With the bank holiday weekend just days away, lots of savvy shoppers will be jetting off on mini-breaks – and keen to keep extra costs to a minimum.
Budget carriers like Ryanair and EasyJet are notoriously stringent with their baggage rules, meaning flyers can usually only bring a single small personal item onboard for free.
Amazon sells plenty of bargain luggage – no doubt aimed at panicky last-minute spenders – but this particular underseat backpack has racked up thousands of rave reviews.
Measuring exactly 40x20x25cm, in line with Ryanair hand luggage rules, the 20-litre bag is perfectly sized to slide under the seat, meaning you won’t have to spend any extra fees.
It’s got two main compartments, including a suitcase-style opening for clothes, plus a separate padded sleeve that fits a 14-inch laptop.
The backpack boasts a TSA-friendly design, which means it unfolds flat between 90 and 180 degrees so you do not have to clumsily unpack your electronics at airport security.
It also features a handy luggage strap to slide over your main suitcase handle, and a hidden anti-theft pocket that’s perfect for passports and other valuables.
We in the Sun Shopping team haven’t tested this backpack ourselves.
But over 5,000 Amazon shoppers have left five-star reviews on the website, stunned by its quality at that cheap-as-chips price.
“I used this bag for an 8-day trip across Europe,” one happy traveller wrote.
“It was perfect for under the seat on both Ryanair and EasyJet. (No extra fees!) The compartments were all great.”
Another impressed flyer noted: “I have to say, it really impressed me. I easily managed to fit my essentials, including a 14-inch laptop, which had its own padded compartment – a nice touch for protection.
“The straps on this bag make it comfortable to carry around, whether you’re hiking through the airport or simply stashing it under the seat.”
It feels sturdy and well-made, which gives me confidence it’ll hold up during my travels.”
A third shopper added: “Much bigger than you expect, love this, couldn’t go wrong.
“I was amazed at how much I could fit in the bag and how it has a holster to put on my carry-on handle.
“Wow, love it. Worth every penny!”
Sale prices vary across each colour of the bag, and Amazon has marked the discount as a limited-time deal, so jet-setters will need to move fast.
The Sun’s Travel writer Jenna Stevens spotted a similar deal on a Ryanair underseat cabin bag – and one that’s actually pretty stylish too.
