As the summer season approaches, many Brits are preparing for holidays abroad. Whether traveling for a couple of weeks or just a few days, packing smart is essential. Strict baggage rules can dampen any vacation, but one cabin bag from Home Bargains meets multiple airline requirements and costs under a tenner.
Home Bargains' Affordable Cabin Backpack
The Salisburys Carry-On Cabin Lightweight Backpack, priced at just £9.99, measures approximately 45x13x15cm. While this is larger than Ryanair's restrictions, it is free to use as hand luggage on flights with easyJet, Jet2, British Airways, and Tui. The bag is part of Home Bargains' own Salisburys line of affordable luggage and travel gear, exclusive to the retailer.
For longer trips, Home Bargains also offers hard shell suitcases for under £20. The Salisburys backpack is described as "spacious yet compact," designed for easy packing and carrying. It features a super lightweight construction, a fully lined interior, and multiple fully zipped compartments for travel documents.
Product Description
Home Bargains states: "Travel light and in style with the Salisburys Carry-On Cabin Lightweight Backpack in sleek black! Perfect for your adventures, this spacious yet compact backpack is designed for easy packing and effortless carrying."
Alternative for Ryanair Travelers
For Ryanair passengers, Home Bargains stocks the Bordlite Under Seat Cabin Bag, which measures 40x30x20cm—the exact required dimensions—for just £5.99. The Daily Record's Shopping Writer Rachel Williams tested a similar bag from B&M and found it roomy enough for a five-day trip with smart packing.
She noted: "It might not look as stylish as some cabin bags from Primark, but B&M's Bordlite Cabin Bag is a surprisingly roomy and practical choice for extended breaks. The main compartment held several days' worth of clothing without bulging, and the handles fit over a suitcase for easy transport."
Other Options
Home Bargains also offers the Salisburys PU Leather Rucksack for £9.99, combining sleek design with lightweight, durable materials. However, at 58x28x14.5cm, it is larger and may require checking in on flights. It comes in neutral cream and purple hues, with multiple zipped compartments.
The Salisburys Carry-On Cabin Lightweight Backpack is available now at Home Bargains for £9.99.
