Recommendations for a super lightweight underseat bag.

[Imtoooldforallthis]

I'm looking for an underseat bag for travelling with ryannair.i ordered a little rucksack one off amazon, and although it was nicely designed, I don't like carrying a rucksack, plus one strap broke straightaway and it had a bit of weight before I even put anything in. I have ordered another over the shoulder bag and it's lovely but again quite heavy, just wondered if anyone can recommend anything a bit lighter.

And if it's stylish, that's a bonus.

Longchamp Le Pliage

I bought a MiaTui bag this year for hand luggage which I'm really happy with. They give the weight of the bags on the website which is useful.

Budget?
Longchamp- £100ish
Cheap from Amazon travel fold up bag -£6ish

If style is your main factor just pay for an overhead bag, get yourself a nice little 4-wheel cabin bag, and just pop your favourite handbag under the seat. Much less effort at the airport and you can whizz about easily without rumpling your clothes with a shoulder strap.
I used to use a Le Pliage tote but it is just a little too long in the base for the aisle seats (which have a smaller space underneath) so one corner always stuck out or got squashed.

Somewhere in between probably up to £50.

£7.99 Amazon my partner has used it for several trips and I've used for hospital

We visit our holiday home regularly and I don't take a handbag only an underseat bag.

That's the style I'm looking for but something that will last a few years

@Imtoooldforallthis tbf you don't find them I looked for ages as I like to have something practical, that does it's job well. We've had that one four years I've think, and it looks exactly the same as when new ( my longchamp does not) and my partner is not remotely careful with it. I looked at so many options and that one won
Actually I tell a lie, I picked up a nylon barrel bag for £3 in a charity shop that's fab but i can give you a link as it was s random find

Well I've ordered one, I've gone for the one witha shoulder strap 200g for £11.99

When it turns up you will think "what is that?!" But honestly I'm pretty surprised at it , it does get reached for most

Well it's not a lot to lose to give it a go.

Precisely at that price your not going to be worried about it, they are thin and light be pretty robust

I never understand the love for Mia Tui bags on MN. They look like vastly over priced PU bags. Plastic looking fake leather you'd find in a market in Brighton.

@angstypant agree, see also Strathberry ( looks like Primark trying to be fancy) and Demellier reminds me of Margaret Thatcher Mumsnet lives for them

I've never understood the love for the Longchamp Le Pliage but I manage not to be rude to those who do.

The MiaTui bag I bought is a good size, practical and well organised.

40x20x25 is the Ryanair size (45x36x20 for easyJet) so you have be so careful - some of the Le Pliages are too big when full. I haven't flown Ryanair recently but for the sake of the odd flight I'd also go cheapo Amazon. For other more generous airlines I have better ones!

We have these and they're fab (we travel with Ryanair a lot). I do think if you overpack them they might not fit the measurements but we've not had any problems so far. They have hand, shoulder and backpack straps, with space for your passport.

Cabin Max Travel Hack Travel Bags
Are great and their website tells you what airlines each size is suitable for. Can also be purchased on Amazon.

Should add that the one I got was the correct size for Ryanair!

I have one of these

It’s very light and thin, and I prefer the canvas to nylony fabric.

I use a Olend bag for cabine, it's light, holds a lot of stuff and very comfortable to carry

This is ideal, I'll see how I get on with the cheap one, but this is definitely the next one I'll try.
