Travel + Leisure / Reese Herrington

There are a seemingly endless number of travel hacks that you could employ to elevate your experience in the sky, but there’s one that reigns supreme: bringing along a backpack as your personal item. Not only is this a simple way to keep your hands free for snacks, coffee, and other essentials, but it’s also an excellent tool for avoiding checking a bag while still bringing along everything you might need for your trip.

It’s no small feat finding the backpack of your dreams, which is where we come in. Below, we’ve rounded up the 10 long-haul flight-worthy bags to pack up this season, and with prices starting at just $22, you’ll have no trouble sticking to your budget. From extra large packs for major overpackers to an expandable hiking bag , you may never need to check a bag again with the help of these reliable totes.

Vgcub Large Travel Backpack

Large enough to comfortably hold your travel essentials, electronics, and even a pair of shoes, this convenient 40-liter capacity backpack is an excellent option for a work trip where you’re traveling with just a personal item and a simple rolling carry-on. A built-in charging port is compatible with a wide range of portable power banks to keep your devices online while you’re on the go, and several thoughtfully placed pockets allow for impressive organization so you can easily access your items in-flight. Best of all, it’s on sale for 35 percent off right now. 

Matein Travel Laptop Backpack

This Amazon best-seller has long been lauded as the perfect travel backpack , and right now, shoppers can score the roomy and comfortable bag for a staggering 45 percent off as we head into spring. A durable, water-resistant exterior can be relied upon to keep your belongings safe while traveling in even the worst weather, while a spacious interior is equipped to hold a change of clothes, your laptop, and more. Not to mention that an anti-theft pocket at the back of the bag is exactly the place you’ll want to store your passport and ID, so you can adventure with peace of mind that your belongings are safely stored away at all times.

Lovevook Laptop Backpack

Seeking a stylish bag that still keeps you well-prepared for your travels? Look no further than this sleek tote from Lovevook that boasts all the features of a great backpack while still elevating your outfit on the go. The large backpack is available in 20 stunning colors and patterns that add a touch of personality to your travels, and a cushioned laptop compartment within the primary pocket ensures that this bag is great for everyday use as well. Plus, it’s even fitted with a convenient luggage strap, allowing it to slide over your rolling suitcase handle with ease.

Samsonite Xenon 3.0 Checkpoint Friendly Backpack

Samsonite is one of the top brands in luggage, so it only stands to reason that its backpacks would be just as valuable for air travel. Currently sitting at just $76 thanks to an on-site coupon, this large TSA-approved backpack is an excellent tool for avoiding checked bag fees while staying organized throughout your adventures. The lightweight design sits at just under 3 pounds so you don’t have to worry about your bag weighing you down as you rush through the airport; plus, a breathable back panel offers support and airflow during even the warmest days.

Matein Carry-on Backpack

It’s not every day that you find a backpack that opens like a suitcase, but for known overpackers this can be a major asset for making the most of your luggage space. This lightweight, 40-liter backpack even made Travel + Leisure editors’ list of best carry-on backpacks they tested. Why? It’s well-equipped with pockets and an expandable design that’s still compatible to fit underneath the seats of most airlines, while built-in straps inside of the bag ensure that your clothing remains neatly folded and kept in place during transit. An additional interior mesh pocket allows you to store other items that you might need to access at a moment’s notice, and the bag is even available in sizes L through 2XL to best fit your packing needs.

Vecave Carry-on Backpack

An Amazon’s Choice option, this handy carry-on bag that’s strikingly similar to a flight attendant-favorite is sure to become your go-to for longer trips and warmer weather vacations thanks to the built-in wet bag that’s practically made for bathing suits and dirty laundry alike. A separate laptop compartment keeps your electronics safe and padded from being jostled around while flying, while the primary pocket fully unzips like a suitcase so you can pack every corner to the brim without being forced to check a duffel. To top it all off, it’s even complete with a unique shoe compartment and a vent at the base, so your belongings never become stuffy — no matter how long they’re packed away. 

