With so many carry on cabin cases available we here at Boros Bags thought we'd put together our magnificent 7. Each one is a hero for a different reason. We feel its important to buy right and get the right product fit for purpose to save you time, hassle and money.
All of our shortlisted cabin cases are soft sided. They also have TSA locks built in so you will have a hassle free journey wherever you go. (If you fly to the USA the Transport Security Administration (TSA) has a master key for these locks, meaning security staff can open your bag without damaging it).
At the time of this blog the 45cm Cabin cases meet EasyJet and British Airways cabin luggage allowances. The 55cm Cabin cases meet with the British Airways cabin luggage allowance. We recommend before you shop for a cabin case that you check the latest allowance rules for your booking & airline.
If you have any questions or queries with regards to cabin luggage give us a call or drop us an email at info@borosbags.com and we will be happy to assist.
So without further ado lets get into this magnificent journey.
