'As a travel editor I swear by this Ryanair-approved backpack and it now has 30% off'

I've tried out dozens of travel bags and this is the best one for trains and planes, says our beauty and wellness editor – and it's currently in an early Black Friday sale

After testing out countless handbags, travel bags and suitcases, I believe I've finally discovered one that is not only practical but also stylish – and it's part of a huge Black Friday sale. My main criteria for an everyday travel bag that can handle a three-hour train journey followed by a busy day (or two) of meetings are that it needs to accommodate a lot of items – heavy laptop, chargers, water, book, snacks – yet still be comfortable to wear and easy to carry – and I think I've found just that in the Antler Chelsea Backpack. I adore how everything stays neatly organised inside, rather than all rolling around together in my usual tote-style bag: water bottle, laptop, keys and small essentials such as charging cables all have their own compartments, making it easy to find what I'm looking for on a packed Avanti West Coast train.
