Airlines are making it tougher on weight restrictions. It is frustrating to arrive at the gate and then be required to check in your cabin bags. Here are some cabin bags that weigh less than 2 Kg.
A lot of wheeled cabin cases do not make this cut especially spinners with 4 wheels. I fly a lot domestically and personally find the spinner a very space inefficient design. But most people love them.
Of course, if you want a really light option you can buy a satchel that weighs less than a kilo. You have to carry these though and when you spend a lot of time walking between a car park and a terminal – that requires a young back.
My dream travel bag for a light weight air adventure is the Tom Binh Aeronaut pictured in below.
I have never seen one in the flesh but the reviews are pretty positive.
I have a bias for products made in the USA (starting with guitars and amplifiers).
I have a cheaper version of the Tom Binh by Macpac – a 40 litre bag with hideaway shoulder straps.
