{"title":"Buy a medium suitcase? For 1 to 2 weeks travel | ByMetz","description":"\u003cp\u003eA medium suitcase is the right choice for many trips: roomy enough for about 1 to 2 weeks, yet still easy to handle. Whether you want a single suitcase or an addition to a set, this category lets you compare size, capacity and practical features. Choose a medium travel suitcase that suits your way of travelling with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to choose a medium suitcase?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA medium suitcase is ideal when carry-on is too small but a large suitcase is unnecessarily big. For holidays, city trips with extra luggage or trips of roughly one to two weeks, this is often the most practical size. You have enough space for clothes, shoes and toiletries while the suitcase remains comfortable to use when checking in, transporting and storing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnsure between sizes?

A concrete example from the range is a medium suitcase of 67 x 45 x 26 cm with a capacity of 65 litres — a popular size for checked baggage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice you can expect:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e usually around 60–70 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e often around 60–70 litres\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e mainly suited as checked luggage, not carry-on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes a medium suitcase large enough for a good amount of luggage without stepping up to the largest sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to watch for when choosing?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot every medium travel suitcase performs the same.
