Our Travel Luggage – Versatile Companions for Stylish Journeys

The main distinction is between sturdy hardshell suitcases made of materials like polycarbonate or polypropylene and flexible softside luggage made of nylon or polyester. In addition, there are classic 2-wheeled trolleys, maneuverable 4-wheeled suitcases (spinners), and specialized cabin trolleys for carry-on luggage.

The ideal luggage depends on the duration of your trip, mode of transport, and destination. For short business trips and weekend getaways, a compact carry-on trolley or a flexible weekender from brands like reisenthel is sufficient. For multi-week flights and summer vacations, a sturdy hardshell suitcase from brands like travelite offers the best protection. Softside suitcases, on the other hand, offer more flexible packing and are great options for bus and car trips, as well as air travel.

Among the most popular and renowned brands are travelite and Samsonite for durable and lightweight travel companions. Quality manufacturers like Rimowa, Titan, and Victorinox are also in high demand, standing for well-thought-out designs, high durability, and functional details.

Suitcases with a height of approximately 65 to 78 cm are ideal for standard checked baggage on flights (usually up to 23 kg). Most airlines allow a maximum linear dimension (length + width + height) of 158 cm for a free standard piece of luggage. However, be sure to check your airline's specific dimensions beforehand, as they frequently vary.

The standard size for regular carry-on luggage for most airlines is approximately 55 x 40 x 20 cm (including wheels and handles). The allowed weight is typically between 7 and 10 kg, but this varies depending on the airline. Be sure to check your airline's specific dimensions beforehand.

Carry-on luggage includes compact trolleys, weekenders, travel backpacks, and laptop bags within the carry-on dimensions that are stowed in the overhead bin. Many airlines also allow a smaller "personal item" such as a handbag or daypack that fits under the seat in front of you.

Prohibited items include pointed or sharp objects such as scissors, knives, and pocket knives, as well as weapons and explosives. Liquids may only be carried in containers up to 100 ml inside a clear, 1-liter resealable bag—larger containers belong in checked luggage. You can find a detailed guide here.

Yes, a laptop bag counts as a piece of carry-on luggage. With many airlines, it can be brought on board as a personal item in addition to your standard carry-on, provided it fits under the seat in front of you.

Yes: The majority of our suitcase selection comes equipped with an integrated TSA lock. This is particularly important when traveling to the US, as airport security authorities can open the lock for inspections using a master key without damaging it.

Samsonite and travelite rely on especially high-quality, rubberized double wheels (360° spinner wheels). These run extremely quietly, are exceptionally durable, and allow for effortless maneuvering on various surfaces. Other brands like Titan, Victorinox, American Tourister, and more also focus on high-quality wheels, as they provide tremendous comfort and endure constant use.
