When packing for a trip, whether it’s a few days down the road or across the globe, you want your luggage to do a great job. It should be easy to pack, easy to carry, and able to withstand the abuse of curbs, stairs, baggage-handling crushes, and other misfortunes. It should also fit your specific needs, depending on the length of your trip and whether it’s for business or leisure. It’s important to find the right size luggage for your travels, too, since airline luggage restrictions may impose limits on how much you can bring along.
Generally, suitcases are rectangular in shape, while luggage can come in all shapes and sizes and be either wheeled or non-wheeled. Some luggage even has telescoping handles and leashes to help you get it around on the ground. The distinction is not that strict, though; all luggage carries personal items for a trip and it can be made of either hard or soft materials.
The type of luggage you need will depend primarily on your itinerary and airline luggage restrictions, which are often more restrictive for domestic flights than for international ones. For instance, most airlines have restrictions on carry-on bags, requiring that they measure no more than 22x14x9 inches (height x width x depth), including wheels and other handles. Luggage that falls within those parameters will typically not be relegated to the cargo hold, provided it meets other requirements like having no sharp edges and no liquids or gels.
