This bento bag has it all!

Used this on our recent trip to Hawaii. It was so fun to pack and the color is gorgeous. I fit:
- 1.5 outfits (in case my checked bag got lost)
- AirPods Max
- Tech cables (love the little bag that comes with it)
- Toiletries (love that pouch they include)
- Snacks
- Ipad
- notebook & notepad
- inflatable sleep pillow
- padded eye mask
- pill case
- pen
- misc.

Super handy to have this onboard during the flight and have the peace of mind that I'd be prepared if anything happened to my big suitcase.

It can get a bit heavy, but wearing the strap cross-body helps (or asking your husband to wear it :D)

I fear that the leather handles might stretch or break overtime cause the part just above the stretching looked softened after just one use but maybe that's normal.

Fits in Frontier personal item sizer

I flew frontier for a 3 day trip and was able to get everything I needed into the Bento bag. I usually pack tons of toiletries but I still was able to get in all my necessary basics into the provided bags. The tech bag was plenty roomy too. Loved the water bottle pocket too.

From the perspective of a flight attendant, I love it.

For context, I'm a flight attendant. As you can imagine, my job requires me to be away for numerous days at a time. While my employer does issue bags, I stumbled upon this bag in a YouTube video and I decided to buy it!

It can easily fit 4-5 days of clothing, including undergarments if you roll/compress it down properly, along with my iPad, my chargers, my work-issued tablet, and my passport. The Bento Bag really is a game changer and it has helped me reduce my over-packing tremendously. Also, it's very compact so if you're traveling for less than a week, you honestly wouldn't even need to bring a carry-on. I absolutely love it and will recommend it to my friends and coworkers!

Best Bag Ever

I had heard a lot of good vibes re the Nomad Lane Bento Bag. It is better than all the reviews. I am delighted with the organization and capacity that this bag offers. Bravo Nomad Lane!

Truly unsure if I could be more obsessed with a bag

I am someone who makes a spreadsheet and does hours of research for any decent sized purchase. I’ve been using my expandable Longchamp as a personal item for the last 5 years, and while it’s an amazing bag and still looks brand-new, it’s been increasingly difficult to take it on planes due to the lack of trolley sleeve and organization. I probably compared 20 different personal item bags, mainly duffels and totes, before I came across the Bento Bag. I watched dozens of reviews of this bag and I really thought it was too good to be true. Then I received it. I tested it with so many different packs and it was everything I’d hoped for and then some. I’m currently using it as my personal item in Japan, and it has doubled as an overnight bag for when we do luggage forwarding. It’s definitely easier to travel with on top of my carry-on, but the crossbody strap makes it a little easier to carry when I don’t have my suitcase. It fits the perfect amount of stuff and the firm shape helps avoid bulkiness. I love that everything I need is right at my fingertips. I didn’t know what I was missing til I had it, and now there’s no going back. I’ve already convinced 2 other people to get this bag. If you’re on the fence, please trust in the hours of research I did and take the plunge.

Bento Bag is a game changer

I just got the latest Bento Bag. It’s a perfect personal bag. Plenty of room for everything you need and it fits perfectly under the seat. The best feature is you can access all the compartments with ease. No more digging through a backpack or tote. It’s well worth the purchase price.

Fantastic Bag!

I ordered the Venetian Violet bag and the color is gorgeous. It is amazing how much I could get in the bag - at least 3 outfits, 2 pairs of shoes, personal items, toiletries and makeup bags, and a book! Although I was not working, my iPad would have easily fit as well. It is very well made and sturdy. I love the two zippered compartments! My only wish is that the strap was a little longer to make carrying it cross body easier. And as others have noted, the pocket for your water bottle doesn't really work.

Love this bag!!

It truly has room for everything. I am a very organized person and packer so knowing where all of my essentials are without having to dig thru a bag is a win-win for me. It holds way more than you can imagine and you find yourself to not have a tendency to overpack. It fits great under the seat in front of me (Southwest) and the fact I can unzip it and lay flat on my lap helps in finding everything.
What great customer service they have - will recommend to all of my travel friends. You won't be disappointed..
