As someone who travels a lot (no, don't think of me as some rich brat constantly on the move, I move cities), I have had my fair share of facing an airport weighing machine eye-to-eye and silently praying I don't have to pay for the extra baggage. Then enters the annoyingly familiar people who bring their entire farm in their cabin bags (like how?). Being an over-packer, I know the problem might be me, but if only my carry-on bag was a little more spacious, things wouldn't be so intense for me at the airport. So after years of facing this problem I asked 8 cabin crew members their carry-on bag secrets to save myself of the same trauma again and again. If you're some one with a similar problem or even if who just went 'can't relate' (sus behaviour), either way, this guide to the best carry-on luggage brands recommendations by these flying experts is something you didn't know you needed.
8 Cabin Crew Members Recommend The Best Carry-On Luggage To Cop
Here's A List Of Best Carry-On Luggage Brands Recommended By Cabin Crew
Samsonite Myton Spinner 55 20

"Samsonite's luggage would be my recommendation, be it for cabin bags or check-in bags. They can survive anything, from rough tumbles to harsh turbulence. Their cabin Myton bag is super sleek and small, compact for a stress-free flight. If your trip is short, you can fit your entire trip luggage in just this cabin bag and roll into the security line without waiting to check in the bag. It has full-size expanders and side dividers, so you can even pack for you and your kid together."
- Harshita, Air India
Decathlon Duffle Bag

"Even before I took to the skies, I have always counted on Decathlon's bags to back me on any trip. Their duffle collection has all the makings of packing perfection. From two side zips, deep enough to fit all your necessary travel accessories like chargers, socks, cotton, sneakers, to its middle, a bigger storage space that can fit your laptop, speakers, and even some of your clothes with ease, it understands fuss-free packing like no other."
- Simantika, SpiceJet
Skybags Casper Duffle Trolley 57


"Huge Skybags advocate here! From backpacks to suitcases, they are super durable and always deliver on quality. I depend on their Casper Duffle Trolley and would recommend that. It is a two-stage push-button trolley that also comes with a quick access pocket to store your documents and chargers. It can also be slung across your shoulder with its adjustable shoulder straps and has spacious compartments to store all your travel essentials, from spare clothes to electronic devices."
- Shikhar, Air India
Modern Myth Trunk


"I love Modern Myth's entire luggage range, from their suitcases to their trunks. Their trunks give me all the makings of a vintage travel, with their buckles open and space devoid of dividers or pockets. It is perfect for last-minute packers who can just dump all last-minute essentials into the trunk. However, space can be a constraint, and I would recommend it only for short trips or for just your basic travel essentials. It also looks extremely aesthetic, perfect for all your 'camera travels first,' moments."
- Diya, AirAsia
Mokobara's Em Cabin Pro

"The Mokobara bags, for sure! Their Em Cabin Pro is amazing, stylish, and strong. These bags are made to be used by travellers who prefer a fuss-free flight. They are travel-friendly, easy to carry, and come with so many other features like a TSA lock, Japanese Hinomoto wheels, and a polycarbonate hard shell, which helps to make your journey smooth and hassle-free."
- Kanika Rana, Jazeera Airways
The Clownfish Magnum 34 liters Faux Leather Travel Duffle Bag

"I recommend the Clownfish travel duffle bag, they are super stylish and practical as a carry-on bag. I have even seen so many passengers carry it. I love it for its durability and functional design. It comes with two compartments and many small pockets to throw in your tiny essentials like keys. You can also take your toiletries in them as it is made of leatherette and is easy to clean, if at all, they spill. It is also collapsible, so you can easily stow it away when not in use."
- Karan, Spice Jet
Nasher Miles Springfield

"I love Nasher Miles collection. They are a traveler's dream, and their Springfield suitcases are super sleek, with a lot of space and pockets, to help you travel stress-free. They have a polypropylene shell, so it can handle a lot of throws, flips, turns, and even double up as a check-in bag, if you are traveling for 2-3 days, so you don't have to worry."
- Harshal, IndiGo
Mokobara The Cabin Pro

"I would recommend Mokobara Cabin Pro as it is lightweight, unbreakable, and super sleek. It has an easy-access front pocket for your laptop (up to 15.4”), passport, iPad, and slim power bank—perfect for all your travel essentials (just skip the bulky charger). Charge your phone on the go, glide through airports with silent Japanese wheels, and wipe off scuffs with the included magic eraser. Comes with a TSA-approved lock, a dust cover, and a laundry bag, too."
