This bag seems more durable than most in this style and price range. The seams on the inside of the bag are reinforced so I think that it will withstand light use. The quilted material and pattern are beautiful. Please note that this model does not come with a shoulder strap. I think I will enjoy using this bag!

These bags work great if you pack them well as your "personal bag" item and want to save on luggage!

From a horrible and previous experience with Frontier, we got charged $99 for a bag that works all the time with Spirit airlines and the bags are exactly the dimensions they ask which makes no sense. Our family found a great deal for a round trip on Frontier costing $150 for a family of 5, so we decided to try again but get different bags. After my research, I saw this bag come up and figured it was worth a shot at a great price.

First off, Frontiers bag measuring bin is smaller than Spirits and what I have seen is if the bag doesn't slide in unassisted, you will get charged. You can't push the bag in. We found this to be the case when we had issues with Frontier before. We thankfully had no issues with these bags heading to our destination and coming home. With these bags, the key is to packing so all items fit in the bag and it doesn't become wide and bulky. Keep it a close as possible to the actual structure of the bag. It is possible!

Each of my kids plus myself had their own bag. I was able to pack for a whole week for each person plus an extra pair of shoes for each kid and electronics. When all packed, these slid in easily and fit in well. I recommend to not stick anything in the side pocket when boarding because again makes it wider and can cause resistance sliding in the bin.

I personally checked them at a Frontier terminal that was empty when we first got in the airport. I recommend, don't draw attention to yourself and do it at a busy terminal with attendants watching you before getting ready to board. I had to adjust a few of the bags and I was good to go. They also slid onto my husbands suit case bars good also which helped carting the bags with the kids.

If you have issues and they see, they probably will keep eyes on you or tell you to pay a fee.

But these bags didn't even get checked when we were boarding, and we walked on both of our flights! It may have been extreme favor and thankfully didn't have issues with the workers giving anyone a hard time.

When I was checking the bags earlier, I also found that if I flipped the bag upside down so the zipper and handles are at the bottom of the bin, they slid in even easier so if the airline was being petty and saw any straps hanging out it would avoid that argument the "bag isn't fitting".

Hope this helps a mom or another person have some peace about these bags! They work for Frontier and again will definitely work for Spirit as a personal item bag if you go that route.

The media could not be loaded. This bag is exactly the size you need for a Spirit or Frontier carry-on, I use them all the time on both airlines, and they hold a ton of stuff. Just don't overpack them to much, because Frontier's box is actually smaller than the one used at Spirit, and they love to catch you with an oversized bag.

One of the bags did Rip on about the third use, but it was because my son was carrying it by one handle. I was able to sew it back up when we got home, and it has not ripped again despite several uses.

Additionally the straps are a little bit uncomfortable to carry when the bag is very heavy, but you can put something over your arm to cushion.

They fit perfectly in the large lockers at Disney World too. So if you are ever down there, and flying out from the park without going back to your room, these bags will stow in the locker for the day, and then you can just grab your rideshare from the park to MCO!

I needed a slightly smaller bag for a flight. This fit the bill perfectly. Simple bag, reasonable construction, affordable price.

Bought these for a family trip. Each of us packed for a 4 day trip and were able to take along everything we needed. Recommended by the airlines and worked great for us as a carry on, which meant no trudging to the baggage claim. Sturdy bag and straps, nice colors. I'm sure they will get plenty of use!
