How to Choose a Suitcase

Choosing a suitcase is important and depends on the purpose and frequency of your travels. Here's a detailed explanation of the key points:

1. Business Travel

For those who travel frequently, we recommend lightweight suitcases or business suitcases.

Polycarbonate hard-shell suitcases are lightweight and durable, and carry-on suitcases (e.g., within 55x40x25cm) are convenient.

With 4-wheel casters and TSA locks, you can travel with peace of mind.

Samsonite and Ace are popular suitcase brands, but New Trip models are also gaining attention.

Check Baggage Size by Airline

2. For long trips

For trips longer than one week, large capacity suitcases or durable suitcases are ideal.

A capacity of 70L or more and a sturdy frame are good guidelines. Suitcases with expansion features can accommodate an increase in souvenirs.

Be sure to check the international baggage allowance regulations for suitcase size (within 158cm).

3. Fashion-Focused

If you're looking for stylish or designer suitcases, Rimowa and American Tourister are popular choices, but

New Trip's cute suitcases are also popular among women.

 

Check the list of suitcase sizes in advance and choose one that meets your airline's regulations.

Choosing the right suitcase will enhance your travel comfort.
