Amazon Basics Underseat Carry On Luggage with Wheels - 14" Rolling Travel Bag, Black

Used as my flight 'personal item' for a trip to Europe. Fit okay under Delta seats (but one flight with Delta they used a 'partner airline' and it didn't fit under that other airline's seat, luckily there was plenty of overhead compartment space on that flight, also the steward lifted it up for me). I put all my heavier items (liquids-bag, power pack, makeup, travel-umbrella, etc) in this bag so I wouldn't have to strain my problem-shoulder lifting those to the overhead (I put only clothes in a cloth-type backpack as my carry-on that I put in the overhead compartment). This mini-suitcase held a lot and had enough room to squeeze my tiny travel purse when I had to consolidate items to get on planes. Especially loved the size of this when at a hostel with lockable cabinets because it fit easily and left room for my backpack to also fit in the locker. The way this bag opens worked out fine (I worried about it before my trip), I could merely partially unzip the top when I didn't want to risk things falling out (like when digging out my neck cushion when I was on planes), and then at hostels I could unzip it all the way to lower the front flap and access everything. The mesh zipper bag (sewn in at bottom and with snaps on top) confines the items toward the bottom of the bag. The three pocket removable snapped in section against the front flap was useful for organizing small items (but for my needs I didn't find it useful to remove). The handle telescoped up and down without any problem, the two wheels rolled fine (tho of course limited in direction). I put the telescoping handle down and used the hand-handles when using stairs and escalators, or when getting on and off trains and buses, as soon as I got off I'd pull up the telescoping handle again and roll. So the telescoping handle got a LOT of use and worked quickly and smoothly every time. The outside zippered pockets were handy and useful, I put foodbars on one side, Kindle with earphones on the other side, and used the front zippered inner pocket for storing my locker combination lock, and the open area in the front zippered pocket area for stuffing my pant pocket contents while going through airline security. I used a safety pin as a zipper pull to unzip the lining fabric, and taped a flat wallet with emergency cards/cash/ids to the plastic hard bottom inner surface (not terribly secure but at least not just floating around in the bag contents). With my items packed, the total weight was 15 and a half lbs, about as heavy as I can carry, and heavy enough that frequently men (and sometimes younger women) would volunteer to carry it up stairs for me (I'm in my sixties). Altogether I am VERY happy with this bag.

This is the perfect size. I never fly without a carryon stocked with one change of clothes and all necessities in case my luggage does not arrive at the final destination. What I have used in the past was really a bit big and I ended up packing more things than I needed. This little case holds just the right amount. There are pockets on the outside to hold iPad and travel documents and there is even a series of pockets for toiletries that is velcroed so you can remove and hang for use in bathroom. Love it. Fits perfectly in smaller overhead bins.

Great bag for a quick trip. It fit 3 days of outfits , including a sweatshirt and pair of shoes, plus a few extras just in case, the carry-on liquids bag, a small cosmetic bag, charger, a few books, and some small accessories and zipped shut with no problem. It rolled fine throughout the airport and it was pretty easy to manipulate the handle, although it did get stuck a time or two when it wiggled and one of the little tabs came through the hole when it wasn't supposed to. The handle is a bit wobbly and not my favorite part, but I think the bag is still a great value. It fit fine under all the seats I tried it with -- the only thing is that on some of the smaller planes, it was a little difficult to get it out from under the seat while seated, just because there wasn't much room between myself and the seat in front of me. Overall, I really liked this bag and would take it again for a short trip.

This is a nearly perfect, quality under seat carry on. I wish it was a spinner with four wheels, but it still worked out well on a recent European trip. If a spinner version is ever released, I will buy it. It held quite a bit for a carry on including my toiletries, my seat back pocket necessities and a change of clothes in a packing cube. I was impressed. It holds more than my backpack does. It fit great under the seat. I cannot lift bags over my head due to a shoulder injury, so this was great.

