When traveling this Summer, think of the benefits that carry on luggage brings. Checked luggage is great, it is taken by the airline and transported for you. However, there are certain benefits to carry on luggage that checked luggage just can’t offer.
Decent carry on luggage is a necessity, especially for small trips. It helps you avoid the risk of lost or damaged luggage as it remains with you at all times!
Here are some good tips for finding the perfect carry on luggage for you:
Size
If you are going to stick to one carry on bag, better choose the largest size possible. Each airline has it’s own size specifications, however, in most cases, the safe maximum size is 45 inches, or 22" x 14" x 9". Be sure to check with your airline first!
Material
Hard covered luggage isn’t ideal when looking for a carry on. A carry on suitcase won’t be permitted if it doesn’t fit in the overhead compartment in the plane. Soft sided luggage is more apt to be able to fit easily (even if snugly) into the overhead compartment.
Soft sided luggage is also more flexible so it allows you to fit more items into your travels. Many carry on suitcases are “expandable” meaning that you have extra room for items without the additional weight.
Wheels and Handles
Let’s face it. Upright luggage is ideal because it features wheels and handles which help relieve the stress of physically carrying your luggage. Luckily, carry on suitcases are created equally! These days you can find any carry on luggage with wheels and luggage, helping to avoid the “stress” of travels!
