Here are the best 5 carry-on bags. I am on the search for a new carry-on that I can fit under my seat. I want it to be organized and easy to carry. The bag I currently have is from Target from a while ago. What I like about it is that you can throw stuff in it and it fits a good amount. What I don’t like is that it is uncomfortable to carry through the airport. Another issue is that if I try to put it on my luggage, it keeps falling off. It can also be challenging to get under the seat, especially when sitting in a middle or window seat. I would still use this for weekend trips. Here is a link to a similar bag (has an easy-to-put-on suitcase).

My second choice is

The Patagonia backpack, I really like this one. Thought it might be too large for some airlines as a personal item. It does not have a place for a water bottle. I think I would just clip mine on.
