' src=

You have no doubt seen many passengers at the airports rolling their suitcases with layers of plastic wrapped over them, or see people queuing for a service that wraps their bags for them.

You’re probably wondering what all the fuss is about. Why are they doing this, should you do it, and is it worth the money and hassle of wrapping your luggage?

So, first, let’s take a look at the pros and cons of wrapping your luggage.

Pros of Wrapping Your Luggage

  • Theft Deterrent: Having your bag wrapped in plastic wouldn’t exactly stop your bag from being broken into if a thief wanted to, but it acts as an excellent deterrent because thieves would more likely find an easier target.
  • Damage Protection: If your bag is wrapped in plastic, there is an extra layer that will protect it from a variety of sources, including wear and tear, scratches and stains, and the weather
  • Avoid Accidental Openings : If your bag is tightly wrapped in plastic, it will prevent it from being accidentally opened during transportation.

Cons of Wrapping Your Luggage

  • Cost : Finding a service that will wrap your bag or buying material to do it at home obviously isn’t free, though it isn’t too expensive either. If you have several bags that you need to wrap, the cost can soon add up, though.
  • Environmentally Unfriendly: Because plastic is used for wrapping, it isn’t exactly environmentally friendly.

How Much Does it Cost?

While prices can vary depending on the airport, size of your bag, and company performing the service, you can expect to pay about $15-20 to have a regular sized bag wrapped, and over $20 if you want an oversized item wrapped, such as a golf bag , or musical instrument.

How Long Will it Take?

If you use a professional service that specializes in baggage wrapping, it won’t take long at all – just a couple of minutes.

If you wrap your bags yourself at home, it can take a bit longer.

Either way, definitely make sure that you don’t plan to open your suitcase again until you get to your destination, otherwise you will have to do it again, which will cost you both time and money.

What Companies Offer Bag Wrapping?

Companies that specialize in wrapping your bag include Secure Wrap , True Star , and Seal & Go .

According to Marketing Director, Gabriela Farah-Valdespino, “Secure Wrap is the only authorized provider to work with TSA in the United States and has worked with the agency since 2003.”

Additionally, a QR code is placed on every bag Secure Wrap wraps. So if your airline loses your bag , the person who scans this QR code can find out your name, flight number, email, and departure city, so you can be reunited with your bag more quickly.

So, if you can find a Secure Wrap kiosk at the airport, they might be your best bet.

Not All Airports Have a Luggage Wrapping Service

Keep in mind that if you want to wrap your bag, you might not always be able to because not all have kiosks that offer this airport service , though major airports typically will, such as, Miami International, and JFK.

Make sure you research the airport beforehand to find out if a baggage wrapping service is offered. If not, you can wrap your bag at home or find a company that offers this service locally.

Isn’t the Plastic Used For Wrapping Bad for the Environment?

It’s not exactly environmentally friendly to wrap your luggage, but many of these companies, such as Secure Wrap, claim that the plastic they use is environmentally safe, non-toxic & 100% recyclable.

If you wrap your bags, you are encouraged to recycle the plastic once you have removed it from your bag.

What Happens if the TSA Need to Open Your Bag?

If during the screening process something in your bag is flagged on one of the airport scanners, the TSA will unwrap your bag, so they can take a closer look.

Unfortunately, once a TSA agent has unwrapped your bag, they won’t rewrap it.

Everything You Need to Know About Plastic-Wrapping Your Luggage

By Katherine LaGrave

SaranPlastic Wrap Luggage

If you've been in an international airport in the last, oh, 20 years, you've no doubt seen those travelers: the ones wheeling plastic-covered suitcases or getting them spun in several layers of the stuff at kiosks like Seal & Go , TrueStar , and Secure Wrap sprinkled throughout the terminal. But what are the rules surrounding plastic-wrapped baggage, and what's it actually for? We dive in.

First things first: Why are people doing this?

