The Best Weekender Bags
Hey friends! Now that travel is back again, I thought this post could use a little update! I was always a rolling carry-on gal no matter how short the trip was… but then all of the airlines changed everything. I’m such a budget traveler, that the idea of spending an extra $75-$100+ on a ticket just so I can bring a rolling bag for quick weekend trips seemed so silly. So I ordered the Beis weekender bag in hopes that I could become a more strategic packer for those super quick getaways. Plus it’s nice to have something to pack in if I’m just spending a night at my parents or we’re getting away for a cozy weekend in Wisconsin.
My Beis Weekender Bag Review
After purchasing this Beis weekender bag, I used it for so many trips before the pandemic hit. For a weekender bag, it’s incredibly roomy. The bottom compartment is meant for shoes, but it’s a great place to put your neatly folded clothes, too (as long as you don’t get it dirty with your shoes!). The main compartment is much bigger than the bottom, and can fit more clothes, your toiletries and makeup, and it even has a laptop sleeve.
A few downsides are that it’s a big bag – so if you want to push it under the seat in front of you, you can’t pack it to the brim. The canvas also isn’t as sleek as some other weekenders I’ve seen… but you also get what you pay for. This one is only $98 (they just raised it from $88) whereas a more professional looking leather bag will likely be more than that. This is perfect for my needs at this point in my life. But it just depends on what you’re going to be using it for!
If you’re looking for something casual and roomy, I give mine a big thumbs up. I’m so happy with the purchase, and really impressed that it’s held up for multiple years now. I highly recommend!!

Ughhh United is literally the WORST for charging you so much extra to put a bag in the overhead bin! I try to avoid them now because they are evil haha. I think these are really good options though for those scenarios when the cheapest flight is one where you can’t bring an overhead bin bag! Thanks for the ideas 🙂 I always prefer a rolling bag because it kills my back to have to carry something over my shoulder, but I guess sometimes you need to save the money!

I’ve never had a Lo & Sons bag, but I know a lot of people who have one and love it!
