Best Ryanair large cabin bag that’s NOT a suitcase?

[darkgreysky]

Last summer I booked flights for a trip I’m going on in a month or so, believing that I would travel hand luggage only (🙈). Having now done a hand luggage only trip, I will not be doing that.

It means I’ve now got a checked in suitcase and a large cabin bag that I’ve paid for. I’m obviously going to use it, because it cost me money.

The thing is, I’m a bit stuck for what bag to take. I was going to take a tote, but I’m not keen on turning it to the side to size it up. My cabin bag is a Katie Loxton cabin bag that fits the dimensions perfectly.

I really don’t know what to take! I was thinking a backpack, but I’m not sure where I’d get one that fits those dimensions, but also works for day to day life.

I did consider my longchamp le pliage large tote, but again I’m not sure!

Anyone?!

I always use a large rucksack, like the sort you’d take trekking. I can’t tell you how many litres, maybe 70? So much easier than a suitcase or a tote as the weight is well balanced and you don’t get stuck on stairs, especially going through train or metro stations on the other end.

I suggest a backpack would be a good idea. You can take enough clothes for the first day in case your luggage does not arrive with you.

Why can't you take the bag you usually use as a cabin bag? If it's to do with not wanting to carry it, how about a small duffel bag type with a sleeve that you can slide over the handle of your suitcase?

I have a cabin bag, I need a large bag. I’ve got all three - a cabin bag, large cabin bag and a suitcase.