SwissGear 1900 Scansmart TSA Backpack

After earning nearly 20,000 five-star ratings at Amazon, you can rest assured that this durable, spacious, and reliable backpack will be a major asset to add to your travels — and right now it’s available for $86 at Amazon (and will surely last for years to come). Created with a TSA-approved design, this bag boasts a large primary pocket alongside a laptop pouch and a padded back that come together to make for comfortable travel during trips of any duration. The zippered front pocket is ideal for storing your phone, wallet, and other items that you might need to grab quickly, and it’s even thoughtfully built with an RFID-blocking compartment to keep your cards safe. And yes, it flattens out to stuff under your airplane seat, even when packed to the brim.

Yorepek Travel Backpack

For a limited time, this airline-approved 50-liter backpack is on sale at Amazon for a mere $26, so if you’re tired of toting around a shoulder bag as your personal item, this is your sign to upgrade. Padding at the back of the bag keeps you comfortable and supported even when you’ve packed your backpack to maximum capacity, and seeing as the primary pocket opens wide, you’ll have no trouble adding everything from shoes to a book, or even a spare outfit without needing to cut back due to a lack of space. To top it all off, it’s TSA-approved.

Keofid Classic Carry-on Travel Backpack

Tech-savvy travelers will be thrilled to find that this backpack is designed with their devices in mind, as it’s complete with a handy USB charging port that easily connects to your portable power banks for safe and efficient charging without relying on airport ports. Durable zippers and a top-carry handle alongside a simple luggage strap make it easy to navigate through the airport while giving your back a rest, but when it is time to put your bag back on, a breathable and padded exterior injects much-needed comfort. Did we mention that it’s on sale for just $23?

Lapsuono Extra Large Backpack

Put simply, this backpack is not designed with minimalist travelers in mind, but rather for people who prefer to bring all of their prized possessions along with them during their journeys. With an extra-large capacity (18.3 inches by 13 inches by 11 inches) that opens like a clamshell for the utmost packing space, this backpack is about to become your favorite hack for avoiding checked bag fees without skimping on your outfit options. It’s well-suited to fit your laptop, clothing, shoes, and more, and it even features a handy glasses strap alongside an anti-theft back pocket that was created with your passport in mind. And at nearly 50 percent off, this backpack is practically a steal for just $26 at Amazon.

Semsty Expandable Hiking Backpack

Hiking vacations are surely in the cards for the coming months, so you should be prepared with a backpack that can carry you from the airport to the trails with ease. Enter: the Semsty Expandable Hiking Backpack which is designed for active travelers, and is currently sitting at a budget-friendly $26 at Amazon. The 50-liter capacity is qualified to handle your camping gear and spare clothes with room to spare, while the ergonomic design remains slim and well-suited for airline travel.

The Best Cleaning and Organizing Deals From Amazon’s Big Spring Sale

Spring has sprung—which means it’s time to crack your windows, soak up some sunshine, and maybe, just maybe, tackle a few spring-cleaning projects.

Wirecutter journalists think about cleaning and organizing year-round, recommending all the best tools and methods that leave your space feeling fresh. The only thing better than having cleaning supplies that get the job done is stocking up on them at a discount.

We’ve rounded up the best deals on some of our favorite cleaning and organizing supplies below.

A sleek shoe rack

Yamazaki Home Tower Shoe Rack — Upgrade Pick Amazon deal price: $94 ; street price: $115

The durable, investment-worthy Yamazaki Home Tower Shoe Rack  is stylishly sleek enough to display in your entryway and slim enough to tuck away in a closet if you’d rather keep your kicks out of sight. It can store up to 24 pairs of adult-size shoes on its five shelves (plus the space on the floor underneath). The top of the rack can also double as an entryway shelf, and the tower includes two hooks on the side for hanging keys or an umbrella. The shoe rack is currently on sale only in white.

