It was so uncomfortable to wear but it was good at testing out whether we could shove a colossal bag into these cages! This includes: a 13inch laptop pocket, an easy access top pocket and an expandable water bottle compartment. I take it on most short trips around Europe and once even took it for two weeks in Costa Rica when travelling with a carry-on only. Some of the innovative features of the rucksack are a fully padded back, so that it is easy on the back muscles, making carrying loads around all day a breeze.

The John Lewis Girona four-wheel cabin case has 55 x 35 x 20cm dimensions, making it suitable for Jet2, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic flights.

To avoid any last-minute surprises and additional charges, it’s handy to check the cabin baggage policies of each airline before your trip.

In this post, I’ve chosen my favourite bags and backpacks, and also gathered recommendations from fellow travel bloggers, to make sure this list ONLY includes tried-and-tested cabin bags that you can trust. Warm Tips: The backpack is made of soft cloth, please do NOT overload, otherwise, it will exceed the actual size. Baby food like breast milk, baby formula, processed food are allowed - and do not count in the 100ml restriction. but I have heard from plenty of followers that they have been – both when their bag has been over and when it hasn’t. With dimensions of 54 x 36 x 25cm, it would fit on all the same flights as the cheaper model, and weighs 3kg.don’t really like to fly RyanAir or EasyJet – I try to avoid booking them as much as I can, to be honest. This sleek designed compact day pack measures 42x29x12 cm in its dimensions – Ryanair allows 40 by 20 by 25 so its perfect. Unlike some travellers, I actually like the straps, and feel that they are comfortable for long trips. Carry-on bags can be a huge life-saver, but only when you pick the right one - so choose them wisely.
