Buy a cabin suitcase: cabin size, lightweight, hard or soft
A cabin suitcase is a small suitcase that you take into the cabin, so you do not have to wait at the baggage carousel. This collection includes cabin suitcases from Samsonite, Travelite, American Tourister, EB, Beagles and Decent: from a simple two-wheel trolley to an expandable four-wheel spinner with a laptop compartment and TSA lock.
What size cabin suitcase is allowed in the cabin?
The permitted size differs by airline and ticket type. Many airlines accept 55 x 40 x 20 cm or 55 x 35 x 25 cm, while budget airlines often allow only 40 x 30 x 20 cm. Measure your suitcase including the wheels and handles, and check the current rules before departure. The most compact models can be found among the small suitcases.
Hard or soft: what suits your trip?
A hard suitcase made of polypropylene or ABS protects fragile items and is easy to clean. A soft suitcase made of polyester is more flexible and often has a front pocket. For a business trip, choose a model with a laptop compartment, so your laptop stays separate. All models with a hard shell can be found among the hard suitcases.
Two or four wheels?
You pull a two-wheel suitcase behind you. A four-wheel spinner rolls upright beside you, which is convenient in a queue or a narrow aisle. Lightweight models weigh less, so you can pack more within the weight limit. Also view the suitcases with 4 wheels.
How do you maintain a cabin suitcase?
After a trip, wipe the shell with a slightly damp cloth and leave the suitcase open to dry. Keep the wheels free of hair, sand and threads so they continue to roll smoothly. Store the suitcase in a dry place and do not put anything heavy on top of it.
Frequently asked questions
How much fits in a cabin suitcase? The capacity is usually between 35 and 45 litres, enough for two to five days of travel. An expandable model provides extra space, but may exceed the cabin size when expanded.
Do I need a TSA lock on my cabin suitcase? For a flight to the United States, a TSA lock is the safest choice because customs can open it without causing damage. All models with this lock can be found among the suitcases with TSA locks.
