Suitcases suitable for trips of 4-7 nights require a larger capacity than those for trips of 1-3 nights, and are required to be able to accommodate increased luggage and longer stays. The capacity is usually around 50-70L. This is large enough to hold clothes, shoes, toiletries, souvenirs, etc. for more than 4 nights.
Since you'll be carrying more luggage on a long trip, a lightweight material (such as polycarbonate) makes it easy to carry. It also needs to be sturdy enough to withstand long trips and being checked in on an airplane.

Frequently asked questions about suitcases suitable for 4-7 nights
1. What size suitcase is suitable for a 4-7 night trip?
20-inch: Can be boarded, suitable for summer or light travel, can store 4 to 7 sets of light clothing and toiletries (total length, width, and height ≦ 115 cm).
24 inches: Suitable for autumn and winter, can carry more items (thick clothes, shoes, etc.), and the capacity can meet the needs of 5-8 days.
Special scenarios: If you need to transport fragile items or travel, it is better to choose an aluminum frame model.
If you need to expand the capacity, some brands support "expansion design" (such as NewTripGB0201Plus ).
2. Which is better for medium-distance travel: a hard case or a soft case?
A hard case is recommended for its light weight and durability.
Why hard cases are good for medium-distance travel
Durability and Protection : Made from hard materials (such as polycarbonate and ABS), it is excellent at protecting your luggage from impact and pressure. It is a safe choice for storing valuables and fragile items on medium-distance trips, where luggage may be handled roughly during travel.
Waterproof : It protects your belongings from rain and moisture, making it ideal for travel to areas with unstable weather.
Appearance and cleanliness : They tend to be preferred for business and urban travel as they are stain-resistant and have a luxurious feel.
Easy to use for medium distances : It's easy to organize 4-7 days' worth of luggage, and many models come with TSA locks, so you can rest assured about airport security.
Why soft cases are good for medium-distance travel
Lightweight : Made from nylon or polyester, it is lightweight and convenient for medium-distance travel when airline weight restrictions are a concern.
Flexibility : There are many exterior pockets, and some models can be expanded slightly if your luggage increases, making them ideal for carrying shopping and souvenirs.
Ease of movement : The soft material makes it easy to carry on crowded trains and narrow streets.
Mid-range usability : Suitable for casual travel and those who like to pack a lot.
3. How do I choose casters, handles, and locks?
Choosing Casters <br/>Casters are a core part of your suitcase and directly affect its durability and the feel it gives when pushing or pulling it.
Material : We prefer wheels made of TPE/TPU, which are quiet, wear-resistant, smooth and suitable for all road surfaces.
Type : Universal wheels (4-wheel design) or 8-wheel design are recommended. 360-degree rotation is more labor-saving, especially suitable for long-distance transportation.
Choosing a Telescopic Handle <br/>The material and design of your telescopic handle will affect its comfort and durability.
Material : Aluminum alloy telescopic handles are recommended as they are lightweight, resistant to deformation, and suitable for long-term use.
Number of sections : It is better to choose a telescopic handle that can be adjusted to 3-4 levels, which can accommodate different heights and provide more flexibility.
Choosing a Lock <br/>Locks are important for the safety and convenience of your luggage, and you should be especially careful when traveling abroad.
Type : TSA lock recommended, this is suitable for international travel and allows customs officials to open and inspect the box without damaging it.
Security : Make sure the lock is strong, durable, and not easily pried open. Some brands even use a double explosion-proof zipper design for even greater security.
4. How can you improve storage?
1. Make a detailed list before you travel and decide what you need based on your destination, climate, and itinerary to avoid forgetting or bringing too much .
2. Rolling clothes into a cylindrical shape not only saves space but also prevents wrinkles (e.g. T-shirts, pants, etc.).
Place heavy coats and other clothes that are difficult to roll flat on the top layer , and roll up lighter clothes to fill in the gaps .
Maximize space by placing socks and small items of clothing in the grooves at the bottom of your suitcase.
3. Wrap leaky liquids (such as cosmetics) in plastic wrap or a zip-lock bag and store them in a small box or storage bag.
Make use of space : Tuck small items like chargers and data cables into crevices in your shoes and clothes to reduce clutter.
4. If you are storing large items such as down jackets or stuffed animals, use vacuum compression bags to save space.
To keep your suitcase organized, separate your clothes, toiletries, etc. into separate storage bags .
5. Do I need to consider seasonal and destination influences?
Season: 20 inches is enough in summer , 24 inches is recommended in winter (heavy clothing takes up more space).
Terrain: For uneven roads, choose wheels that absorb shock . For urban areas, silent casters are more practical.
