What is your preferred piece of hand luggage?

Do you prefer the traditional flight bag, a small cabin case or a type of shopping bag - or indeed anything else? I have a biggish bag from Primark which I use, as it's big enough to keep all my bits & bobs for the flight, plus I can fit my handbag in there. Hubby likes the traditional across body flight bag. I know my BIL prefers to use a rucksack.

Re: What is your prefered piece of hand luggage?

I use a large handbag. It has to be big enough for all my junk (ie make up and books) plus money, tickets and passports. Hubby has a flight bag that I shove the camera, the phone chargers (carry these as hand luggage because I would be stuck if they got lost) and daughter's ds in plus any other rubbish and last year daughter had a small wheeled case for all her bits to keep her amused during the journey. The case broke last year (it was only a cheap thing with "dora" on it which she has outgrown now anyway

) so I have purchased a small rucksack for her for this year which ive no doubt I will end up carrying :roll:

.

Ive found the larger the bag, the more I take which is why I stick to a handbag and then everything else has to go in the hold (or boot as daughter calls it

I have a Nike rucksack that I use everyday for work but it does double duty as my hand luggage. It has plenty of pockets and palces to stuff all the stuff I need for travel with the advantage it can go on my back leaving two hands free.

we are often dictated to by the fact that Rob's hand luggage is the reg's..so they are in a special case. I prefer a rucksack for all the bits of junk I seem to accumulate!

Re: What is your prefered piece of hand luggage?

I use a rucksack as well as a coat with about 6 pockets. This is fine as long as my wife remembers where I put the passports (my memory crashed years ago). We do quite a lot of walking on holiday so the rucksack is used every day.

I have a kipling bag which is great because it has lots of compartments in it

I quite fancy a smart bag I have seen in River Island which even has wheels on :think

I used a baby changing bag for a long time as it has lots of sections in but last year I got a nice new travel bag, which is a bit smaller.

Mrs Hi De Hi has a large rucksack that has wheels and a telescopic handle for pulling. We bought it last year from a Thrift shop in Chicago when we found we needed extra luggage to carry home the stuff we had bought. It was bargain and cost $7. As a bonus the previous owner had left inside several pens, an eraser and a couple of pencils!
