Aerolite MiniMAX 30L EasyJet 45x36x20 Maximum Size Cabin

I used this at Christmas to carry wine glasses I’d bought as presents (what possessed me???) while flying back home on Easyjet. Really didn’t want to risk putting them in my hold luggage, but my usual backpack just wasn’t big enough for all my stuff. It was amazing – not the most comfortable to wear as a backpack, but as soon as I checked my hold luggage, I simply used it as a wheelie suitcase. Fit perfectly under the seat in front of me on the plane. So good!
It fits so much – I am going to try using it as my only suitcase for my summer hols, as I refuse to pay another 96 on top of my flight costs for CABIN LUGGAGE. That is mental. Not doing it anymore. If it fits everything I need for the time I’m away (and in summer everything is so light weight and easily rolled up, it should), it will end up saving me loads of money.
Yes, it tends to fall over when it’s stood up as a wheelie suitcase and the weight isn’t well distributed, but that is not its primary function – I can totally live with that.
My only concern is the shoulder straps do not feel ENTIRELY solid, so the day may come that they rip. I hope not, but I have handy people in the family who could sort that out if and when it happens. Just be gentle when you’re putting the backpack on when it’s heavy, to avoid issues.
All in all, it seems to be great value for money this far. I will edit the review after the summer hols if necessary.
