Hand luggage travel bags
If you fly with Ryanair, Transavia, KLM or Air France, pay attention to current hand luggage rules. Choose from our hand luggage travel bags that meet common cabin dimensions. A compact hand luggage bag or underseater helps you get through security quickly and fits in the cabin. Think of the ByMetz 40x30x20 backpack or the ByMetz 45x36x20 for EasyJet. If you need more space, pick a wheeled travel bag as a paid cabin bag per your airline's rules. Always check dimensions and weight in advance. Carry liquids and toiletries neatly in toiletry bags.
Wheeled travel bags
Wheeled travel bags are ideal if you walk long terminal distances or pack heavier. With a telescopic handle and smooth wheels you transport luggage comfortably while the flexible construction allows extra room. Choose a compact wheeled hand luggage bag for short trips or a large wheeled travel bag (80–120 liters) for longer trips and sports gear. Models with a reinforced base and water-repellent zippers provide added protection in wet weather. Discover Travelite wheeled travel bags for lightweight convenience or durable options like Samsonite Ecodiver. For maximum organisation use packing cubes and look for smart compartments, compression straps and an external travel document pocket. If you go offroad or use stairs often, choose a model with sturdy handles and protective corners.
Non-wheeled travel bags
Non-wheeled travel bags — often called duffel bags or weekend bags — score on flexibility, carrying comfort and weight. They fold compactly, pack quickly and stow easily in cargo holds, train racks and overhead lockers. For a weekend away, a small travel bag of 30–40 liters is usually enough, while 60–80 liters suits a midweek or sporty trip. For longer journeys or bulky gear, pick a large soft travel bag of 90–120 liters. Consider carrying options: a removable shoulder strap, double handles or backpack straps increase comfort on the move. For a business look, leather weekend bags are stylish; for active use choose waterproof travel bags with reinforced panels. Timeless models from Eastpak and Kipling are handy for everyday use, or choose robust ByMetz duffels for frequent travellers. Smart details like a roomy main compartment, shoe pockets and a sleeve to slide over your trolley make a difference.
How to choose the right travel bag
First consider trip length, transport and packing style. For 1–2 nights, 30–40 liters is often enough; for 3–7 days aim for 50–80 liters; for longer trips or sports gear 90 liters or more. If you travel a lot by train and plane, lightweight and compact is useful, with a sleeve to slide over your trolley. For outdoor travel, pick water-repellent or waterproof materials and sturdy zippers. If you'll also use your bag for business, a leather travel bag is durable and presentable. Useful extras include a laptop compartment, internal compression, lock-prep and an adjustable shoulder strap for ergonomics. Complete your set with luggage and travel accessories such as TSA locks and baggage tags.