An extra layer of protection, for starters. Baggage handlers have to move bags off and on planes quickly, and don't discern between run-of-the-mill luggage and your more expensive pieces when loading and unloading. (One handler even previously told Traveler contributor Cynthia Drescher, "I see a lot of Louis Vuitton luggage , but having an expensive bag doesn't mean I'm going to treat it with kid gloves.") The plastic acts as a shield against scrapes, gashes, bumps, and bad weather, and will help prevent a full bag from bursting open. It may also deter would-be thieves from rifling through your stuff.

What other security does this offer?

Bags wrapped by Seal & Go, TrueStar, and Secure Wrap all receive a free sticker that allows the bag to be traced.

Where can I find companies that will wrap my suitcase?

These services are plentiful at international airports in Europe and Asia. In the U.S. you'll find them at Miami, New York-JFK, and Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Secure Wrap stations at those U.S. airports wrap nearly two million pieces of luggage a year, according to CNBC .

How long does it take?

About a minute—leaving you plenty of time to get that pre-flight Auntie Anne's.

Will the TSA unwrap my suitcase if it's wrapped in plastic?

If there's something flagged on their scanners—Explosive Detection System machines, or EDS—then yes. (The TSA says most bags screened overall by the system don't warrant a physical inspection.)

And will they rewrap it?

"The short answer is no, TSA does not re-wrap luggage," says a spokesperson. "But we make every effort to cause minimal impact on the luggage and its content by conducting targeted searches." (Note: Some companies, including Secure Wrap, will rewrap your luggage for free if it is opened by the TSA.)

How much does it cost?

Prices vary by company, but the service usually costs between $15-20 for one regular-sized bag, and $22 and up for oversized/irregular items including golf clubs and bikes.

But isn't this terrible for the environment?

It's not the best. But because of issues with non-recycled plastics basically everywhere , companies use custom, environmentally friendly, non-toxic plastic that is 100 percent recyclable. Most companies even suggest you remove your plastic in the baggage claim area, and recycle it at the airport.

Baggage Wrapping Service Offers Peace of Mind for Air Travelers

Courtesy of Miami International Airport

The Airline Quality Rating (AQR), which studies the performance and quality of the largest U.S. airlines , found that that the industry’s mishandled baggage rate fell from 3.24 per 1,000 passengers in 2015 to 2.70 per 1,000 passengers in 2016. Mishandled bags include claims for lost, damaged, delayed, or pilfered baggage.

But the numbers don’t matter when items have been stolen from your bag during your travels. And that’s where Secure Wrap baggage protection service comes in.

Secure Wrap stations are located in the airport departure levels near check-in desks at 54 airports in 17 countries. The stations feature a machine designed to wrap and protect baggage using a 100 percent recyclable, non-toxic, tamper-resistant/evident plastic film in mere seconds.

Theft Deterrent

“The Secure Wrap service is a theft deterrent as thieves look for easier targets when trying to pilfer through luggage,” said Gabriela Farah-Valdespino, the company’s marketing director. “It is also is a tamper-evident solution that acts as an alarm to notify a passenger that foul play occurred with their luggage.”

If someone tried to gain entry into the luggage , they would have to cut the film, said Farah-Valdespino. “Once cut, our plastic shrinks instantly, creating a hole in the film that can’t be concealed. These holes serve as an alarm or indicator that someone attempted to gain entry into your luggage.”

Protect Your Items and Yourself

The Secure Wrap system not only prevents items from being removed but also protects from items, like drugs or money, being placed in luggage, said Farah-Valdespino. “If you claim your bag upon arriving at your destination with items that you did not check-in, that can lead to a potential legal issue,” she said. “It is not uncommon for baggage handlers in certain countries to use passengers to move illegal items unknowingly.”

If a customer arrives at their final destination and notices the plastic has been tampered with, it will prompt them to check the contents at the baggage claim, said Farah-Valdespino. “This allows our customers to fill out a baggage report with their respective airline at the airport, not when they arrive at home or to their hotel and notice that something is missing,” she said. “The Secure Wrap service also protects the exterior of the luggage during transit from scrapes and scratches, wear and tear, and damage from foul weather.”

