Cabin travel bag

The cabin travel bag, from £21.90 to £191.90

A cabin travel bag stays with you during the flight: a soft bag with handles, a travel backpack with stated dimensions, or a business bag with a laptop pocket. This Bagiora selection brings together all three, in nylon, Oxford, polyester, canvas, PU leather and genuine leather depending on the product page.

Soft bags with handles

The cheapest is the foldable 22 L travel bag, in waterproof nylon, which its product page states is cabin-approved for flights, at £21.90. The ultra-light foldable in nylon (£46.90) comes in nine colours for hiking and leisure.

In waterproof Oxford, the large-capacity bag with shoe compartment is £34.90 (with wet and dry laundry separation) and £39.90. The colourful Oxford bag (£47.90) and the Sport Essential (£49.90) are aimed at sport and the weekend. In nylon, the weekender (£39.90) and the large-capacity crossbody bag (£39.90) remain the simplest. For more style, the retro crocodile-effect bag in waterproof PU (£54.90) and the canvas Explorer (£79.90, six colours).

To compare with larger formats, our leather travel luggage bring together the Prestige, vintage waxed canvas models and a small genuine leather bag.

What is the size for cabin baggage?

There is no single size: each airline sets its own dimensions and weight, and often distinguishes the bag that slides under the seat from the cabin bag stored overhead. The bags on this page that give their measurements range from 40 × 20 × 25 to 40 × 30 × 20 cm, and the Expandable Business up to 52 × 34 × 27 cm. Always check the rules on your ticket: our dimensions are for comparison, not to presume the carrier's agreement.

Cabin travel bag or cabin suitcase?

The rigid cabin suitcase protects a fragile item better and rolls on smooth ground. The soft travel bag weighs less, squashes into a boot that is already full and fits better on stairs or a train. The cabin backpack frees both hands during connections. You can also combine a cabin suitcase with a small backpack slipped under the seat, when the ticket allows.

What type of bag for cabin travel by plane?

A soft bag with handles for a weekend, a backpack with the measurements stated on the product page for a single-bag flight, a business bag with a laptop pocket for work.

Frequently asked questions about the cabin travel bag

What is the best cabin bag for travelling?

The one that suits your journey: a bag with a shoe compartment for sport, a bag with a laptop pocket for work, a vacuum bag to carry more in the same volume, a foldable bag for a small budget.

Can I have cabin baggage and a backpack?

It depends on your ticket. When it allows a bag under the seat in addition to the suitcase or cabin bag, a backpack with the dimensions stated on the product page or a lightweight foldable bag will do.
