Review: Great bag, does everything I needed it to. - I’ve used this backpack for travel and was honestly impressed with how much it holds. I was able to pack a surprising amount of stuff into it without it feeling awkward or overstuffed. The layout makes it easy to organize everything, and the laptop compartment keeps things separated instead of all mashed together. I kept finding new pockets as I used it. What I liked most is that it doesn’t feel cheap. The fabric is sturdy, the zippers feel solid, and nothing about it gives off that flimsy budget-bag vibe. It held up well being stuffed full and carried through airports, and I never felt like I had to baby it. It’s comfortable to wear, works well as a carry-on, and just does its job without trying to be fancy. If you need a backpack that can haul a lot and still feels well-made, this one exceeded my expectations for the price.
Review: Great First Travel Backpack - I purchased the desertcart Basics Travel Backpack for my trips, and as a first-time travel backpack user, I’m really pleased with it. This backpack is surprisingly spacious, easily fitting clothes, essentials, and even a dedicated padded compartment for my laptop, which keeps it secure. The quality feels solid—no rips, loose threads, or zipper issues after multiple trips, which is reassuring for the price. The padded straps are a standout feature; they’re comfortable even when the bag is fully loaded, making long walks through airports or cities much easier. I don’t have other travel backpacks to compare it to, but this one checks all the boxes for functionality and durability so far. My only minor gripe is that I wish it had a few more organizational pockets for smaller items, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Overall, for the price and performance, I’d highly recommend the desertcart Basics Travel Backpack to anyone looking for a reliable, no-frills option for travel. It’s been a great companion on my journeys!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this bag adhere to flybe carry on requirements?**
A: My wife and I just returned from a trip to Europe where we flew Norwegian, RyanAir, and Flybe. I used a different bag, while she used this AmazonBasics bag. None of the airlines measured our backpacks and we were able to carry on for all of our flights. Flybe was the tightest in terms of getting the bag in the overhead bin, but it did indeed fit. Just don't over pack, and you will be fine. For Norwegian and RyanAir, we had zero issues getting the bags in the overhead bins.

**Q: Can this handle rigorous packing? I tend to pack a lot into little spaces, but don't want something that can't handle it and will rip at the seams.**
A: It is a nice back pack with neat features.  But, it is a $40 backpack.  I would consider it a medium duty travel pack, and would not recommend repeated over loading.  I have a $300 Gregory pack constructed with rip stop material and zippers that are double the size of the ones on this pack.  With that said it is a great backpack for the money!

**Q: What is the capacity in liters so that I could compare to other bags?**
A: I'd agree with AL's 50L.  I have both this and the Hynes Eagle 40L, and this easily has 25% greater capacity than the Hynes.  Fully expanded, it's comparable to a domestic-sized roll-aboard suitcase.

**Q: What are the dimensions?**
A: 22"H x 17"W x 6"D (or 8"D when expanded).  These are approximate, as it is a soft side--you could probably get it out to 9" or more depth if you really packed it in there and put the zippers to work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AmazonBasics TSA-approved carry on Backpack: MUST BUY!
*by C***Y on April 12, 2018*

After YEARS of trying to find the perfect travel bag, this one has taken the #1 position in my arsenal. Typically I would use my duffle bag that has wheels and carry handle, but time and many travels have begin wearing that bag down. In preparation for my trip with a 2 year old in tow, I needed something easy and hands free. After reviewing EVERY option on Amazon, it was down to 3 different backpacks. Having not traveled airlines in 3-4 years, rules and regulations change often and I was pleased to see this backpack AmazonBasics Carry-On Travel Backpack, Black has all of the up-to date regulations required. Going down the list of things I needed in a travel bag: TSA Carry on size capable. Plenty of pockets and storage for little things Expandable main compartment Laptop/Tablet storage Sturdy straps/Handles Lightweight (Depending on what I pack inside) When I received this bag, I was extremely pleased to see the quality in the build! for a 50$ bag this has EVERYTHING Comparing this bag to the other bags on amazon. I was also looking at a very large price difference ranging from 129$ to 229$. Being budget minded, I opted to try this risk free due to Amazon's return policies. (Love you guys!), again, let me say this: This bag is IMPRESSIVE. It EASILY fit my very large and bulky Dell Precision M6800 (Normal 17" laptop bags are not actually a TRUE 17" laptop bag), over a weeks worth of clothes (Carefully packed of course), along with cables, chargers, and a few personal items. The few things I wish this bag had are listed below (Hint Hint Amazon!): A brighter color interior (Amazon Orange would have been nice!) instead of the gray insides. More "clip" locations for carabiners or water bottle storage of sorts, recommendations would be a plastic clip or two at the top or bottom corners of the bag, or a clip location on the front corner of the bag, or sewn band straps on the front or bottom corners of the bag for clips. A hardened/reinforced bottom on the backpack. *See explanation below * When using this bag as a backpack, i opted to have the bag sit upright. Having a reinforced or hardened bottom side on the backpack would increase the durability of the backpack quite a lot especially with lots of use. When using in suitcase style, this would need a reinforced back padding or bumper of sorts. Overall, I have and will continue to recommend this bag in the distance future. Opting for the choices of other bags, this bag was extremely comfortable to wear, and carry (I am 6'3", and 215lbs).
