 40 x 30 x 20 cm.

An American Tourister suitcase for 70 euros. Next to it, a Samsonite for 180 euros. They look similar. They come from the same company. So the cheaper one must be the better deal, right?

You booked a cheap SunExpress flight and then read the baggage rules. 40x30x20 cm? 4 kg? That sounds tiny. And honestly, it is.

Planning a Ryanair flight and wondering if the 100ml rule still applies? Short answer: Depends where you're flying from. The rules for Ryanair liquids hand luggage are complete chaos in 2026. Dublin allows 2 liters, Munich insists on 100ml, and London only lifted restrictions last week.

You booked a Lufthansa Business Class ticket. You show up at check-in. Then the shock: €200 in baggage fees.

Picture this: You're standing at the gate in Hamburg, your carry-on fits perfectly in the sizing frame, but the Eurowings agent still wants 50 euros. Why? Because you're on a BASIC fare and you've been assigned to boarding group 2.

You booked a package holiday, your flight is with Condor, and now you're facing the baggage question. What actually applies for Condor baggage on package tours?

I was standing at the baggage carousel last week watching a suitcase crash onto the floor from about six feet up. The owner next to me went pale. The suitcase? A cheap ABS model that cost 35 euros. The wheels were destroyed.

96 euros extra for a suitcase that was "too big". On a return flight between London and Budapest. More than the ticket itself cost.

Almost every trolley clears 55 cm in height. The 40 cm width too. But 23 cm of depth including wheels and handles rules out a large share of the cases sold on Amazon as "cabin approved". Anything designed for Ryanair or easyJet is built to 25 cm.