Update July 2, 2025 Still 5 stars great, see more below: This review is for the navy bag (not the one that is quilted.) Great piece of luggage. Fits anywhere. Holds much more than expected. This thing is like Doctor Who's TARDIS; I don't know where my stuff is going but it seems to be limitless on the inside. So far this little suitcase exceeds all expectations. It looks great, has strong handles, the fabric is tough as nails, the zippers are strong and work smoothly, and the bag always has somewhere to put that little something more that you forgot to pack in. The telescoping handle works flawlessly, as do the in-line wheels. Rolls easily. The strap for stacking on other luggage makes this even more practical than my backpack in many ways as there is no more losing things in all those backpack pockets! I really love this bag and don't know why I waited so long to get one. The suitcase has already been on city streets, in trains, planes, buses, cars, and still looks brand new so I am encouraged to hope it will last a while. The shade of navy is pleasing. I recommended this bag highly to friends and would buy it again. Update July 2, 2025: I regularly use this bag and since my original review it has continued to be my go to on planes trains and buses and city streets. Has become my primary weekender. Wheels zippers and telescoping handle all work fine. Before first use I did spray the entire bag with two coats of water repellant so that y have something to do with how it is holding up. I read the bad reviews and wonder if there are manufacturing quality inconsistencies and I just got lucky? Or maybe some over-stuff the outer pockets (which really do not appear to be made to hold too much)? I only use the outer pockets for things needed during travel like passport & documents, ear plugs, tissues, cables I'm going to use on board for my phone or earbuds for carriers that only have plug-in jacks. The main compartment, however, is incredibly accommodating. If I remove the included hanging toiletry bag that Velcro's to the bag's main compartment flap, I get a couple more inches of room and the flap becomes more flexible making it easier to zip the bag without stressing the zippers. I rarely do this but it is a trick that comes in handy when I want to put in bulky items. For a short getaway I can fit a CPAP machine with mask & hose, a pair of flip-flops, a bathing suit, underwear, socks, shorts, Anker Bluetooth speaker, an Anker Soundcore Space folding headphone, chargers, cables, external phone battery, Kindle reader, travel electric toothbrush with case, toiletries, & medications. I don't bother with compression bags, I find it better to just load the main compartment like a moving truck taking up every inch like a game of Tetris. The large flap on the main compartment zips wide open & lets you get to every part of the interior so I usually just live out of the bag. I love this bag and when it goes on sale I say jump on it!

I have owned this bag for almost a year now and in that time it has made multiple trips to FL with Spirit airlines and most recently a trip to 5 European countries with United Airlines and Lufthansa. It slides under the seat in front of me with ease and I have yet to have it be questioned at the gate as to if it will qualify as a personal item or not. My favorite feature is how it can easily slide over the handles on a larger suitcase so that you may easily travel with multiple bags if you find yourself in that situation. I can easily fit a thin pair of sandals in the side pockets and I wear a women's size 10, so no tiny feet here! I can also appreciate the removable toiletry bag on the flap and the net one inside the main compartment. It makes arranging the packing of your contents much easier. I can usually pack enough in there for 4 day trip-depending on the time of year of course. It may be a little less in the winter months with colder destinations. With all of the air miles I have put on this bag, it has held up wonderfully and I think it will continue on doing so. If you are looking to save on luggage fees, this is the bag for you!

I was looking for an underseat rollerbag for one-bag travel internationally, and liked the roominess of this bag but was concerned about the mixed reviews of whether it fit as a personal item and under the plane seats. So I packed it for a 7-day trip trip to Guatemala (only this bag) - it was very full but not overstuffed - and headed to the airport to put it in the sizers of all the airlines at ABIA. The results are in the attached photos (hopefully they show my whole photo). The bag fits as a PERSONAL ITEM for American Airlines, Southwest, Delta (no picture), Spirit, and maybe JetBlue. It did NOT fit as personal item but did as a CARRY-ON for Lufthansa and United. NOTE: Delta did not have sizers at the airport, but Delta customer service said it definitely meets Personal Item specifications; Spirit customer service also verified this bag meets their Personal Item standards as well. From what I could tell, JetBlue and Lufthansa both allow for Carry-On and Personal Item, so this bag works on those airlines just not as a personal item. The only airline this bag would not work is Basic Economy Class on United because it only allows one free Personal Item and this bag is too large. Hope this helps someone!

Got this bag to replace the duffel bag that I've used for years as my under the seat carry-on bag because my shoulder couldn't take the strain of carrying and I was looking for something with wheels that fits under the seat -- a tough find! For its size, the bag does hold a lot and is fairly light. The big center pocket can become a bottomless pit, making it hard to find things so make sure to put items you may need in flight in one of the more accessible pockets. Had no issues fitting under the seat on Southwest. Wheels only go forward/back which is a slight minus but it moves ok. Handle is telescopic and tall enough for me, 5'11. The big problem with the handle is that it can be difficult to raise and lower and it sometimes doesn't lock in place and collapses when you are using it. When I purchased, it was on sale for half price which is fair. Probably wouldn't buy at full price.
