Ultimate One-Bag Travel Bag Comparison
One-bag travel represents the ultimate freedom for many travelers. No check-in fees. No waiting at the baggage carousel. And peace of mind that your gear is always nearby and easily accessible. But making the most of one-bag travel involves picking the right bag for your needs. There are many great options out there but some will suit you better than others depending on your priorities, such as carry comfort, space, or ease of access.
Keen to embrace this way of traveling but not sure what bag to choose? The one-bag travel bag comparison below is a great place to start…
Small One-Bag Travel Carry
These bags are good for shorter trips and can double as day bags at your destination.
YNOT Magnetica
Medium-Small One-Bag Travel Carry
These bags are solid options if you’re looking for good capacity for single-bag travel. However, they aren’t as well suited to daily use at your destination due to factors such as size or less adaptable aesthetics.
Medium One-Bag Travel Carry
These options have a bulkier feel to them, beefy in build with a slightly less sleeker feel than previous options.
Aer Travel Pack (updated to version 2)
Large One-Bag Travel Carry
It’s important to note that these options may have the same capacity as previously mentioned bags. However, they have a large feel to them and some will simply be larger.
