If, like me, you prefer to carry your baggage on your back and need to walk a fair distance with it - but still prefer to keep its size below the cheap flight carrier's allowed carry-on baggage:
Easy Jet: 56 x 45 x 25cm
Ryan Air: 56 x 40 x 20cm
Vueling Air: 55 x 40 x 20cm
Wizz Air: 56 x 45 x 25cm paid-for allowance for "Large" item. Free allowance is 42 x 32 x 25cm (free)
The one with the most capacity that I have been using for the last two years is this eBay one. It is UNCOMFORTABLE for long periods of carrying, as it has no frame, no ventilation and is generally clumsy. But if all you need is maximum capacity 45 litre and a cheap price £25 - this is for you! Called CABIN MAX
I just bought a new, much more professional rucksack. With a solid frame, with ventilation and with side pockets from Millets / Blacks. Sold for £24 and they offer 10% student discounts. The brand is called VANGO TRAIL 35 LITRE.
Don't confuse it with Vango Transit 40 litre - which is too big and has no ventilation.
I know that Millets do a click and Collect service even from JD Sports for £1.
I can really imagine this being comfortable for 30-40 minute hikes and the stitching on it looks much more solid as well.
Sadly, the material is quite cheap nylon and the waist / chest straps are probably not all that useful - but for a 4-week trip, in Europe, i think this will do nicely!
