Luggage

Size:

  • 24-INCH SUITCASE: good for a 4-day trip

  • 27-INCH SUITCASE: good for a 10-day plus trip

NOTE: In Europe, the maximum size for a carry-on piece is 20 inches.


When it comes to construction, look for:

  • 1. ballistic nylon fabric

  • 2. double-stitched seams

  • 3. self-healing nylon zipper

  • 4. expandable bag

  • 5. multiple handles

  • 6. in-line skate wheel


Consider these facts when it comes to cost:

    Three piece sets can range from $65 to well over $2,000.

    On average a moderately priced suitcase should last five years of regular travel.
