Updated October 10, 2026
- 45 x 30 x 20 cm with castors, 40 x 30 x 20 cm without wheels; 20 L; 2 kg (listing)
- One-click removable wheels with a storage bag for them (listing)
- Three-digit TSA combination lock (listing)
- Elastic cross straps and dividers inside (listing)
- Listing says it is adapted to Ryanair, Wizz Air and Vueling free-bag rules without wheels, and to check your airline's current rules
Good for
easyJet flyers who want a wheeled, structured under-seat case, and occasional Ryanair flyers willing to take the wheels off.
Skip it if
Anyone who wants to roll the case right up to a Ryanair gate sizer without fuss; travellers who need a soft bag that squeezes.
Our take
On this page
Our verdict
The Flashline Underseat is a neat answer to the wheels problem. With its castors on, the listing gives 45 x 30 x 20 cm, which sits inside easyJet's 45 x 36 x 20 cm limit, and easyJet counts wheels and handles. Take the one-click wheels off and it measures 40 x 30 x 20 cm, the Ryanair free size, with a bag to keep the wheels in. You get a hard shell, a TSA combination lock and interior straps, at 20 litres and 2 kg.
The catch for Ryanair is practical: you need to remove the wheels before the bag is checked against the sizer, and then carry the wheels as well. A hard shell cannot squeeze, so there is no give if it is borderline. The variant trap: American Tourister sells other Flashline sizes, including 55 cm cabin spinners; this link is the 45 cm underseat model.
Using it on each airline
On easyJet, keep the wheels on. On Ryanair or Wizz Air, take them off before you reach the gate and stow them in their bag inside the case if they fit, or you risk the case being measured at 45 cm.
FAQ
Does it fit easyJet's free under-seat allowance?
On the listed dimensions, yes: 45 x 30 x 20 cm with wheels against easyJet's 45 x 36 x 20 cm including wheels.
Does it fit Ryanair's free bag?
Only with the wheels removed, when the listing gives 40 x 30 x 20 cm.
How we researched this
Checked on 10 October 2026 against the Amazon.co.uk listing and Ryanair's and easyJet's bag pages. American Tourister's UK website blocked our request, so details are from the listing. We did not measure or use this case.
