Choose the Right Luggage for Every Journey

When it comes to travel, picking the right luggage is just as important as packing the right clothes. 

At Travel Universe, we’re here to guide you through the different luggage sizes and types, helping you find the perfect fit for your adventure. Let’s explore the options and how to choose the best luggage based on your travel plans.

Types of Luggage and When to Use Them

1. Carry-On Luggage 

• Best For: Short trips, weekend getaways, or business travel.
• Size Guide: Carry-on luggage usually measures 53-56 cm in height, including the wheels. It’s compact enough to meet most airline overhead bin regulations, while still holding your travel essentials.

Carry-ons are perfect if you’re traveling light and want to avoid checked baggage fees and the baggage carousel. Just make sure to stay within your airline’s size and weight limits—usually between 7-10 kg.  

2. Medium-Sized Checked Luggage 

• Best For: One to two-week vacations or trips with more wardrobe needs.
• Size Guide: Medium checked luggage typically measures 61-66 cm, wheels included. This size provides more space for packing without being too bulky.

This option is great for travellers who need a bit more room. Keep in mind that many airlines have a weight limit of 23 kg for checked luggage, so pack smart to avoid overweight fees! 

3. Large Checked Luggage

• Best For: Long-term travel, family vacations, or trips requiring bulkier items.
• Size Guide: Large luggage measures around 68-82 cm in height and offers ample space for longer trips or additional gear.

If you’re packing for an extended stay or sharing a suitcase with family, this size is ideal. Just be cautious of the weight—most airlines have a 23 kg limit. Check with your airline to be sure. 

4. Duffle Bags

• Best For: Backpackers, Adventurers and road trips
• Size Guide: Duffle bags come in a variety of sizes, typically ranging from small (around 40-50 cm in length) to larger options that can be 70 cm or more.

Duffle bags are perfect if you’re looking for a lightweight, flexible option that’s easy to carry—or you can opt for a wheeled duffle for added convenience. Many duffle bags also fit in overhead bins, making them a great alternative to traditional carry-ons. 

At Travel Universe, we offer a wide selection of reliable, durable, and stylish luggage to fit every journey—from carry-ons and checked bags to versatile duffle bags. Explore our collection and travel with confidence, knowing your luggage is up to the task!
