The Aerolite Backpack with Pouch, priced at £12, is a hit with travellers seeking to avoid extra baggage fees on budget airlines. It measures 40 x 30 x 20cm, the maximum free cabin bag size for Ryanair and Wizz Air, and is accepted by most airlines worldwide.
Space-Saving Design
The backpack has a 24-litre capacity, enough for clothes, shoes, and tech. Its hidden secret is a removable front pouch that doubles as a cross-body bag, perfect for days out. The main compartment includes a tablet pocket, mesh document pocket, waterproof pocket, and water-bottle holder.
Shopper Reviews
Amazon shoppers rate it 4.5 out of five stars. One buyer said it 'packs in plenty', noting they used it as a free cabin bag on easyJet to Palma. Another praised the detachable front bag for travel documents. However, one customer reported a seam rip, possibly from overpacking.
The backpack is made from recycled plastic bottles and weighs just 0.71kg. Alternatives include the Flight Knight Underseat Backpack at Next for £30 and the Equator Underseat Backpack from Cabin Max, also £30.
