When heading abroad, the last thing you want to do is bring along a 23kg suitcase to take on the flight.
"I spent last week in Porto and flew with Ryanair on the way there, having already paid for one cabin bag and another small bag to take on board with me as we were flying with a different airline on return. "The holdall is water resistant and made with a thick nylon-like material, which is an upgrade made last year from a previous version of the bag in order to make it more durable.
"I also tried to fold everything up as small as it would go, which definitely helped. By the time I had fit everything in, the bag was able to zip up with ease, and didn't even feel too heavy," she explained. "I also found this to be a better option than a suitcase in the end, as it was easier to lift and store in the overhead luggage hold - although it also fitted under the seat."
