Travelling with the CabinMax VELA 24L

On my recent week trip to Spain, I decided to travel using this CabinMax Vela holdall. I packed all my essentials and even had room for any of Isaac's things he wanted on hand for the journey, allowing me easy access to make sure he had all he needed on hand. I packed a small toiletry bag, my laptop, our Nintendo Switches, with room to spare for snacks and all of our chargers, along with Isaac's essentials and toys to keep him occupied on the flight. The reinforced handles were comfortable to carry, and when I needed my hands free for Isaac's hand and our boarding passes, the detachable shoulder strap was a lifesaver.

I particularly loved how easily it slid under the seat in front of me on the plane, keeping everything accessible without the hassle of wrestling with the overhead bin. The interior pockets made it simple to keep Isaac and my passports and also my phone handy, which saved me rummaging around in the middle of the journey.
