FAQ（よくある質問）
What size suitcase is recommended for international travel?
While it depends on the length of your trip, generally, a 60-80L suitcase is recommended for 4-7 nights, and an 80-100L or larger suitcase for trips longer than 7 nights. It's a good idea to choose a slightly larger size to have extra space for souvenirs.
When traveling internationally, is it better to take a carry-on or check luggage?
When traveling internationally, we recommend using a checked suitcase in conjunction with a carry-on bag. By separating larger items into checked luggage and valuables and frequently used items into your carry-on, you can achieve both convenience and security.
Do I need a TSA lock for international travel?
Yes, especially for travel to the United States, a suitcase with a TSA-approved lock is essential. This prevents the risk of your lock being broken during airport security checks.
Is it better for overseas travel suitcases to be lightweight?
Yes. There is a weight limit for checked baggage (approximately 20-23kg), so the lighter the suitcase itself, the more luggage you can pack.
What features are useful when traveling abroad?
It's convenient to have features like expandability, silent casters, caster stoppers, and front-opening. These features significantly impact ease of use, especially for long-distance travel.
Overseas Travel Suitcase Buying Guide
Capacity and Size Selection | Based on Travel Days + Souvenirs
When traveling abroad, the amount of luggage tends to increase, so choosing the right suitcase capacity is very important.
Generally, a 60-80L suitcase is suitable for 4-7 night trips, and a large-capacity model of 80L or more is suitable for trips lasting over a week.
Considering souvenirs and purchases you might make on your return, choosing a slightly larger size will reduce the stress of packing.
Lightweight Design | Tips for Maximizing Your Weight Allowance
When traveling internationally, checked baggage has weight restrictions, so the lightness of the suitcase itself is important.
If the suitcase itself is heavy, the amount of luggage you can pack will be reduced. Therefore, choosing a model with a lightweight design can increase practical storage capacity.
Lightweight suitcases offer a significant advantage, especially for long trips.
Durability and Materials | Reliability for Long-Distance Travel
When traveling internationally, suitcases are checked in at airports frequently, increasing their chances of impact.
Therefore, it is important to choose a highly durable material.
Polycarbonate and PC+ABS materials are lightweight yet highly impact-resistant, making them suitable for international travel.
Security Features｜TSA lock is essential
When traveling abroad, crime prevention measures are also an important consideration.
By choosing a suitcase with a TSA lock, you can check your luggage with peace of mind even during airport inspections.
Additionally, it's a good idea to check the strength and structure of the zippers for added security.
Add-on: For increased luggage on the way back
When traveling abroad, you'll almost always find your luggage increases on the way back.
A suitcase with an expansion feature allows you to increase its capacity as needed, so you can easily store souvenirs and purchases.
