What Is a Weekender Bag?
A weekender bag is a piece of luggage designed to be the perfect size for a weekend getaway or other short trip. Weekenders and overnight bags are usually about the same size. They are most often soft-sided bags that easily fit in smaller spaces and can be used as carry-on luggage when flying. While small duffle bags may be around the same size, a weekender bag is typically a bit more structured with added features and compartments that help keep things organized.

How Do I Pack a Weekender Bag?
The key to packing well is planning ahead. If you are going on a short trip, like a weekend getaway, don’t weigh yourself down by over packing. Bring only the amount of toiletries and clothing that you will use.
To maximize space, roll clothing and place it in packing cubes or use a weekender with a built-in suiter to avoid wrinkles. Fill your shoes with accessories or other small items you are bringing and store them in a separate compartment or in shoe bags.
Is a Weekender Bag a Personal item?
Some weekenders are small enough to be considered a personal item, which can save you money in baggage fees. If it fits under your airplane seat, it will be considered a personal item by the airline. Before traveling, check your airline’s size requirements for carry-on luggage and personal items.
How Big Should a Weekender Bag Be?
Like any luggage choice, the best sized weekender is the size that suits you best. Keep in mind that weekenders are made to simplify short trips. When choosing your weekender, a good rule is to choose a bag that fits a few interchangeable outfits, a small toiletry kit, and one or two pairs of shoes. Some weekender bags even have sleeves for a tablet or laptop.
