Carry On Garment Bag Ryanair Approved

We are travelling to Spain for our son's wedding. First going to Portugal on Iberia, business class and then flying Ryanair from Porto to Barcelona. Although we are each checking a bag, I want very much to carry on my formal dress and husband's suit, just in case. So I paid to also carry on a bag on Ryanair.

Can anyone recommend a specific garment bag or another piece of luggage that would hold a suit, shoes and formal dress that will abide by Ryanair's strict measurements of 55 x 40 x 20 cm maximum? I'd love to keep the garments hanging, but the priority is getting it there for sure, and as wrinkle free as possible. Most of the bags I am finding, that have the ability to hang, are too wide on the bottom. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I can't help you with a garment bag, Tracy, but have you thought about bringing along a hand-held steamer, or contacting your hotel and asking them if they have one that you can use?

It doesn't take very long to steam something that's gotten wrinkled en route, and it would be a handy device to bring along if the hotel doesn't have one.

Since you are unlikely to be able to hang the garment bag on Ryanair, thus undoing all the good of the longhaul flight, I'd concentrate on getting any bag that fits Ryanair requirements that will take your stuff, and make sure that you can get things pressed or steamed at your final destination. Barcelona has lots of pressing services, and there's always your hotel. Pack carefully using tissue paper.

Thanks, everyone. I guess there's no magic bag out there that will work on both airlines. Appreciate the advice.
