If you've booked a last-minute flight on short notice or are finally heading off on a long-awaited vacation, you'll likely be searching for a travel bag that can fit under your seat.
You know the kind of trip-ruiner it can be when you're hit with excess baggage fees right before you're about to board your flight, but thankfully over the past year or so, TikTok has come to the rescue, showcasing the perfect bag to fit all your holiday essentials and meet those pesky luggage requirements.
Available to buy from Amazon, the Kono holdall measures just 35 x 20 x 20cm, which means it's approved for carry-on by notoriously strict Ryanair, as well as easyJet, British Airways, Etihad, Emirates, Delta, Flybe, Lufthansa, Norwegian, Jet2, KLM, Qatar, Wizz Air and Virgin Atlantic. And it weighs just 0.3kg, so you don't have to worry about exceeding weight limits. That's just awesome.
In this video, the TikTok creator packs her bag with underwear (four pairs!), a bikini, a sarong, a summer dress, a gym set, loungewear, sunglasses, sandals, a straightener, all her makeup, a small beach clutch bag, and all her electronics. The bag is bigger than it looks, it's roomy and it costs just £16, so you can save your pennies for a giant Toblerone.
If that wasn't enough, the bag is made from durable, waterproof materials to protect your belongings from rain (a big no-no) and mojito spills (more likely), and it comes with two handle straps to choose from depending on your preference, as well as a shoulder strap that can be easily slung around your body.
Thanks to a clever attachment strap, this really practical holiday bargain can also be attached to a telescoping trolley handle, making it easy to carry when you set off – perfect for those last-minute packing needs, and it also comes with an easy-access front zip pocket, so you don't have to worry about fumbling around in your bag for your passport.
The ultimate test was getting through security, and I'm happy to report that it did so with flying colors. So if you don't want to get hot and bothered layering up extra clothing in order to avoid those pesky (and expensive) baggage fees, this bag is perfect for you.
KONO bags have been incredibly popular and continue to sell out since word of mouth spread, so we've found an equally good alternative. Don't worry, we've done the research and can confidently say that we'll make you (and the Ryanair security team) very happy…