Where to Find It

Among Secure Wrap’s 54 locations are three U.S. airports,  Miami International , JFK , and Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental . “Secure Wrap is most successful when the airports have a large volume of originating international enplanements, this is when international travelers originate their trip from the airport and check their luggage,” said Farah-Valdespino. “A lot of U.S. airports are hubs or mostly transfer flights , so our service does not benefit the passenger as they are not able to take advantage of it.”

U.S. passengers typically feel that their luggage is safer in America than when traveling abroad , said Farah-Valdespino. “These passengers are not aware that any time you lose sight of your luggage, no matter the country, exists an opportunity for theft and manipulation.”

But this isn’t the case for other countries, where there is a real and great chance of an inside threat that a traveler’s personal belongings will be opened and perhaps taken, said Farah-Valdespino. “A lot of passengers come to the U.S. to take important or necessary goods back home and they can’t risk having them removed from their bags or even have items that aren’t theirs be put in as mules,” she noted.

TSA Luggage Checks

U.S. passengers may be concerned about having their bags searched by the Transportation Security Administration , said Farah-Valdespino. “Secure Wrap is the only authorized provider to work with TSA in the United States and has worked with the agency since 2003,” she said. “We offer a complimentary rewrap in the event a traveler’s baggage needs to be opened by TSA for a secondary inspection.”

Advanced Protection and Tracking

For even more protection, Secure Wrap places a unique QR code on every bag it wraps, said Farah-Valdespino. “Customers can register their information with the QR code and in the event of loss, it can be traced back to them,” she said.

Airlines can scan the Secure Wrap QR code to obtain passenger information. “Bags get lost when an airline tag is misplaced, causing them to have no idea to whom it belongs to. By scanning the QR code with any smartphone it will allow them to obtain the passenger’s name, email, flight number, and departure city to more quickly reunite them to their lost luggage,” she said.

Whether it’s for fun or business, traveling has never been easier than it is today. However, a huge concern travelers have is making sure their belongings are safe and sound while they’re on their journey.

Luggage straps can give you some peace of mind. They help keep your suitcase closed and secure, so you don’t have to worry about losing anything.

A good luggage strap should be able to reliably keep your suitcase closed without worrying about it popping open mid-travel. However, before you just pick the first one you find, there are some things to consider.

Luggage strap length

The first thing you need to consider when looking at luggage straps to buy is their length. If you buy a strap that’s too long for your suitcase, it won’t effectively hold your bag closed. A strap that’s too short, instead, will essentially be useless.

Most straps are adjustable to some extent, which means they can fit a variety of luggage sizes or shapes.

Bottom Line: You should look at the minimum and maximum lengths of a strap before you purchase it.

Luggage strap material

You must also weigh the pros and cons of different materials before purchasing a luggage strap.

Straps can come in a variety of materials, each of which has its merits.

  • Elastic can be stretched around different-sized bags and will snap tighter to keep them secure. However, elastic can be overstretched.
  • Nylon and polyester are strong. However, they can start to fray.

You’ll also want to look at the material of a strap’s buckle or fastener. Poly-plastic blends are durable and will withstand being jostled and thrown around. Thinner materials may cost less, but they’re less durable.

Luggage strap security

Since luggage straps are meant to secure your belongings, the type of security features a strap has should be considered.

There are a few types of ways straps can be secured:

  • Sliding Fastener: This is the simplest but also the least secure option. The strap will loop through the fastener, holding the fabric in place.
  • Buckle: This is a mid-level security option. Each end of the strap will have part of the buckle that will snap together once placed around your bag.
  • Code: Some straps will come with a security code option, similar to a padlock, and won’t open unless the right code is entered.

Type of luggage strap

Luggage straps can also differ by their “type,” or rather, the way they’re meant to be placed on your bag.

Luggage straps can be:

  • X-straps : These straps are meant to keep your bag doubly secured. Typically you’ll have 2 straps — 1 to loop around horizontally and 1 to loop around vertically.
  • Regular Straps : These straps are simple and just wrap once around your bag.
  • Connecting Straps : These straps are meant to keep multiple bags together and strapped closed.

