We tried the viral Dealz bag hack for travelling and were surprised at the results

Dealz TikTok

With the travel restrictions eased, many people are preparing to head off on their first summer holidays after more than two years.

However, as the cost of living crisis continues, they may be looking to cut a few quid in whatever way they can.

One way that can be done is not to pay extra for baggage.

An Irishwoman shared an item on TikTok that she had found in Dealz that could help keep Ryanair flights as cheap as possible by avoiding the airline's hand luggage fees.

The budget airline's passengers can only take one piece of carry-on luggage onto the plane free of charge, and it must fit under the seat in front of them.

TikTok user @sam_an_tha_g was stunned to find a cheap bag that is the “exact size” allowed to be brought on board.

We decided to take on this challenge and see how much will fit into this €6 bag that we found in the Cork city Dealz on Grand Parade.

Now, this may work for some people but not for everyone. Here's what we managed to fit in:

  • A jumper
  • A dress
  • A set of jammies
  • A pair of shoes
  • toiletry bag (including makeup, toothbrush, essentials...)
  • a book
  • a handbag
  • trousers
  • 2 t-shirts
  • Perfume
  • Moisturiser
