FLIGHT attendants swear by a carry on bag that is perfect for taking on board planes.
The Travelpro Luggage Maxlite 5 is very popular among members of cabin crew, who have a lot of experience of packing for flights.
The ultra lightweight bag fits the hand luggage dimensions of most commercial airlines, meaning passengers can pack safe in the knowledge they won’t pay for excess baggage.
It’s made out of a polyester fabric with a stain resistant, water repellant duraguard coating, while the ergonomic, high tensile strength zipper provides lasting durability.
The bag‘s rear strap allows secure stacking, while the top carry handle and removable padded shoulder strap offer carrying options.
Meanwhile, the front flap, roomy interior and built in pockets keep contents organised and accessible.
The bag comes with limited lifetime cover for a limited time, plus a trusted companion promise, which covers the cost of repair for damage from airlines for a whole year.
It easily fits in any domestic or international overhead bin and under the seat and is designed to allow passengers to focus on the weight of the contents, not the weight of the bag.
The Maxlite 5 is currently available on Amazon for £127, or six payments of £21.19.
It has an overall rating of 4.7/5 from more than 3,000 reviews, showing just how popular it is.
Of those reviews, 94 per cent of people gave it a rating of either four or five stars.
People were impressed with its durability and the amount they could fit in.
One flight attendant commented: “This is a great bag.
“Yes it’s pricey. But you get what you pay for. I’m cabin crew so all my travel bags are hard working & take a bashing.
“It’s roomy enough.”;;
Another person said: “It holds A LOT! Very sturdy and roomy for a small bag, with lots of side pockets- great for overnight travel.”;;
A third added: “Held way more than I thought it would. Love this bag!”;;
Meanwhile, these are the airlines with the strictest hand luggage rules.
And this is what you can and cannot take in your hand luggage.
