Cheap suitcases: affordable cabin and large suitcases
A cheap suitcase is an affordably priced suitcase that does not compromise on weight, wheels or locks. This collection includes affordable suitcases from Travelite, EB, Beagles, Decent, Skyline and American Tourister: from a 55x40x20 cm cabin suitcase to a large 75 cm suitcase. Choose from hard and soft models.
What should you look for in an affordable suitcase?
Pay attention to the weight: a lightweight suitcase leaves more room for your luggage. Customs can open a TSA lock without causing damage, which is useful when travelling to the USA. Choose a model with an extendable handle and four wheels if you roll the suitcase often. All lightweight models can be found in the lightweight suitcases collection.
What is the difference between a hard and a soft suitcase?
Hard suitcases made of polypropylene or ABS protect the contents better against impacts and are easy to clean. Soft suitcases made of polyester or nylon are flexible and often have outside pockets. Some are expandable. Compare them in the hard suitcases and soft suitcases collections.
Which suitcase size is right for your trip?
For a short trip with cabin luggage, choose 55x40x20 cm or 55x35x25 cm. Examples include the Decent On Tour and the Beagles Originals. For a week or longer, choose a large model. Consider the 75 cm EB Richmond or the Travelite Air Stripe Large. A wheeled duffle combines a travel bag with wheels. All cabin models can be found in the cabin suitcases collection.
How do you maintain a suitcase?
After your trip, wipe the shell with a slightly damp cloth. Keep the wheels free of hair and sand so they continue to roll smoothly. Leave a soft suitcase open to dry before storing it. Store the suitcase in a dry place with the handle retracted.
