1. How to choose the best suitcase for two people

Title

When choosing the best suitcase for two people traveling together, you need to consider a few points, taking into account the amount of luggage you will be carrying and your travel style.

When packing luggage for two people into one suitcase, important factors include size, capacity, lightness, and storage functionality. Here we will introduce some tips for choosing the perfect suitcase for two people traveling together.

① Choose the right size and capacity

Title

The most important thing when traveling with someone is to choose a suitcase that is the right size to fit all your luggage. It's important to pack lightly, but if you're traveling for a long time or bringing a lot of luggage, you'll need a suitcase with the right capacity.

  • Medium (M size) : Perfect for a week-long trip. Even if you have a lot of luggage, it can easily fit clothes and necessities for two people.
  • Large (L size) : Recommended for long trips of a week or more, or for bringing thick clothing appropriate for the season. It can comfortably store luggage for two people.

Also, having extra space in your suitcase will allow you to easily store any souvenirs or extra items you may have purchased during your trip.

Title

②Lightweight design and easy portability

Title

When carrying a suitcase while traveling, lightness is a very important point. Since you will be carrying luggage for two people, if the suitcase itself is heavy, it will be difficult to move around. Especially considering that you will be walking for long periods of time at airports and stations, a suitcase that is lightweight and easy to carry is ideal.

  • Lightweight polycarbonate and ABS materials are strong yet relatively lightweight, making them easy to transport while traveling.
Title

③TSA lock and safety

Title

When traveling as a couple, you often have to leave your suitcases at the airport, so security is also a consideration. A suitcase with a TSA lock (a lock approved by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration) is highly secure and provides peace of mind during your trip. Choosing a suitcase with a TSA lock is especially convenient if you're traveling internationally or using multiple airports.

Title

④ Separate storage space and easy organization

Title

When traveling with someone, it's easier to organize your luggage if the storage space is separated so that your belongings don't get mixed up. If you choose a suitcase with multiple compartments (dividers) and pockets, you can store your clothes and accessories separately and easily access what you need.

  • It has two large compartments , each with a convenient zippered divider, so you can store two people's luggage without it getting mixed up.
Title

⑤ Stability of casters and smooth movement

Title

Suitcase wheels are an especially important factor. To ensure smooth movement of your suitcase while traveling, choosing one with four or five wheels will make moving around much easier.

  • A suitcase with silent wheels allows you to move quietly and comfortably around the airport or hotel, allowing you to travel comfortably without disturbing those around you.
  • The 360-degree rotating casters make it easy to maneuver in tight spaces, making it especially convenient for travelling where you need to move around a lot.
Title

By keeping these points in mind and choosing the suitcase that best suits your travel style, you can make travelling much easier and enjoy a more comfortable trip.

3. Tips for efficiently packing luggage for two people

Title

When traveling with someone, it's important not only to take care of your own luggage, but also to balance it with your partner.
There's no need to double the luggage for two people heading to the same destination.
Here we will introduce some ideas for keeping things compact and comfortable without having to cut them down too much.

table of contents

① Only one thing is enough to share

Title

For example, if you assume that the following items will be used in common , you will be surprised at how much less luggage you will need.

  • Toothpaste, shampoo, and other skin care products
  • Mobile batteries and chargers
  • Hair dryer (the one provided by the hotel may be sufficient)
  • First aid kit including regular medications and band-aids

I got out of the "I'll just take both of them anyway" mindset.
All you have to do is switch to the idea that there is only one thing you can share .

Title

② The number of clothes you need is the number of days minus one set.

Title

The number one reason why you end up with a lot of luggage when traveling with someone is because you have a lot of clothes that you just want to pack .

Before you travel, decide on your outfits for the number of days you will be traveling to avoid wasting time.

  • 2 nights → 2 sets of top and bottoms + 1 spare item is OK
  • For night out, use items that change the impression just by layering them (cardigans, shirts)

Additionally, it is convenient to store clothes in compression bags or rolled up (in rolls) .

If you store clothes in separate compartments, such as "upper body clothes" in one compartment and "lower body clothes" in the other, the effort required to search will be greatly reduced.

Title

3. It's smart to separate your luggage by its role.

Title

When you open your suitcase and it's a mess, it can be tiring just to search for your things.
So what I would like to recommend is to divide by "category" rather than by "person ."

for example:

  • Suitcase A → Clothes, outerwear, innerwear
  • Suitcase B → Gadgets, cosmetics, daily necessities, accessories

This way,

  • One person can get ready without the other person having to worry.
  • It becomes clear where to take it
  • You can sit down and prepare at the same time

This has the following advantages:

Title

④ Put things you will need immediately in an outer pocket or carry-on bag

Title

After check-in, on the plane, immediately after arriving at the hotel...
Packing only the things you need right away will make your move go more smoothly.

Example: What to put in your carry-on bag

  • Drinks and snacks
  • Passports/Tickets
  • Mobile battery/cable
  • Jackets or stoles for two people
  • Regular medication
  • Wet wipes

Ideally , both of you should know where everything is in your luggage.

Title

summary

Title

Preparing for a trip for two isn't just about packing half the amount of luggage.
" Share what you can share "
" Divide roles "
" If you're unsure whether you need something, get it locally ."

Just by keeping these three things in mind, you'll be amazed at how neat and tidy your suitcase will be.

And the ease of handling a suitcase greatly affects how comfortable you are while traveling.
The lighter, easier to move, and less stressful your luggage is, the more freedom you will have on your trip.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Title
Q1. 二人旅行ではスーツケースは1つと2つ、どちらが良いですか?

A1:
2泊3日程度の短めの旅行 → 1つでも十分にまとまります。移動がとても楽です。
4泊以上 / 荷物が多い旅行 → 2つに分けると整理しやすく、重さの分散にもなります。

また、スーツケースを2つに分けることで、片方が万が一破損・遅延しても全荷物が失われないというメリットもあります。

Q2. 二人旅行におすすめのスーツケースのサイズは?

A2:目安は以下を参考にしてください:
週末〜3泊 → Mサイズ(約50〜60L)
1週間前後 → Lサイズ(約70〜90L)

「S + M」や「M + L」など、二人でサイズ違いの組み合わせが最も使いやすいです。

Q3. 液体類(シャンプー・ボディケア)は現地調達でも問題ありませんか?

A3:基本的には現地調達で問題ありません
国内旅行であればホテルやコンビニで揃います。

ただし、常備薬・愛用している化粧品は必ず持っていきましょう。

Q4. 二人の荷物を一つのスーツケースにまとめると、ぐちゃぐちゃになりませんか?

A4:仕分け方法次第で、整理は簡単に保てます。おすすめは:
・各自の荷物を仕分けポーチにまとめる
使う順番に上から配置する
・圧縮袋は必要最低限(重くなりやすいため)

「役割で分ける」意識があると、取り出しやすくなります。

Q5. 航空会社の受託荷物制限で気をつけることはありますか?

A5:特に重量に注意してください。
二人分を1つにまとめると、簡単に規定(多くは23kg)を超えます。

旅行前に航空会社の公式サイトで
「受託手荷物(checked baggage)」のページを確認しましょう。

Q6. 二人セットのスーツケース(2点セット)は本当にお得ですか?

A6:旅行の頻度が高いカップルやご夫婦には、非常にメリットがあります
・サイズを旅行ごとに柔軟に使い分けられる
・色やデザインの統一感がある
・単品より価格が抑えられる

とくに、New Trip の拡張機能 / ストッパー / 耐衝撃アルミフレームは、二人旅で便利なポイントです。
