Looking to save money flying?

It’s no secret that flying generally costs a ton. Beyond the actual prices for tickets, there are all kinds of fees, including those for luggage. When some airlines started charging to check bags, many travelers responded by only flying with carry-on luggage. However, now some carriers are charging extra for even the one carry-on that used to be included.

So, what’s there to do? 

How about flying with a bag that’s small enough to qualify as a personal item that can be stored under the seat in front of you, but large enough to hold everything you need?

That’s where this Waterproof Travel Backpack comes in.

Measuring in at 16.53 x 11.41 x 7.87 inches and weighting 2.5 pounds, the bag meets airline personal item requirements. The bag features two waterproof clear bags, a padded laptop compartment that can hold a 17.3-inch laptop, a dry-wet compartment, several pockets, and an “anti-theft pocket” to protect items like electronics, wallets, and passports.

In addition, the bag also features a “charging hole” that allows cables to pass through, so you can charge your phone while walking. The bag is made from a padded and breathable mesh, and features adjustable chest and shoulder straps.

Carry On Backpack

Not only is this bag a dependable travel choice, but it can also save you money. For example, as of now neither Spirit Airlines or Frontier Airlines includes a carry-on with their basic economy fares.

A carry on bag is $41 with Spirit Airlines if you pay for it online before the day of your flight. If you pay for it at the gate, it will cost you a whopping $65! And Frontier Airlines will charge upwards of $60 for a carry on bag as well. WILD.

This backpack is awesome!

That’s why we LOVE this bag. It counts as a personal item and NOT as a carry-on. It will easily fit under the seat in front of you and has room for plenty of trip essentials.

Fry has taken this bag with her to Disney World on budget airlines multiple times and swears by it. She has even used it as a park bag as well, just leaving some things back in the room.