The design is the last thing you should consider when buying a luggage strap. This might seem superficial, but it can make the difference between a useful strap and an essential one. If you have a suitcase that’s non-descript, for example, opting for a neon-colored or patterned luggage strap can help you spot it easily.

However, you might prefer a neutral-colored strap if you want your luggage to blend in or go unnoticed. Some luggage straps can even be customized to also act as luggage tags in case your bag gets lost.

  • A little fiddly

  • Only 1 strap

While many luggage straps come in different colors, this strap has a unique floral pattern that will set your bag apart from the others.

Since by the time you get to baggage claim, you’re probably ready to be on your way, shaving off time trying to find your luggage can be priceless.

However, it’s also a worthy luggage strap. It’s adjustable, so it will fit most suitcases. It’s also got a thick buckle that won’t easily break even if handled roughly.

The strap measures 6.4 feet in length, but it’s adjustable, so you can fit it around most suitcases without any trouble.

Since it’s also nearly 2 inches wide, it covers enough space on your bag to effectively hold it closed without ripping or straining at the seams. The set also comes with a warranty if anything happens to 1 or both straps.

  • Prone to fraying

Travelkin Cross Luggage Straps

If you want a combination lock but you’re worried about the extra time it could add to going through security, this option from Travelkin is perfect for you.

The TSA lock on this strap will guarantee you can glide through security screenings without fumbling for a lock or damaging the strap.

TSA agents will have access to a key that will easily unlock the strap, while anyone else would be out of luck without knowing the combination.

The lock is also thick and durable, so it won’t be damaged while in transit. Nor will the strap rip or tear, thanks to its heavy-duty material. Since the belt is also adjustable, you can fit it around most suitcases without any trouble.

  • Easy-to-see pattern
  • Can slip on luggage

A good luggage strap should help you make sure your belongings are safe while you travel. It should keep your luggage closed, no matter how jostled your bag might get in transit.

However, straps can be fastened in different ways and come in different materials that allow different types of protection, so you can be stress-free. We hope that our list has helped you figure out what sort of luggage strap best suits your needs for your next trip.

Introduction

When it comes to traveling, one of the most important aspects to consider is ensuring the safety and security of your luggage. After all, your belongings are not only valuable but also hold sentimental value. The fear of theft, damage, or loss can easily overshadow the anticipation and excitement of your trip. In recent years, a popular trend has emerged – wrapping luggage in plastic. But what benefits, if any, does this practice actually have?

In this article, we will explore the advantages and disadvantages of wrapping luggage in plastic, helping you make an informed decision about whether or not it is worth considering for your next journey. From protection against theft and damage to simplified identification and containment of liquids, we will delve into the various benefits that this practice can offer.

However, it is important to note that like any travel precaution, there are also downsides to wrapping your luggage in plastic. We will discuss the disadvantages as well, to provide a comprehensive view of this practice.

So, whether you are a frequent traveler or about to embark on your first trip, join us as we unravel the mystery of wrapping luggage in plastic and discover if it is a worthwhile endeavor or merely a trend.

Benefits of Wrapping Luggage in Plastic

Wrapping luggage in plastic offers several advantages that can contribute to a more secure and stress-free travel experience. Let’s take a closer look at some of the key benefits:

