Luggage Guide: Finding the Right Travel Luggage
Choosing the Right Suitcase Size by Trip Duration
For every week of holiday, you'll need approximately 50 litres of luggage capacity. For winter trips with bulky clothing, allow 30–40% more space.
- Cabin Baggage (S): 55 cm, 30–40 litres – for 2–5 days or as a supplement to checked luggage
- Medium (M): 60–69 cm, 60–80 litres – best-selling size for 1–2 weeks standard holiday
- Large (L): 70–79 cm, 90–110 litres – for 2–3 weeks or winter holidays
- Extra Large (XL): 80+ cm, 120+ litres – long-term travel or family holidays
Hard-Shell Suitcases vs. Soft Luggage
Hard-shell suitcases made from polycarbonate offer maximum protection: water-resistant, shatter-proof and stackable – ideal for air travel and fragile items. Soft luggage is lighter, more flexible thanks to expandable panels and offers exterior pockets for quick access – perfect for car and train journeys. 65% of our customers choose hard-shell as most primarily buy for air travel.
4 Wheels or 2 Wheels?
4-wheel suitcases (spinners) can be steered in any direction with a single finger and roll alongside you independently – ideal for airports and smooth surfaces. 2-wheel suitcases have larger, more robust wheels and won't tip over when standing – better for cobbled streets and uneven terrain. 78% of our customers now choose 4 wheels, as modern twin wheels roll smoothly even on uneven ground.
Material: Polycarbonate, ABS or Aluminium?
Polycarbonate is the premium material: extremely shatter-resistant, featherweight and returns to its original shape after deformation. Samsonite and Titan use pure Makrolon polycarbonate. ABS is the more budget-friendly alternative – solid for occasional travellers, but heavier and less flexible. Aluminium stands for durability and elegant design, but adds considerably more weight. Our recommendation: For frequent travellers, polycarbonate is worth the investment; for 1–2 trips per year, ABS is sufficient.

Frequently Asked Questions About Buying Luggage
Which Suitcase Size Do I Need for a One-Week Holiday?
For a week-long holiday, we recommend a medium-sized suitcase (M) with a height of 60–69 cm and a capacity of 60–80 litres. This provides ample space for 7–10 outfits plus shoes and toiletries. For winter trips with bulkier clothing, we suggest opting for size L (70–79 cm). Packing tip: Rolling instead of folding your clothes can save up to 30% of space.
Hard Shell Suitcases or Soft Luggage – Which is Better?
This depends on your type of travel. Hard-shell suitcases made from polycarbonate offer superior protection, are water-resistant and stackable – ideal for air travel. Soft luggage is lighter, more flexible (expansion zip for 25% extra capacity) and features external pockets – perfect for car and train journeys. For frequent flyers, we recommend hard-shell luggage; for flexible travellers, soft luggage.
What does TSA lock mean and do I need one?
TSA stands for Transport Security Administration – the US Transportation Security Administration. TSA locks can be opened by security officers with a master key without damaging your luggage. A TSA lock is highly recommended for travel to the USA, as suitcases without TSA locks may be forcibly opened by security personnel. It also provides additional security for other international flights.
How Many Litres Should a Carry-On Suitcase Have?
A hand luggage suitcase should have a volume of 30–40 litres with a maximum size of 55×40×20 cm. Important weight limits: Lufthansa max. 8 kg, Ryanair max. 10 kg (Priority), Eurowings max. 8 kg. Opt for lightweight materials such as polycarbonate to leave more weight allowance for your belongings. For 2–3 days, 30 litres is sufficient; for 4–5 days, choose 38–40 litres.
Which suitcase brand is the best?
It depends on your budget: Samsonite is the world market leader with premium polycarbonate and up to 10 years warranty (from €150). Titan offers German engineering with well-thought-out features (from €100). American Tourister delivers Samsonite quality at a lower price point (from €70). Travelite is the budget champion with solid value for money (from €49). For frequent travellers, investing in Samsonite or Titan is worthwhile.
Is a luggage set worth buying or is it better to buy individual pieces?
A luggage set is 20–30% cheaper than buying cases individually – with a 3-piece set you'll save €50–100. Sets are worthwhile if you travel multiple times a year (different trip durations) or if you and your family or partner need different sizes. The most popular combination: S (55 cm cabin baggage) + M (65 cm) + L (75 cm). If you only travel once or twice a year, a single suitcase in the right size is sufficient.
