For as long as I’ve been traveling, a good backpack has always been my go-to item for flights. They slide easily under the seats, leave your hands free to grab luggage and a coffee, and can hold a surprising amount of essentials if you pack right (or even use packing cubes). However, after 10 long years of commitment to my current backpack, the wear and tear is starting to show, so I decided it was finally time to start looking for a new one.
After searching online for the best backpacks, I was happy to find the highly rated Gootium Thick Canvas Backpack on sale for just $43. With some functional pockets and a comfortable fit, it’s an Amazon deal I plan to purchase to improve my travel experience as the year closes.
