CabinMax Easyjet 45x36x20 Underseat Cabin Bag

What matters most

If you’re after a compact, underseat bag that actually fits under the plane seat, the CabinMax Easyjet 45x36x20 is designed with this specific need in mind. It aims to keep your essentials accessible and travel straightforward, rather than forcing you to wrestle with overhead bin space. On paper, it presents a practical balance between size, capacity and lightweight durability, making it a sensible option for short trips or as a bring-on compliment to larger luggage.

Tech specs

This bag is built to the 45x36x20 cm footprint and offers an approximate 30-litre interior. It uses recycled polyester for the outer fabric, which helps with sustainability without sacrificing durability. Notable features include compression straps to secure contents, a bottle holder for drinks on the move, and a rear hidden zipped pocket intended for passport or valuables. A rear trolley strap is provided to assist with manoeuvrability when you’re hopping between rail, air and bus transfers.

What you’ll notice in use

The design is soft-sided, which affords flexibility when packing unusual shapes or last‑minute additions. The interior is organised rather than a straight open bag, with multiple compartments to keep items accessible—handy when you need to grab a passport, phone or boarding pass without rummaging through a messy main compartment. The bag is marketed as compatible with EasyJet’s cabin bag size, which can be a real timesaver if you’re trying to avoid gate-room boarding delays.

Pros

• Underseat dimensions aligned with common budget-airline allowances, potentially reducing the risk of gate-checks.
• Lightweight for frequent travellers who want to travel light and fast.
• Recycled material offers a more environmentally minded option without sacrificing durability.
• Thoughtful touches like a hidden passport pocket and a dedicated bottle holder improve daily usability.

Cons

• Third-party suitability may vary between airlines, if you frequently fly with carriers with stricter cabin-dimensions, you’ll want to double-check compatibility beyond EasyJet.
• The 30-litre capacity, while adequate for a short trip, may feel limited if you pack bulky items or plan longer getaways.
• As a soft-sided cabin bag, it won’t offer heavy rigid protection for fragile items.

Who it’s for

This bag fits travellers who prioritise under-seat convenience, value sustainability, and want straightforward organisation in a lightweight package. It’s a practical choice for quick trips, city breaks or as a dedicated EasyJet cabin option when you want to avoid overhead-bin hassles.

Who it isn’t for

If you routinely check luggage or need more space for longer trips, this bag may feel insufficient. It’s also worth noting that if you travel with items that need rigid protection, a hard‑shell carry-on might suit you better.

When it makes sense to buy

• You want a guaranteed underseat option for EasyJet or similar cabins with the 45x36x20 footprint.
• You value an organised interior and handy extras (passport pocket, bottle holder, trolley strap).
• Sustainability matters and you prefer recycled materials without compromising weight.

When to hold off

• If you expect to carry heavy or bulky gear on every trip, or if you need more packing space for longer travel.
• If your airline’s rules tighten, and you’re not sure the dimensions will consistently apply to your flights.

What to check before buying

• Confirm your usual airline’s cabin-size rules at the time of travel, as small variances can alter whether the bag fits under-seat.
• Consider how you typically pack: will a flexible, soft-sided bag with 30L be enough, or do you regularly fill every corner?
• Look at the warranty coverage (3 years) and the UK-based support, which can be valuable if you encounter any issues on the road.

Practical use example

Imagine you’re heading to a weekend city break and want to breeze through airport security with a compact bag that keeps your essentials neatly arranged. You pack a spare top, toiletries in a clear pouch, a small book, phone charger, and passport in the hidden pocket. With the bottle holder handy for water on the go, you can grab what you need without digging around. When boarding, the rear trolley strap makes a quick slide onto a small hand luggage trolley, reducing faff and keeping your hands free for a coffee before boarding.

Is it worth it?

It makes sense if you prioritise minimal carry-on while keeping things organised and easy to access. If space is your main constraint and you travel light on most trips, this underseat option could be a practical companion. It’s not the best choice if you routinely need more capacity or require rigid protection for delicate items.
