Why choose a travel bag with wheels?

A wheeled travel bag combines the flexible packing of a duffel with the convenience of a trolley. You benefit from a wide opening, soft materials that can flex in the trunk, and you can still roll effortlessly across platforms and terminals. With multiple carry options — telescopic handle, top grips and sometimes a shoulder strap — your luggage stays comfortable whether you travel by car, train or plane. Many models fold compactly for storage at home.

How to choose the right size and layout

Choose the size based on trip duration and carrier. Litres are the best guide, with these starting points:

• Weekend — 30 to 50 L: ideal wheeled weekend bag, compact and lightweight.
• 1 week — 60 to 90 L: popular mid-size wheeled travel bag, often 70–80 L.
• 2–3 weeks — 100 to 120 L: large wheeled duffel for maximum capacity.
• Hand luggage — usually up to 55 x 40 x 20–23 cm: check your airline's rules.

If you fly with airlines using the 40x30x20 rule, pick a bag that fits those dimensions and verify the carrier's specific conditions in advance.

Look for a practical layout: a large main compartment with U-opening is easiest to pack, compression straps keep contents in place, and a separate shoe or wet pocket is ideal for sports or beach use. An expandable travel bag adds litres when needed. If you often travel on foot, consider a backpack with wheels for maximum flexibility.
