The Cottage Smallholder

Mini rant- we are going on an easy jet flight and they have informed us that if we want to guarantee that our hand luggage will stay in the cabin on busy flights, then there is a maximum size we can take, which is smaller than the industry standard cabin bag. The size is 50 by 40 by 20cm  (that includes the wheel and the handle in the 50cm height) instead of the slightly larger std case.

Sods law has it that we don't have one that is small enough , but large enough capacity to carry anything in. So we have spent time going around all the shops that stock travel cases, and eventually found that Argos had one that was 51 cm tall and 40 by 20 cm and having spoken to somone who has recently flown easyjet, it appears that should be acceptable to them.

We also have the hold bags as well, but again weight limited- mine is packed- OH still to do hers, I get exasperated that she always leaves it to the last minute to pack. I also will be taking a rucksack- basically both case/rucksack, will contain our expensive items and any medicines we need to take.
