Ranking the lightest suitcases! New Trip teaches you how to choose and pack

Title

Now in 2026, as travel and business trip styles are changing, front-opening suitcases that allow you to access your luggage while the suitcase is standing upright are attracting particular attention.

The biggest appeal of these suitcases is that they can be quickly accessed without tipping over, whether it's on an airport bench, on a train, or in a small hotel room. Furthermore, more and more models are equipped with USB charging ports and casters with locking mechanisms, making them comfortable to use even within the 7kg weight limit of LCCs.

New Trip offers five front-opening models that meet these needs. They're perfect for business trips and short trips. Here, we'll introduce our recommendations, ranked based on best-selling items and user reviews!

一、フロントオープン式スーツケースのメリット・デメリット

merit

  • You can take in and out luggage while it is standing upright, even in a small space (convenient on airplanes, in waiting rooms, and on Shinkansen trains)
  • Frequently used items such as PC, documents, and chargers can be easily organized in the front pocket.
  • Keep your valuables safe with a TSA lock
  • Charging your smartphone on the go (USB port model) is stress-free

Disadvantages

  • The front pocket tends to reduce the overall storage capacity of the bag.
  • Because there are many zippers, the waterproofing may be inferior to that of regular models (it is safer to choose a model that comes with a waterproof bag).
  • The price is a little high due to its high functionality

New Trip's model minimizes these disadvantages while maximizing the benefits.
