As the school holidays approach and the annual Great British getaway looms, data shows 61 per cent of people are planning to go abroad and 78 percent are staying closer to home this year, despite overall costs increasing. The price of a two week family holiday for four now costs on average an eye-watering £4700 and that’s without the new wardrobe, ice creams and cocktails!

Whether staycation or vacation plans are being made, the majority of the UK will be left digging out dusty luggage that’s been stored away thanks to coronavirus, meaning there’s a dire need to beautify Britain’s baggage!

Looking good and feeling great for the trip of a lifetime starts with the perfect packing! Ryman’s luggage range has proven to be a hit as holiday makers get their prep underway.

As hand luggage on airlines has been downsized to backpacks only, Google data shows Brits are still looking for a lucky loophole to avoid an excess baggage cost of up to £200! Search for ‘How strict are Ryanair with hand luggage’ is up 550 per cent and ‘EasyJet hand luggage weight’ is up 70 per cent over the last 30 days.

Choose a cost-effective, reliable suitcase or backpack from Ryman, to make sure you’re not disappointed by your old bags – and avoid incurring any extra costs before you jet off!