A vacuum that doesn’t suck

Roborock Q5+ Robot Vacuum — Our Pick Roborock deal price: $370 ; street price: $550

A self-emptying robot vacuum allows you to tackle other chores while it goes around your house sucking up debris and dirt. Compared with other robot vacuums we tested, our top pick, the Roborock Q5+ Robot Vacuum , offers better battery life, app navigation, mapping, and voice-command response. It’s excellent at cleaning hard floors and low- to medium-pile carpet. Like nearly all of its competition, it struggled to pick up debris near thresholds and baseboards in our tests. The Roborock Q5+ comes with a charging station that empties debris into a disposable bag. Use the code ROBOROCKS for the deal price.

A high-security shredder

Amazon Basics 8-Sheet High-Security Micro-Cut Shredder with Pullout Basket — Top Pick Amazon deal price: $62 ; street price: $69

Mail and documents with personal information can pile up quickly, and it can be easy to let them just lie around if you’re not sure how to securely dispose of them. Opting for a high-security shredder—such as our top pick, the Amazon Basics 8-Sheet High-Security Micro-Cut Shredder with Pullout Basket —can help you micro-cut documents with ease. It can run jam-free for nearly 10 minutes without overheating, and it includes a separate CD/DVD shredding slot. This shredder is slightly larger than other eight-sheet shredders with lift-up tops, but its functionality is worth the extra space it occupies.

A lopper for too-big branches

Fiskars 28″ Power-Lever Bypass Lopper — Also Great Target deal price: $20 ; street price: $23

Spring is the perfect time to give your outdoor spaces some love. If you have branches that need pruning, the Fiskars 28″ Power-Lever Bypass Lopper may be able to help you tackle those that are too big for your average pruners. It works more quickly than a saw, and it’s long enough to prune harder-to-reach branches just as easily as the low-hanging ones.

A secure lockbox

Barska Compact Medication Lock Box — Upcoming Pick Amazon deal price: $41 ; street price: $51

If you’re reorganizing your medicine cabinet, it might be a good time to also invest in a lockable box to keep prescriptions and other medications safe from the little ones in your home. The Barska Compact Medication Lock Box is a wall-mounted metal lockbox that we’ll be recommending in our upcoming guide to keeping your stash—whether it’s marijuana or something else—secure. This mountable lockbox can accommodate pill bottles of all sizes and heights, along with other first-aid resources. It can also sit on a countertop, though we know that its stark-white metal style isn’t for everyone. Make sure to clip the on-page coupon for the deal price.

A quick fashion fix

Homeasy Fabric Shaver — Our Pick Amazon deal price: $22 ; street price: $25

Instead of replacing your closet staples, consider investing in some laundry aids that can help your clothes last a bit longer. The Homeasy Fabric Shaver is our top-pick electric fabric shaver for big jobs, such as de-pilling and de-fuzzing sweaters in need of some TLC after a long winter. It features six sharp blades, a wide head, and intuitive controls, and it proved very effective during our testing. It’s quiet, comfortable to hold, capable of lasting up to six hours on a full charge, and USB rechargeable. The deal price is about $2 higher than the lowest sale price we’ve seen, but this deal is still a good value.

20 Facts About Moscow: Fun & Interesting

Russias capital Moscow is a city full of history, that is perhaps only known for things like Red Square, the Kremlin and St. Basil’s cathedral.

But,  it pays to know a few facts about Moscow before you take a trip there. Here are 2o facts about Moscow.

Moscow Is Huge

There Is An Underground River In Moscow

The Neglinnaya River flowed through the Russian capital for centuries undisturbed but no one could live on the western side of its banks as it flooded every year. Russian engineering then took over and they diverted the river into an underground tunnel which now flows under Neglinnaya Street into the Moskva river and then built on the old river that is now dry.

