AN AIRLINE worker has revealed the "incredible" bag she uses when flying with only hand luggage.
The traveller claims the special backpack can fit under any plane seat and store almost 2 weeks' worth of items.
The bag is the eBags Mother Lode Jr travel backpack, which claims to be the "perfect one bag travel solution" on its website.
The main selling point of the backpack is that it opens like a suitcase into two sections, allowing travellers to make full use of both compartments.
Tiktoker Megan Homme (@meganhomme), who works for an airline, said it allows her to travel for cheap, without having to pay extra for checked luggage.
In a video, she said: "If you're traveling on a really cheap ticket, sometimes you can only bring a personal item that fits under the seat.

"I used this backpack as my personal item on a ton of different airlines. And it does fit under the seat.
"If you want to travel really cheap, but didn't think you could do a trip with just a backpack, you can totally can."

"I keep finding pockets and more space and keep telling my friends about it."
Another wrote: "It has enough pockets for everything you could possibly need. I was able to pack enough clothes for a 10 day vacation in this bag."
A third added: "This is one high quality attractive backpack. It is adequate for all the items I take for a 2 week international trip."
The bag is currently reduced from to $139.99 (£114) to $97.99 (£79.60) on the eBags site.
