Benefits Of Carry-On Luggage: The Convenient Companion

Carry-on luggage brings a world of undeniable benefits:

  • Accessibility: Keep your travel essentials close by, ensuring convenience throughout your journey.

  • Efficiency: Skip the lengthy waits at the baggage carousel and stride directly from the plane to your adventure.
  • Control: Keep your belongings within sight, removing any concerns of lost or delayed bags.
  • Cost-Effective: Save on additional baggage fees, with most airlines allowing a carry-on at no additional cost.
     

To combine functionality with style, consider the Lite 4 Wheel Cabin Suitcase. This lightweight yet sturdy carry-on piece is a blend of practicality and aesthetic appeal and comes complete with an integrated TSA lock and zipped divider.

Considerations For Carry-On Luggage

Despite the benefits, carry-on luggage does come with certain constraints. Space limitations demand thoughtful packing, stricter guidelines including liquids, and adhering to airline size and weight regulations for cabin luggage is crucial in avoiding unexpected fees or a last-minute shift to hold luggage. To ensure you comply and avoid these last-minute issues, make sure you double-check your airline information to ensure your luggage will fit their restrictions. You can also filter by airline when shopping for cabin cases at Tripp here.

Advantages Of Checked Luggage: Room To Roam

The allure of hold luggage lies in the abundance of space and the freedom it affords:
 

  • Extra Space: Enjoy the liberty to pack to your heart's content, whether it be fashion choices or favourite amenities.
  • Unrestricted Liquids: No need to rely on travel-sized toiletries; with hold luggage, you can bring your preferred full-sized products.
  • Ease of Travel: Cruise through the airport and transfers without lugging a suitcase around, leaving your hands free for a coffee or duty-free browsing.
     

Our top pick for the spacious yet chic traveller is the Holiday 7 Large Case. This roomy, stylish piece is designed to cater to your every travel need, all while making a fashion statement. It also comes complete with 4 dual wheels for extra ease of movement and a combination TSA lock. 

 

Considerations For Checked Luggage

Although it gives you more packing space, bigger and heavier bags can be harder to move around and may incur extra charges if they exceed the airline's weight limit. The risk of delayed or lost luggage and the time spent at the baggage carousel and check-in desk are also worth considering when weighing up your options. Make sure to double-check your airline’s restrictions to curb any last-minute issues. Depending on your airline, we have lots of information in our blog section regarding individual airline restrictions.
