Slim Backpacks

The Travelpro® x Travel + Leisure® Slim Backpack (16 x 12 x 6 in., 2 lb) is the lightest here, and the Platinum® Elite Slim Laptop Backpack 16L (16 x 12 x 6 in., 2.2 lb) shares the same footprint. The Crew™ Executive Choice™ 3 Slim Laptop Backpack (17.25 x 12 x 6.75 in., 2.1 lb) is a little taller, and the Altitude™ Slim Expandable Laptop Backpack 20-24L (16 x 11 x 7.75 in., 3 lb) expands when you need extra room.

A personal item is a bag small enough to fit under the seat in front of you, such as a tote, laptop bag or backpack, and it travels in addition to your carry-on. Personal-item limits vary by airline, and a common international limit is 18 x 14 x 8 in. Compare each bag's overall dimensions with your airline's rules in our carry-on size guide by airline.

A slim backpack sits closer to your back and takes up less room under the seat or on a crowded train. It suits documents, a tablet or laptop and a few daily essentials, while larger backpacks suit overnight trips. If you need more space now and then, the Altitude™ Slim Expandable Laptop Backpack 20-24L expands when you need it.

Mix equal parts alcohol and water and apply it with a soft cloth, gently rubbing the mark until it is no longer visible. Let the bag air dry completely before you store it. You can find more care tips in our customer FAQ.
