Next’s cabin bag The Cabin Max Vela 20L Tote Bag combines practicality and style, effortlessly sliding under seats on airlines like Ryanair and Easyjet. Once you land, it doubles as a ‘stylish’ shoulder bag.

Holidaymakers are singing the praises of its myriad pockets and compartments, perfect for ‘storing cables, phone, Kindle and chargers making them easy to find’. You’re spoilt for choice with six hues to pick from – black, pink, brown, grey, blue, or cream, reports Birmingham Live.

Crafted from durable 600D PU material with sleek metallic accents, this lightweight tote measures 40cm by 20cm by 25cm. In addition, there’s a backpack option for £40, a four-wheeled cabin case at £50, and a nifty vanity case for £30. The under seat cabin bag has earned an impressive overall rating of 4.5 stars.

One satisfied customer reported: “I bought this specifically for a Ryanair flight, it fitted perfectly under the seat in front and it was easy to carry round as you just sat it on top of the cabin bag, very spacious and looks good.”

Another enthused: “Very spacious. I love the different pockets for storing cables, phone, Kindle and chargers making them easy to find. Has enough space to be a very useful overnight bag.”

A third chipped in with praise, saying: “Lovely travel bag – fits just right under the seat in front on the aeroplane. Plenty of pockets and room for travel things, area for passport etc. would highly recommend. The shoulder strap is very comfortable to wear when carrying the bag.”

Another delighted user shared: “Great, stylish bag. Lots of different compartments. Used it on an Easy Jet flight, also Ryanair. Really pleased with it. Good quality and like the colour of the trim.” An additional comment read: “Very stylish bag. Lots of compartments. Very easy to access passports etc without having to open all the bag by using the side zip panels.”

Despite the shower of positive feedback, one reviewer thought it was a tad overpriced: “Nice size to take on plane with lots of space for your passports, electrical devices etc.. felt price was a bit expensive, hence 4 stars and not 5.”

Next’s description of the Cabin Max bag reads: “The 40x25x20cm design is perfect for avoiding extra hand luggage fees on airlines like Ryanair. Wear it as a shoulder bag, carry it by the top handles or combine it with your rolling luggage via the rear handle pass-through.”
