Holiday travel is upon us and we can’t wait! Whether you’re heading somewhere domestically or internationally, a weekender bag is an absolute must-have for any sort of flyer.

For one thing, they’re versatile. If you’re travelling budget, a weekender bag is a quick and easy carry-on and can be stowed easily under most airplane seats. If you’re travelling on a full-cost carrier, you can check the bag in, too, or it can qualify as a personal item. Either way, win-win for you.

However, unlike regular bags, weekenders bags have certain criteria they need to fill in order to qualify them worthy of being purchased.