The Tunisian Embassy Is Haunted

The Tunisian Embassy in Moscow is the old home of Lavrentiy Beria, the chief of the secret police during Stalin’s era. It’s said that Lavrentiy would kidnap beautiful women, take them home, have his way with them and then murder them. They are now said to haunt the Tunisian Embassy at 28 Malaya Nikitskaya St.

Diplomats have woken up to safes being open and papers scattered everywhere, they hear footsteps in the day and the night and a lot of Tunisian Diplomats have asked to be relocated due to the spooky occurrences.

Gorky Park Is Amazingly Busy

Gorky Park is the central park of Moscow and on average plays host to 100,000 people every day. That is one busy park and one of the busiest in the world.

Izmailovo Park Is Huge

Izmailovo Park is actually one of the largest urban parks in the world. It measured  15.34 square kilometers (1534 hectares) and is roughly six times Central Park, if that helps.

Moscow Has The Most Billionaires

Moscow is home to more billionaires than any other city in the world. There are around 84 billionaires living in Moscow with a combined total wealth of 367 billion dollars. New York comes second with 62 billionaires live there.

The Metro Never Breaks Down

If you live in a city then you know how annoying it is when the metro breaks and you’re late for work. Well, this doesn’t happen in Moscow. The Moscow Metro has only broken down once, on the 16th of October in 1941, and has never failed since.

The Largest Bell In The World Is In Moscow

The Tsar Bell we know today weighs 200 tonnes and it has never been rung, but this is the third version of this huge bell. The first was 18 tonnes and required 24 men just to make it ring but it was then broken into pieces during a fire. The same thing happened to Tsar Bell version 2, and then came version 3 which was buried after another fire and took 40 years to get out.

Moscow Doesn’t Believe In Tears

The saying “Moscow Doesn’t Believe In Tears” is one of the oldest sayings in the country. It stems pack to people who couldn’t pay their tribute to Moscow and would cry and beg for an extension. The emperor would say “Moscow Doesn’t Believe In Tears”.

The highest monument in Moscow is the Victory Obelisk. It’s a huge 141.8 meters tall and was built in May 1995 as a representation of the Great Patriotic War. Every 10 cm of the Victory Obelisk represents a single fay of the war.

The Seven Sisters Of Moscow

The seven sisters of Moscow, aka Stalin’s Skyscrapers, are 7 identical skyscrapers that stand amongst Moscow’s skyline. Today 2 are apartments, 2 are offices, 2 are hotels, and one is a university.

The Busiest Metro

9 million people use the Moscow Metro every day which is more than New York and London combined.

There’s A Lot Of Choice For Dinners Out

The Highest Tower In Europe

The Ostankino TV Tower in Moscow is the tallest in all of Europe and measures an incredible 540 meter high.

Assumption Cathedral

In the Kremlin, you’ll find the oldest building that survived all the fires in Moscow, the Assumption Cathedral. It was completed in August of 1479 and is now 542 years old. The most impressive thing is that it managed to survive all the fires Moscow experienced.

The Kremlin Was Rebuilt By Italians

The Kremlin, located right near Red Square, is actually called the Moscow Kremlin. In the 15th century, the Moscow Kremlin wall and its temples were in serious need of repair but the Russian architects at the time couldn’t handle it. Grand Duke Ivan III then asked the Italians to come and help restore the Kremlin to its former glory.

Moscow Has Burned Down A Lot

The city of Moscow has burned down countless times. All the houses in Moscow used to be built from wood and thus the city burned to its knees quite easily and has been rebuilt several times. These were the fires that burned down the Tsar Bells.

McDonald’s Created A Scene

The first Mcdonald’s opened in Moscow in January of 1990. Despite the cold weather on that winter’s day, the Moscow residents cued patiently waiting for their first McDonald’s meal. The cue was so long it measured several kilometers.

There Was A Tornado In Moscow

Moscow’s one and the only tornado hit the city on June 29, 1904. The tornado ran rampant through the streets destroying a lot of the ancient trees of Sokolniki and destroyed a lot of nearby villages and homes in the city.
