"Most underseat bags carry like a briefcase. This one has proper padding and a sternum strap, so walking across a city with it full is fine."Marcus T., sample review

FAQ
What counts as a personal item?
A small bag that fits under the seat in front of you. A carry-on goes in the overhead bin. Many low fares include only the personal item.
Do your personal items fit every airline?
No bag fits every airline. The Underseat Pro is within the published limit on 7 of the 16 airlines in our checker that publish a size. Check yours before you fly.
Can I use one as my only bag?
Yes, for short trips. Travelers typically pack three to seven days in the Underseat Pro with compression cubes.
A personal item is the one bag most fares include for free, which makes it worth choosing as carefully as a suitcase. Size limits differ by airline, so start with the published limit for the carriers you fly most, then pick the largest bag inside it. Think about access too: your laptop, a jacket, snacks and medication should be reachable without standing up mid-flight.
