The ECOHUB Ryanair Cabin Bag, which you’ll find on Amazon from as cheap as £9.59, is available in a variety of stunning colours. It’s designed with multiple compartments for storage and ranges to only £16.99, making it super affordable and great for those on a budget.
Not only is it Ryanair and EasyJet approved, but it's also small enough to be used as hand luggage for other airlines including Jet2 and British Airways. The handy bag features one main zipped compartment that is spacious enough to fit up to "a few days" worth of essentials.
There are also two inside pockets and a front zipper pocket for important items such as your passport, purse and boarding passes, while a handy keychain ensures you never lose your keys. Made from a heavy duty and waterproof material, the ECOHUB bag will ensure all your contents are kept safe and protected whilst you fly high.
It might be small but it’s super handy, perfect for easy travel and ideal for weekends and business trips. The thickened nylon handles offer versatility for carrying and you can even slip it over your suitcase for easier transport around the airport.
So if you’re looking for cabin bags, whether they’ll go under your seat or overhead, you’ll need to check these out, and fast. Shoppers eagerly flocked to Amazon to rave about the purse-friendly bag, which has an average rating of 4.4 out of five.
The cabin bag has quickly been a very popular choice among many travellers who have called it "a Tardis" for the generous storage that is "surprisingly spacious.". Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday.
1. Write a list. Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase. Or for complete ease, try Google's AI app - Gemini - which will create a list for you and help you not over pack.
2. Involve your kids. Jemma said: “My girls are getting older, they’re 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say ‘this is what you need’ and they follow the list. “And then I give them a rucksack each - and say to them ‘you can have whatever you want in there as long as it’s not liquid', and they can take that on the plane. And that’s their ‘home away from home’ items.”.
3. Try a hack or two. She said: "I think they all work, but for different reasons - and you’ve just got to pick the right one for your trip. "Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you’re trying to get a lot of items into your case, it’s a space saver.
“Packing cubes are great - for example, I’m going on holiday with my three kids and we’re all using the same suitcase for our clothes. "These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked.
"I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we’ve arrived.". 4. Decant beauty products. Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets - which are much lighter and smaller.
Or, if you'll be popping to the shops when you're abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive. 5. Get organised before you come home. Jemma said: “When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes.
“Also pack it in some form of order - so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person. "Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don’t leave it.".
One happy customer said: "Surprisingly roomy. Good quality cabin bag for use on annual holiday and occasional weekend away. "Decent colour and internal and external pocket which is useful for holding pens, notebook etc. Used several times now and really appreciate quality of what was a reasonably priced product.".
