A smart design and roomy interior are why this bag won our Editor’s Choice Award.

$215 at Dagne Dover
  • Dimensions: 16 ½ x 9 x 11 in
  • Weight: 2.9 lbs
  • Material: Neoprene or air mesh

The Dagne Dover Landon blew us away during testing with its extra-roomy interior that allowed for almost a week’s worth of clothes—but was still small enough to fit under the seat on a flight. Whether you're packing for short trips or need a perfectly sized personal item to take with your carry-on bags, the Dagne Dover Landon is an excellent choice.

The neoprene exterior makes it easy to clean, internal mesh pockets keep everything organized while still visible, and a small outer slip pocket is perfect for immediately accessing your phone or ID. We also love that the Landon can compress for short travels or expand for longer trips.

If you’ve already fallen for the trendy design of Lululemon’s popular fanny pack, you’ll love the Go Getter weekender bag. Made from a similar water-repellant fabric with a complementary sporty design, the two make the ultimate on-the-go pair.

This lightweight duffle fits easily under an airline seat, yet is still roomy enough to fit a full weekend’s worth of clothes. The internal mesh pockets and a zippered compartment keep personal items organized and secure, while a hidden trolley strap adds to its portability. A bonus this bag has that others don’t? It folds up flat to be compact when not in use.

  • Dimensions: 13 ¾ × 19 ¼ × 7 ½ in
  • Weight: 1.6 lbs

Perfect for floating away for the weekend or longer. The Baggu Cloud Carry-On has all the bells and whistles we like, like a trolley sleeve and a carry-away pouch that attaches on the inside. Our favorite feature, however, is that the bag folds down flat and into its own storage pocket for a compact way to stow it away between uses.

16. Lo & Sons Catalina Deluxe

The best weekender for 4-day travel

The extra deep internal pockets allow for bigger bottles of your best toiletries, and the bottom portion comes in handy for storing shoes, a jacket, and your cosmetic case. The bag comes in two sizes. We recommend the small as an airline personal item—but if you plan to mainly use this bag for getaways by car, train, or even boat, we recommend the larger.

18. Vera Bradley Performance Twill Grand Weekender Travel Bag

The best weekender for cozy getaways

Product image of Vera Bradley Performance Twill Weekender
Vera Bradley Performance Twill Weekender

The performance twill makes this bag weather-resistant and lightweight.

Starting at $79 at Amazon
  • Dimensions: 7 ½ x 18 ½ x 12 ½ in
  • Weight: 2 lbs
  • Material: Performance twill
  • Color options: 20

We all recall the floral fabrics of Vera Bradley bags from the 90s and early aughts—the bags had a terrific design but the prints weren’t for everyone. This Vera Bradley bag has gotten an upgrade with some on-trend colorways—it still comes in the trademark quilted fabric but now, with performance twill, it’s decidedly edgier.

There’s a reason the style of this bag has been so enduring and that has to do with multiple mesh pockets on the inside and well-sized pockets on the outside.

20. Bluboon Women’s Weekender Bag

We love the bottom rivets that keep this bag clean when it’s resting on airport floors.

$35 at Amazon

  • Weight: 1.6 lbs
  • Material: Polyester and faux leather
  • Color options: 14

This Amazon weekender bag will meet all of your requirements at an unbeatable price. While the fabric is a bit thinner than others and the features are straightforward, the size is perfect for both domestic and international travel.

Like most of our recs, this bag has a trolley sleeve. This trolley sleeve, however, does double duty as an extra-large and easy-to-reach exterior zip pocket. The flexible siding makes it easy to slide it right under the seat, while bottom rivets keep it clean when set on airport floors.
