We are counting down the days until our next holiday. Chilling for hours by the pool, reading the next big summer book, and having Fanta Lemon and Lays on repeat. But the one thing we don't love about travelling is the cost of taking luggage on the plane, which is while we'll be using Primark's underseat cabin bag the next time we jet off.
As you will most likely know, most airlines will add on a fee to take an overhead bag on the plane or an in the hold suitcase, but usually the cost of an underseat bag is included in your ticket and so if you can fit all your luggage in that bag you can keep costs to a minimum for your holiday travel.
However, that is much easier said than done when the usual size of an underseat bag is just 40 x 30 x 20 cm.
Primark's travel bag however, will work for most airlines and it will fit so much stuff in it, oh and did we mention it's just £12?
See the bag here:
The bag measures at 40 x 25 x 20cm and so works for the majority of airlines including Jet2, RyanAir and EasyJet, but still be sure to check before you travel.

Despite it's size, if you're clever with your packing you can get a number of outfits in here to last your summer holiday. With a volume around 20 litres, if you're packing light weight summer clothing including shorts, T-shirts dresses and bikinis, you could very realistically use just this bag for your whole holiday wardrobe. However, if it's a winter trip or you're taking away bulky items it may be more of a squeeze.
The bag has a quilted exterior which enhances it beyond a simple bag and has an outer zipped section, which is ideal for holding your need-to-grab essentials while travelling. It's also got sturdy handles which means it'll be easy to carry throughout airports.
Primark sells the bag in store and it's available in both black and cream shades, however, given the nature of travelling, we'd opt for the black bag so there's less chance of marks or airport grime showing up on your bag.
Now, can someone pass us the suncream?
