Traveling light is a skill and a talent, one that we might not have mastered, but we’ve certainly gained some experience with. We love flying in for a quick trip to Disney World with only our carry-on, and we have a few tried-and-true bags that fit under the seat.
Whether you’re going for a weekend trip or just really hate the extra fees that come with checking your bag, you might want to consider one of these bags to make your next travel day even easier.
First, we have this Travel Carry-On Backpack
We like this one because we can fully unzip the front so we can place our items in and pack it up. This is so much easier than going from the top down, and the inside even has zippered pockets, pouches, and a clip to keep your clothes in place.
There’s also this Rolling Luggage Carry-On
Carrying a backpack through the airport not your thing? This might work! Even though it has wheels and a handle, it’s meant to fit under the seat in front of you since it’s only 17 inches. It’s also 44% off right now and only weighs 5 pounds. There are different pockets inside this one, too.
We like this Spinner Hardside Suitcase, too
This one can fit in the overhead bin and comes in some pretty cool colors, so you know which one is yours. If you can’t tell already, I love organizing my backpack, and yes, there are zippered sections and pouches. It also has a TSA-approved lock in case you decide to check your bag, and it has a handle underneath to make it easy to slide into the overhead bin.
This Two-Set Carry-On might work well for you
It comes with two suitcases, so you can put the bigger one in the overhead bin and keep the smaller one down below so you can access your personal items. I love how the small one slides onto the handle of the big one for easy rolling through the airport. The smaller bag is a laptop pouch that folds out, and there are plenty of zippered compartments.
We love this Hardside Spinner Carry-On, as well
First off, it comes in pink; therefore, I have no complaints. The inside even has a fun design, which I almost never see! This suitcase is meant to be durable and has an adjustable handle so you can pick just the right height, versus other ones that only have one option. I love the hook on the back by the handles, so you can hang a backpack, and the expansion zipper when you’ve bought a few too many souvenirs.
Finally, this Carry-On Hardside Luggage has a cup holder
Need I say anything else? It’s from Wrangler, so you know it’s durable, and there’s literally a cup holder on the back to put a coffee cup (or soda cup if you’re me). I also love the color options here, like this pretty lilac. It’s 20 inches, so you can fit it into the overhead bins with ease.
Traveling is never easy, but the right suitcase sure does make life easier. Make sure you keep following Disney Food Blog for more travel tips and tricks.
