Cabin Backpacks

What our 20 cabin backpacks offer

Every style here is a backpack for hand luggage, with stated capacities from about 15 litres on our small tactical backpack, which has a waist strap, to 36 to 55 litres on an expandable cabin backpack. Of the styles that state a weight, the lightest, a backpack that opens wide, weighs 0.37 kg, and our lightweight 20L cabin backpack, at 500 g, is described as sliding easily under the seat and has a chest strap.

As bags for hand luggage, these styles also organise the trip itself. Six have a separate shoe compartment, three keep wet and dry things apart, and five have a USB port for charging your devices on the move. Four open fully like a suitcase or to 180 degrees, three have a strap that slides over a suitcase handle, such as our waterproof faux leather laptop backpack, and three have an anti-theft zip pocket on the back. The wide-opening backpack also has side pockets for water bottles.

For a backpack for carry-on that also holds your laptop, the stated laptop compartments range from 14 to 17 inches. Most describe their fabric as waterproof, five are faux leather or trimmed with it, three are tactical or military-style backpacks, and several are unisex. Five have wheels and a telescopic handle, and you can compare them with our other backpacks with wheels.

Cabin backpack essentials for travelling light

Travelling in style and with ease has never been so simple. A good cabin backpack lets you take all the essentials without paying extra fees. This ideal solution combines comfort, organisation and compliance with airline rules.

The regulation sizes to follow

Each airline sets its own hand luggage dimensions, and there is no single standard size. Many distinguish the under-seat bag, which goes under the seat in front of you, from the larger cabin bag, placed in the overhead locker and often paid for, so check both measurements on your ticket before choosing your cabin backpack for the plane.

The easyJet size, slightly larger, also takes the wide-opening backpack with a shoe compartment and the vintage faux leather backpack.
