The flight, accommodation, excursions… Planning a trip takes time and, above all, money. That is why we are always looking for ways not to spend more than we would like, starting with luggage: traveling only with a backpack or cabin suitcase remains the most affordable option and, therefore, the most desired by travelers.

This is where the game of trying to fit your belongings into the dimensions set by the airlines begins, something that is not always easy. That is why, from EL PAÍS Escaparate, we have selected 10 products that will help you carry everything without having to check an additional suitcase.
Cabin backpack
Special attention must be paid to the choice of backpack, as you cannot exceed even a single centimeter to be able to carry it in the cabin. This model, a bestseller in e-commerce, has dimensions of 40 x 20 x 30 centimeters, as well as other features that make it a good travel companion. Available in six colors, this backpack has two large compartments to organize clothes, footwear, and electronic devices. It also has several pockets for other travel accessories, one of which is intended to separate clean clothes from dirty ones.
Compression bags
They are practical at home, but also to gain a few centimeters in luggage. This set contains 10 units in two different sizes: they are sturdy pieces with a double zipper closure. Unlike other bags, they do not require an air pump to seal them vacuum; it is enough to roll them onto themselves to expel the air and reduce their size. “Perfect for traveling and taking up little space in the suitcase,” says a user.
Digital scale
The best way to check that you are not overweight is with a gadget like this, a must-have on any trip. It is, in fact, one of the highest-rated on Amazon, where it has more than 13,000 reviews. This model, besides having a compact design to carry it in a backpack pocket, offers precise measurements and is quite intuitive to use. Another plus is that it has a zero return function, so when you finish using it, the recorded measurements will be automatically erased.

Luggage organizers
The key to carrying more garments is good organization. If you are not skilled at folding clothes, this set of organizers can be a great ally to prepare the suitcase or travel backpack, making better use of space. It includes eight pieces, all made with waterproof and breathable fabric: four cubes of different sizes, a shoe bag, a toiletry bag, a dirty clothes bag, and a case. “I bought them for my son’s first solo trip, so he could organize well for unpacking and packing the suitcase, and they work great,” says a user.
Foldable bottle
While it is true that we all have our trusted bottle, it never hurts to have one just for traveling. This option we found in e-commerce has a carabiner to hang it on the backpack and easily access water, but it can also be folded when not in use. It is one of those items you don’t know you need until you know them: “Very useful when traveling by plane. Compact and empty to pass security and ready to fill afterward,” recommends one of the buyers. It is made of silicone and has a capacity of 750 milliliters. As for its spout, it is designed leak-proof so that not a drop spills.
Refillable travel pillow
When you have a trip of several days, the cabin backpack may fall short when carrying the outfits you had planned. In this context, a refillable pillow can be a practical solution. It not only provides the necessary comfort to rest during the flight but also allows you to store clothes you couldn’t fit in the luggage. It is made with plush, a very pleasant material to the touch, and includes a sleep mask and silicone earplugs.
Foldable bag
Something that cannot be missing is accessories. Earrings, rings, and necklaces can be placed in the toiletry bag, but bags are more complicated. Due to their size, they often end up staying at home because they take up space in the suitcase that we can allocate to other items. But for those who do not want to give them up, there are foldable models like this one: with a design inspired by Longchamp, it has a simple and elegant finish to match any outfit. It is waterproof, lightweight, easy to clean, and has enough capacity to even carry a tablet. To store it in the cabin backpack, just fold it.

Travel bottle kit
When it comes to packing, the first thing that comes to mind is bottles to carry shampoo, shower gel, body cream, perfume… And these small containers are a travel essential. This set, which has an average of 4.4 stars out of 5, includes bottles in different formats, jars, and small tools to pour products. All of this comes in a transparent bag, which makes it easier to place in the suitcase. “Comfortable, practical, and well designed, it is ideal for those who travel frequently or want to organize their products neatly,” says a buyer.
Microfiber towel
Cotton towels, while comforting after a shower, are too bulky. The alternative is microfiber models, whether for the face or body. That is why this towel is one of the top sellers on Amazon, as it is lightweight and compact when folded or rolled. It also dries quickly and has great absorption capacity. “Great to take everywhere,” says a user on the e-commerce site.
Hanging toiletry bag
Very helpful in the suitcase, but also upon arrival at the destination. This toiletry bag has several compartments to organize hygiene products, body and facial care, and makeup, but what makes it stand out is the structure of its design. This product unfolds to be hung, with its stainless steel hook, in the bathroom and easily access its pockets. It is made with Oxford fabric, so it is a water-resistant piece.