  • Protection against Theft: One of the primary reasons travelers choose to wrap their luggage in plastic is to deter opportunistic thieves. The thick layer of plastic makes it difficult for someone to quickly access the contents of your bag. Additionally, some plastic wrapping services use tamper-evident seals, which can provide an extra layer of security by showing if your bag has been tampered with.
  • Protection against Damage: Travel can be rough on luggage, with bags being tossed around during handling and transit. Plastic wrapping helps to minimize the risk of damage by providing an additional layer of protection against scratches, scuffs, and tears. This is particularly beneficial for delicate items or bags with fragile or protruding parts.
  • Simplified Identification: Having your luggage wrapped in plastic makes it instantly recognizable on the baggage carousel. This is especially helpful if you have a generic-looking suitcase or if it is the same brand and color as many others. The plastic wrapping acts as a distinctive marker, making it easier to locate your bag and reducing the chances of someone mistakenly grabbing it.
  • Containment of Liquids: Another advantage of plastic wrapping is that it helps contain any liquid spills that may occur during transit. Whether it’s a shampoo bottle that leaks or a toiletry item that bursts open, the plastic wrap can prevent the liquid from seeping into other items in your bag. This can save you from the hassle of dealing with ruined clothes or electronics due to liquid damage.
  • Extra Security Precaution: For those who take their luggage security seriously, wrapping it in plastic can provide peace of mind. It acts as a visual deterrent, signaling to potential thieves that your bag has been secured and making it less attractive as a target. While it’s not foolproof, it adds an extra layer of protection that could discourage unauthorized access.
  • Peace of Mind for Travelers: Perhaps one of the most valuable benefits of wrapping luggage in plastic is the peace of mind it brings. Traveling can be stressful, and knowing that you’ve taken proactive measures to protect your belongings can alleviate some of that stress. By investing in plastic wrapping, you can relax and focus on enjoying your journey, knowing that your bags have an added layer of security.

While these benefits may make it seem like wrapping luggage in plastic is a no-brainer, it’s essential to consider the disadvantages as well. Let’s explore the potential drawbacks in the next section.

Protection against Theft

When it comes to traveling, one of the biggest concerns for many travelers is the possibility of theft. The thought of someone rummaging through your luggage and stealing your belongings can be unsettling. Fortunately, wrapping your luggage in plastic offers a level of protection against theft.

The thick layer of plastic acts as a deterrent for potential thieves. It adds an extra barrier that makes it more challenging for someone to quickly access the contents of your bag. The plastic wrap not only adds another layer of security but also makes it more difficult for unauthorized individuals to open your luggage without your knowledge.

Additionally, some plastic wrapping services provide tamper-evident seals. These seals are designed to show if your bag has been tampered with. If the seal is broken or damaged upon arrival, you will know that someone has interfered with your luggage. This can be useful in identifying potential theft or tampering incidents and taking appropriate action.

However, it’s important to note that plastic wrapping may not completely eliminate the risk of theft. Determined thieves can still find ways to open or cut through the plastic wrap. Nevertheless, the presence of the plastic wrap and the tamper-evident seals can act as a deterrent and make it more difficult for opportunistic thieves.

It’s worth mentioning that while plastic wrapping can provide protection against theft during your journey, it’s essential to be cautious and take other security measures as well. This includes keeping a close eye on your belongings, using high-quality locks on your bags, and avoiding displaying valuable items openly. Combining these precautions with plastic wrapping can significantly reduce the chances of theft and enhance the security of your luggage.

In summary, wrapping your luggage in plastic can offer an additional layer of protection against theft. The plastic wrap makes it more challenging for thieves to access your belongings quickly, while tamper-evident seals can help identify any tampering incidents. While it’s not foolproof, the presence of plastic wrap can act as a deterrent and give you peace of mind during your travels.

Protection against Damage

Traveling can subject your luggage to various risks and potential damage. Baggage handlers may toss bags onto conveyor belts or carts, exposing them to rough handling and impacts. In such cases, wrapping your luggage in plastic can provide an additional layer of protection against damage.

The plastic wrap acts as a shield, helping to minimize the risk of scratches, scuffs, and tears on your bag’s exterior. It can help prevent damage caused by abrasive surfaces, such as sharp edges or rough materials in the cargo hold of an airplane. By wrapping your luggage, you create a protective barrier that absorbs some of the impacts it may encounter during transit.

This is especially beneficial for bags that have delicate materials, intricate designs, or fragile parts. For instance, if you have a suitcase with a fragile handle or wheels that stick out, wrapping it can help safeguard these vulnerable areas from potential damage.

