If you want to take it to the extreme, there are special jackets or waistcoats that supposedly offer space for up to ten additional kilograms. A bag from the duty-free shop can also be carried in addition to the permitted hand luggage.
Please note: At Ryanair, for example, a pillow or neck pillow may not officially be taken onto the aircraft in addition to hand luggage. This means that there is a risk of being asked to pay if the staff take a closer look. Other airlines allow pillows in addition to hand luggage.
As an alternative to large hand baggage, Ryanair also offers normal checked baggage. You can book 20 kg of checked baggage from 18 euros. Depending on the flight route and season (e.g. during the holidays or at Easter and Christmas), the airline can charge significantly more for checked baggage. When booking a flight, you may be charged up to 50 euros for checked baggage.

RocketPeople who takes dogs/cats in the cabin or in the hold pay quite a lot extra. Euro 60 for for a pet in the cabin one way, pushed under a chair. Even smaller than a bicycle.
This article is utter tosh if you can't afford to pay for a suitcase for you or one between two,what on earth are you doing on a plane in the first place
If weight is the issue here then airlines should be weighing passengers too. I visit Mallorca twice a year to cycle and bring my own bike for which I have to pay extra. I quite often see people who weigh more than me and my bike yet I have to pay more than them. Also if airlines are so interested in reducing emissions then maybe stop flying around with a load of food and drink and duty free rubbish that does not get purchased on short flights. Oh, that's right - they can make money from doing the wrong thing so will continue to do so.
