Short trip: Prioritize compact suitcases
For 2-3 day trips, small suitcases or hand-carried suitcases about 20 inches are often suitable choices. This type of suitcase is sufficient to hold clothes, personal belongings and is easy to carry when traveling by plane, train or car.
Many 20-inch suitcases meet airline hand-carried baggage standards. However, users should still check the specific regulations on size and weight before the flight.
Long-day trip: Choose a large suitcase
With a journey lasting 5 days or more, many people tend to bring more clothes, accessories or personal items.
Medium-size suitcases of about 24 inches or large-size 28 inches help increase storage space, suitable for families with young children or long vacations.
These types of suitcases are often used as checked baggage when traveling by plane. Users should also consider the weight to avoid incurring overbooking costs.
Sea tourism: Prioritize waterproof materials
Summer beach trips often require bringing swimwear, sandals, sunscreen or light clothes.
Suitcases with waterproof or hard surfaces help limit moisture and sea sand from sticking to items inside. Many people also prioritize suitcases that are easy to clean after a trip.
Exploring tourism, traveling a lot: Choose flexible suitcases
For trips that require changing many stops or frequent movement, flexible wheeled and lightweight suitcases are often prioritized.
Solid handlebars, easy rotating wheels and reasonable compartments make traveling to airports, train stations or hotels more convenient.
In some cases such as mountain climbing or exploring tourism, a travel backpack may be a more suitable choice than a folding suitcase.
Note checking durability and protective lock
Before buying, users should check the wheels, zippers, handles and the firmness of the suitcase frame.
Some types of suitcases currently integrate security locks to limit the risk of loss or impact during transportation.