Moreover, plastic wrapping can also protect your belongings inside the bag. Fragile items, such as glass souvenirs or electronic devices, can benefit from the added layer of security. The plastic wrap helps secure and cushion the contents, reducing the risk of them getting jostled and damaged during transportation.

Despite the added protection, it’s important to note that plastic wrapping does not guarantee complete damage prevention. Harsh handling or extreme conditions can potentially cause damage even with the plastic wrap. It is still advisable to pack your belongings carefully, using protective measures such as bubble wrap or clothing as padding.

Overall, wrapping your luggage in plastic provides an extra layer of protection against various types of damage. It helps shield your bag from scratches, scuffs, and tears, as well as protects fragile components and delicate items. While it may not eliminate the risk of damage entirely, it can significantly reduce the chances and give you peace of mind during your travels.

Simplified Identification

One of the challenges many travelers face is easily identifying their luggage among the sea of similar bags on the baggage carousel. This is where wrapping your luggage in plastic can be advantageous, as it serves as a distinctive marker, simplifying the identification process.

When you wrap your luggage in plastic, it creates a visually distinct appearance that sets it apart from other bags. The bright, transparent, or colored plastic wrap instantly catches your eye, making it easier to spot your luggage as it rotates on the carousel. This is particularly beneficial if you have a generic-looking suitcase or if your bag is the same brand and color as many others.

In addition to making your bag stand out, you can also enhance the identification process by adding unique identifiers to the plastic wrap. For example, you can attach colorful ribbons, luggage tags, or stickers that are easily visible on the plastic surface. These personalized touches not only make your bag easily recognizable but also add a touch of personal style to your luggage.

Furthermore, plastic wrapping can help protect any existing luggage tags or labels that you have attached to your bag. These tags are prone to wear and tear, risking their readability during transit. By encasing your luggage in plastic, you provide an extra layer of protection to these identification markers, ensuring they remain intact and visible.

While plastic wrapping simplifies the identification process, it’s still essential to have proper identification inside your luggage as well. Place a tag or business card with your name and contact information inside your bag. This will ensure that even if the external identification is compromised or removed, airport staff can still locate you if your bag goes missing.

In summary, wrapping your luggage in plastic simplifies the identification process by making it visually distinct. The vibrant plastic wrap catches your eye, making it easier to spot your bag on the baggage carousel. Adding unique identifiers and protecting existing luggage tags further enhance the identification process. Plastic wrapping, combined with internal identification markers, helps ensure that your luggage is easily identified, reducing the likelihood of mix-ups or loss during your travels.

Containment of Liquids

One common concern when traveling is the possibility of liquids leaking or spilling inside your luggage. Whether it’s a shampoo bottle, a toiletry item, or a container of liquid purchased during your trip, the risk of leakage can be inconvenient and potentially damaging to your belongings. Wrapping your luggage in plastic can provide an effective solution by containing liquids and minimizing the damage they can cause.

The plastic wrap creates a barrier that prevents liquids from seeping into other items in your bag. If a bottle or container leaks, the plastic wrap acts as a protective layer, keeping the liquid contained within a confined area. This can be particularly beneficial when packing items such as lotions, perfumes, or any other liquid-based products that have the potential to leak under pressure or due to temperature changes.

By containing liquids, plastic wrapping not only protects your clothing and personal items from stains and odors but also reduces the risk of damage to electronic devices, documents, or other sensitive items that may be adversely affected by contact with liquids.

In addition to containing accidental leaks, plastic wrapping also helps in organizing your luggage and separating items that may pose a risk of liquid spillage. By wrapping specific items or sections of your luggage, such as toiletry bags or containers of liquids, you create a designated area within your bag that is more secure and isolated in case of leakage.

It’s important to note that while plastic wrapping provides a degree of protection against liquid spills, it is not entirely foolproof. It is still essential to take precautionary measures, such as storing liquids in leak-proof containers and placing them in secure zippered bags or pouches within your luggage. This will further minimize the chances of leakage and keep your belongings safe.

