Kono Ryanair Under The Seat Holdall 40x20x25cm, 20L Cabin Hand Luggage Bag (Burgundy)

The essentials

If you’re trying to travel light and keep control of your hand luggage, an under-seat holdall is one of those boring-but-useful decisions that can save stress at the airport. The Kono Ryanair holdall is built around a compact 40x20x25cm footprint, with a 20L capacity, and it’s intended to fit Ryanair’s max cabin hand luggage approach (as described) for the newer allowance.

On paper, it’s also presented as accepted by “virtually all major airlines” including easyJet, British Airways, Etihad, Emirates, Delta, Lufthansa, Norwegian, Jet2, KLM, Qatar, Wizz Air and Virgin Atlantic. Realistically, airline rules can change and they’re applied a bit differently at busy gates—so it’s still worth double-checking your exact flight allowance before you rely on any one bag.

The design focus here is simple: store the essentials you want close to you, then slip it under the seat in front rather than wrestling with overhead bins.

Where it shines

What stands out is the practical “flight bag” layout. There’s a large main compartment for day-to-day items, plus an inner zip pocket positioned for something passport-sized. You also get two inner slot pockets for smaller bits like your phone and changes, and there’s a front quick-access pocket for travel documents or anything you’ll want to reach without unpacking the whole bag.

There are also four protective feet on the bottom. That’s a small detail, but it matters in the real world: it helps the bag sit more stably and can reduce wear when you place it on slightly grubby floors during transit.

A quick real-life example

Imagine you’re travelling for a short city break. On boarding, you want your headphones, a snack, your phone charger and your paperwork handy. With this kind of under-seat holdall, you can keep those items in the front pocket and inner sections, then slide the bag under the seat after settling in. No rummaging through a full suitcase just to find your essentials.

What matters most for daily use

This holdall is designed to be carried in a few different ways, depending on what else you’re travelling with. It includes two top handles with a velcro clasp for hand carrying. There’s also a length-adjustable shoulder strap if you prefer to wear it on your shoulder.

For days when you’re also using a larger cabin suitcase, the rear has a dedicated mounting sleeve so you can slide it over the extendable trolley handle. It’s a sensible touch, and it’s the sort of feature that makes airports feel a bit less chaotic.

One small limitation to keep in mind: because it’s intentionally compact, you won’t get the same flexibility as a bigger cabin bag. If your packing style leans heavy on bulky items, this will likely feel tight.

Materials and build impressions

The bag is made from oxford cloth and comes with gun-colour hardware. The weight is listed as 0.45kg, which suggests it’s meant to be light to carry on top of its capacity.

That said, “light” can mean “compact and practical” rather than “throw-everything-in and forget it”. If you’re planning on very frequent travel where bags get knocked around a lot, it’s worth treating it as a holdall for essentials rather than a main luggage replacement.

Key takeaways

Is it worth it?

It makes sense if you want a Ryanair-focused under-seat holdall that matches a 40x20x25cm allowance and keeps your important items within reach during the flight. The multi-compartment layout, the quick-access front pocket, and the trolley sleeve are the sort of everyday features that tend to get used, not just looked at.

It may not suit you if you routinely carry bulkier clothing or equipment that won’t fit comfortably in a compact 20L bag. Also, if your airline’s allowance is strict or your flight is known for tighter checks, you’ll want to confirm your exact cabin hand luggage dimensions before relying on any “accepted” claim.

Overall, it feels like a practical, mid-range type travel bag: not trying to be a luxury organiser, but aiming to be the functional flight companion for short trips where space and access matter.
