The £19.99 easyJet travel bag that's the perfect size to avoid hand luggage fees with 3 colours

Feb 15, 2024

The bag can fit up to 20 litres of luggage with space for a laptop and a drinks bottle

One of the perks of budget airlines is the low price of flights, but often holidaymakers can be caught out by sneaky extra costs for luggage. easyJet allows customers one cabin bag to certain dimensions, and anything that exceeds that size can incur additional fees.

Luckily, Amazon is selling a hand luggage bag that perfectly fits the required dimensions to avoid hand luggage fees and it costs just £19.99. What's more, it's available in three colours - black, blue, and grey.

The GobiSea Cabin Underseat Flight Bag fits the easyJet requirements, meaning you won't have to pay the £48 fee to put the bag in the hold. It has a 20-litre capacity, so there is plenty of room to add in your flight essentials.

EasyJet requires cabin bags to be a maximum size of 45 x 36 x 20cm (including any handles and wheels) and it can weigh up to 15kg. The airline has an app on which you can use your phone camera to check whether your bag fits the correct dimensions.

If you exceed the sizing allowed, easyJet will charge travellers £48 to check the bag into the hold. The GobiSea Cabin Underseat Flight Bag, is 40 x 25 x 20cm so is the perfect size to avoid paying extra.

The bag has a back pass-through panel so you can slide the bag over suitcase handles for practicality. It's made using Oxford fabric and has thick padding to help it resist damage, dirt and water.

GobiSea's bag has a wet and dry pocket so you can pack toiletries (at the required sizes for flying) and clothing, alongside a padded laptop compartment. There is even a water bottle pocket.

Amazon shoppers love the bag, rating it almost exclusively five stars. One reviewer said: "This is a brilliant little bag. Full of little pockets. Sturdy. Can pack loads .

"Small and strong material. Strong zips. Colour is lovely. It looks like as thought it's going to be a companion for many years to come."

Another person called it: "perfect." However, some reviewers took issue with the bag's design.

One shopper commented: "Although probably not a design anybody would choose other than for flying, this cabin bag does tick all the boxes in terms of fitting easily on a flight, being easy to carry, with a good amount of pockets and all in a water resistant material."

A second person agreed, writing: "I absolutely hate the big white logo on the side. It stands out like a sore thumb. Feels like a walking advert."

If you can look past the logo, you can shop the GobiSea Cabin Bag Underseat Flight Bag on Amazon here. For anyone looking for a more high-quality alternative, this black shoulder bag by IT Luggage is just £40 at Argos.
