With the start of the New Year now fully upon us, chilly Brits are turning their thoughts to summer holidays.

Savvy travellers are picking up cut-price holiday deals in the January travel sales, as holiday companies throw in free child places, free lounge access and even free Fastrack airport deals to get us booking. But knowing where to find the perfect size luggage for your swimsuits and sundresses before you go will save you even more time and money when you get to the airport.

With different airlines including Ryanair, easyJet, TUI, British Airways and Wizz Air offering different allowances for both cabin bags and hold luggage, avoiding hold fees and excess baggage charges can be challenging.
