I just can't get past how ugly the Foldie is.

Keep clear…. My foldie is 8 months old and have used it for 4 trips. Inside lining has ripped and the company wants nothing to do with it…I bought it from Amazon but let’s face it it’s a foldie product they don’t want to help me at all. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE

I have one I received as a gift. Used it a few times and it's... fine. It's not something I'd have bought for myself over the zillion other nylon zipper totes you can but in any store.

Except the XL is 26inches when in use and isn't carryone size. The large travel duffle would work though.

PP above and ours must be the large then. We definitely carry them on the plane without issue and can shove them under the seat if needed, but usually can put them up.

Np but if I could pay to have my larger bag with me and watch it go into the plane, Id do that. I only carry on to reduce baggage lost risk.

I have a knock off and used it for airplane/beach bag. Don't get a light color as that gets gross fast. Otherwise I like it. It's a giant carry all with a suitcase sleeve which helps. We do carryons only so for me it's this and a rolly bag. And this one fits under the seat since my kids just bring their small backpacks.

I got a Jenni bag which is a similar concept. I have never ended up using it because I can fit more into my cheap but sturdy cabin sized hard side case from Amazon Basics. The foldie may be different, but with the Jenni bag, you have to unpack the whole thing to get to any dresses. That is a pain on short trips.
