Carry-on travel bag: cabin size, with or without wheels
A carry-on travel bag is a soft, cabin-size bag that you take on the plane as hand luggage. This collection includes the models from Travelite, Samsonite, Reisenthel, ByMetz, MOSZ and Enrico Benetti: from a compact 40 x 30 x 20 cm bag for under the seat to a 55 x 40 x 20 cm travel bag with two wheels.
Which carry-on travel bag size suits your flight?
Every airline sets its own hand luggage sizes. The 40 x 30 x 20 cm model is made for the rules of Transavia, Ryanair and Corendon. For easyJet there is a 45 x 36 x 20 cm bag, and for KLM a 55 x 35 x 25 cm set. Always check the current rules, and for the smallest sizes, take a look at the small travel bags.
With or without wheels?
A travel bag with two wheels, such as the Travelite Kick Off, is one you pull behind you. A bag without wheels weighs less, and you carry it by the handles or by the detachable shoulder strap. Several models have a trolley sleeve that you slide over the handle of your suitcase. You will find all the lightweight models among the travel bags without wheels.
How is it different from a weekend bag?
A weekend bag is meant for a short trip by car or train, without cabin size limits. A carry-on travel bag sticks to those sizes and sometimes has a laptop compartment or a document compartment. Looking for a weekend bag that can still go into the cabin? Then take a look at the carry-on weekend bags.
How do you care for a polyester or nylon travel bag?
Clean the outside with a slightly damp cloth and let the bag dry open at room temperature. Empty the compartments after every trip and store the bag in a dry place.
Frequently asked questions
Does a laptop fit in a carry-on travel bag? Some of the models have a separate laptop compartment and a document compartment. Check the size of the compartment for each product and compare it with the screen size of your laptop.
What is an expandable carry-on travel bag? An expandable model grows with an extra zip from 40 x 30 x 15 cm to 40 x 30 x 20 cm. That way you travel out with a flat bag and come back with a fuller one.
