Recommend your under-seat/personal item bag

[Anonymous]

Looking for a new under-seat (not overhead bin) carry-on bag, ideally with backpack straps. I have a little rolling bag, plus a great over-the-shoulder tote which I love when I also bring along a second suitcase. But when that tote is full, I hate lugging it through the airport/train station/wherever because it starts to hurt my shoulder. I'd love to have a bag that I can use as my only carryon (for weekend trips, etc.) by slinging it on my back. Do you have one you really like?

I hate putting things under the seat. Think of the damp bathroom floor and the fact that passengers on previous flights trekked back to your seat with all those germs and bodily fluids on the bottom of their shoes.

If you're determined to do this, find something washable.

I have this, it's a nice size.

I love this Tumi backpack and now that I have it I’ve noticed how many travelers have the same one!

I'm not going to eat it, PP. I'm using it to hold clothes and shoes.

I don't care how nice it is. It is at least $400 overpriced.

I also have a similar version of this from Tumi. It's popular with a lot of women who travel a lot for work.

I use my osprey hiking pack. I’m usually on travel where I’m active so it always doubles as my personal item.

Why not just put it in the overhead with your carry on?

That only works if there is space. Most of the time the overheads bins are filled up with carry on luggage.

Also, when traveling with two carryons, one has to be small enough to fit under the seat, regardless of whether you actually end up placing it there.

It’s not stylish, but I really like my travelino tote and another little bag I have from them. I haven’t tried the backpack but I think the brand is reliable for the price point.
