Bring it On Board
What you take onto the plane — from a personal item bag to a carry-on suitcase — is your most important luggage.
CARRY-ON TRAVEL IS CHANGING. Some travellers are opting to travel with only a cabin (or under-seat) bag to avoid lost luggage and for the ease of travelling lighter.
If it is your only luggage, you’ll need to rethink how to pack. Maximize space in your cabin bag by using packing cubes, and include essentials such as medications, chargers, toiletries and a change of clothes.
It’s important to choose a cabin bag that gives you plenty of options, such as wheels, lighter weight, anti-theft features or added compartments.
Check out these versatile, well-crafted luggage pieces before you carry on travelling.
