Frequently asked questions about expandable suitcases (FAQ)
1. What is an expandable suitcase?
Expandable suitcases are a type of expandable suitcase that allow you to expand the interior space of the suitcase with a zipper or other expansion mechanism .
This design is ideal for situations where travelers need additional storage space while traveling, such as buying souvenirs or gifts on the way home. Expandable luggage provides additional storage space without having to carry an extra suitcase, making it convenient and practical.
2.How do I expand the expandable suitcase?
The expansion mechanism of an expandable suitcase relies heavily on the zipper design . Typically, there are one or more hidden zippers on the outer layer of the suitcase. When you need more capacity, simply pull the expansion zipper, and the overall thickness of the suitcase increases, increasing the storage space inside.
The expansion will increase the capacity by 20-30% , but will also increase the total length of the suitcase's three sides.
3.Do expandable suitcases meet airline baggage regulations?
For New Trip, the dimensions with expansion function comply with most airline carry-on or free checked baggage specifications.
The sum of the three dimensions of carry-on baggage must be less than or equal to 115cm (45 inches) in length, width, and height, and the weight must not exceed 10kg.
Free checked baggage allowance is limited to 23 kg (Economy Class) or 32 kg (Business Class/First Class) per piece, with the sum of the three dimensions not exceeding 203 cm (80 inches).
4. Can I bring the expanded suitcase on board?
Small-size suitcases must have a total of 115cm or less on all three sides before expansion, and can be carried on board after being measured by a flight attendant.
However, since the sum of the three sides will increase by 5 to 10 cm after expansion , Japan Airlines regulations require suitcases over 115 cm to be checked in, but they will fall within the free checked baggage allowance.
