Get Your Luggage Travel Ready
Share
At Travel Universe, we know that your luggage is more than just a bag—it’s your travel companion. To ensure smooth journeys, we’ve compiled essential tips to get your luggage ready for travel, so you can focus on the adventure ahead!
1. Check Your Airline’s Baggage Policy
Airlines have different weight and size restrictions, and the last thing you want is to be caught off guard at the airport. Double-check your airline’s baggage policy before packing to avoid any surprise fees.

2. Match Your Luggage to Your Packing Style
Are you a minimalist, or do you prefer a few extra outfit options? Whether you’re travelling light or packing for every possible occasion, choose a suitcase that matches your packing style. Our wide range of sizes ensures you’ll find the perfect fit.
3. Durability & Features Matter
Your luggage should make travel stress-free, not add to it. Look for quality materials, smooth-rolling wheels, and smart compartments that keep everything organised and accessible. With our carefully selected brands, you’re guaranteed long-lasting performance.
4. Keep Warranty Information Handy
Your bag is built to last, but it’s always smart to have your luggage’s serial number and warranty info within reach. If you ever need repairs or a replacement, this will speed up the process.
6. Snap Photos of Your Luggage
Before you set off, take a few photos of your suitcase. This will make it much easier to describe and identify if it’s ever lost or damaged—and filing a lost luggage report will be a breeze.
7. Weigh Your Bag Before You Leave
A trusty baggage scale can save you from overweight fees. Take it along on your journey to weigh your bags on the way back, especially if you’re bringing back souvenirs!
8. Pop Your Contact Details Inside Your Luggage
Luggage tags are a must, but they can get damaged or lost. For extra security, write your name and contact details inside your bag, so you can be reached if it’s misplaced.
9. Keep Essentials in Your Carry-On
Always pack essential items—such as travel documents, medications, chargers, and a change of clothes—in your carry-on. This ensures you're prepared in case your checked luggage is delayed or misplaced, keeping your trip on track.
9. Use Packing Cubes for Organisation
Packing cubes are a game changer for keeping your belongings organised. Separate clothes by type or destination, making it easier to find what you need without rummaging through your entire suitcase. They also help compress your items, maximising space.
10. Pack a Foldable Duffle Bag for Extra Space
Planning some shopping during your trip? A foldable duffle bag tucked inside your suitcase is perfect for those “just-in-case” moments when you need more room on the return journey.
11. Protect Your Luggage
Travel can be tough on luggage. After each trip, vacuum out your bags and remove old stickers to keep them travel-ready. Use a protective suitcase cover to shield your suitcase from scratches or dirt while in transit or storage.
