The 10 Best Fanny Packs | Airfarewatchdog

I can hardly believe it but fanny packs are coming back. When you think about it, they are super convenient, so it shouldn’t be that surprising. Fanny packs (also called belt or waist bags) allow you to be hands-free, have enough storage for your necessities, and you might be able to get away with wearing it onto an airplane without it counting as a personal item- after all, it is attire! Here are our top picks for fanny packs that you just may find yourself utilizing on your next trip (you can thank us later).
