The TAKT 20
Straight past
the bag drop.
Forty by thirty by twenty. The free under-seat allowance on Ryanair, Jet2, TUI and Wizz Air is exactly that, and easyJet allows more.

Will it fit your flight?
Airlines set the rules and airlines change them. We read every allowance off the carrier's own page and date the check, so you can see when we last looked rather than take our word for it.

About the British Airways row. BA have withdrawn the hand baggage allowances page we used to read, and now publish the figure through an interactive baggage calculator instead of on a page we can link you to. The figure shown is the last one we read from them, on 13 September 2026, and we have left it here because it is more useful than a blank. Treat it as the last known figure rather than a checked one, and confirm it in BA's own calculator before you fly.
In takt
Takt means beat.
Pace. Tempo.
It is a German word. A bar of music, and the stroke of an engine. Swedish and Danish borrowed it for pace.
We make bags for people who fly often rather than far. The city break every six weeks. The Thursday work flight. The trip you have done enough times to know exactly what fits.
