Carry-On Totes & Backpacks Buying Guide


Category: Airline luggage and carry-on luggage Buying Guides

Every traveler has some important items they can't afford to lose - whether they are daily necessities like medications and eyeglasses, or valuables like jewelry, cameras, and laptops.
The above mentioned things must be carried on to the plane to prevent potential loss. So choosing a wonderful carry-on bag is vital to a comfortable and worry-free journey. A spacious, easy-to-pack carry-on tote bag, or a comfortable, handy backpack, will be a terrific choice to organize your carry-on gear.

Much as we hate to admit it, Murphy's Law is often right, especially when it comes to packing - we always end up packing more than we have planned. That's why a well-designed tote or backpack becomes a necessity. A rolling carry-on adds wheels and a retractable handle to its non-rolling siblings, making itself indispensable for air travelers. The wheels are a huge plus because this means you can roll the bag instead of carrying it all over the airport.

When choosing a rolling tote bag or backpack, we suggest you get a model about 17' or 18" in size instead of a 22" carry on. Smaller bags are most likely to fit in the overhead bins or under the seats.

Lots of luggage companies are making carry-on totes and backpacks to fit every taste. Some bags come with a laptop compartment or a removable laptop sleeve with extra padding to hold a 17" notebook computer.
Others may have inside pockets to organize all your electronics such as your camera, PDA or cell phone. When choosing your carry-on luggage, make sure it has spacious main compartment and several pockets for all your gear, as well as a zippered pocket in the front for quick access to your travel documents.

The quality of the wheels, handles, zippers and straps should all be taken into consideration. For more information in these aspects, check out our Q & As for luggage specs.