In summary, plastic wrapping offers containment of liquids, preventing them from spreading and causing damage to your belongings. By creating a protective barrier, it helps to minimize the risk of stains, odors, and damage from leaking bottles or containers. Combined with proper packaging and storage of liquids, plastic wrapping provides added peace of mind during your travels.

Extra Security Precaution

When it comes to the security of your luggage, every precaution matters. Wrapping your luggage in plastic provides an additional layer of security, acting as a visible deterrent and signaling that your bag has been secured.

The presence of plastic wrap on your luggage sends a message to potential thieves or unauthorized individuals that your bag has been fortified. The thickness and opacity of the wrap make it more difficult for someone to quickly access the contents of your bag without drawing attention. This can discourage opportunistic theft and reduce the chances of your bag becoming a target.

In addition to the physical barrier that plastic wrapping provides, some wrapping services offer tamper-evident seals. These seals can provide an extra level of security by indicating if your bag has been tampered with. If the seal is broken or shows signs of interference upon arrival, you will know that someone has attempted to access your bag without authorization.

Furthermore, plastic wrapping can act as a visual cue for airport security personnel, signaling that your bag has already been inspected or deemed secure. This may result in reduced scrutiny during security checks, saving you time and minimizing the likelihood of unnecessary delays.

While plastic wrapping is an extra security precaution, it’s important to note that it does not guarantee complete protection against theft or unauthorized access. Determined thieves may still find ways to cut through the plastic or bypass the security measures. Therefore, it’s important to combine plastic wrapping with other security measures, such as using high-quality locks on your bags and keeping a close eye on your belongings.

Remember, plastic wrapping is just one part of a comprehensive approach to luggage security. It should be seen as an additional deterrent and a proactive measure to enhance the security of your belongings.

In summary, plastic wrapping provides an extra security precaution for your luggage. It acts as a visual deterrent, signaling that your bag has been secured and potentially deterring potential thieves. Tamper-evident seals can add another layer of security, while the visual presence of the plastic wrap can streamline security checks. While it’s not foolproof, plastic wrapping combined with other security measures can contribute to a more secure travel experience.

Peace of Mind for Travelers

One of the intangible benefits of wrapping your luggage in plastic is the peace of mind it brings to travelers. The knowledge that you have taken proactive measures to protect your belongings can alleviate the stress and anxiety that can accompany travel.

Traveling can be a hectic and unpredictable experience, with potential risks and uncertainties. By wrapping your luggage in plastic, you create a sense of control and security over your personal belongings. The additional layer of protection provided by the plastic wrap can give you peace of mind, knowing that your bags are less vulnerable to theft, damage, or tampering.

When you invest in plastic wrapping, you are taking a proactive approach to safeguarding your belongings, minimizing the potential for loss or inconvenience during your trip. This can help you relax and focus on enjoying your journey, rather than constantly worrying about the safety of your luggage.

Moreover, the transparent nature of the plastic wrap allows you to visually inspect your luggage without having to unwrap it. This can be especially useful if you need to confirm that all your belongings are intact or if you suspect tampering. Being able to quickly assess the condition of your bag can provide reassurance and further contribute to your peace of mind.

It’s important to note that peace of mind is subjective and can vary among individuals. Some travelers may find wrapping their luggage in plastic to be indispensable, while others may not see it as necessary. Ultimately, it’s a personal decision that depends on your level of comfort and the specific circumstances of your trip.

In summary, wrapping your luggage in plastic offers the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have taken proactive measures to protect your belongings. It creates a sense of control and security, reducing stress and anxiety during your travels. The transparent nature of the plastic wrap allows for easy inspections, further enhancing your peace of mind. While the level of peace may differ from person to person, plastic wrapping can contribute to a more relaxed and enjoyable travel experience.

Disadvantages of Wrapping Luggage in Plastic

While there are several benefits to wrapping your luggage in plastic, it’s important to consider the potential disadvantages before deciding to use this method. Here are some drawbacks to keep in mind:

  • Cost: Most airports or professional wrapping services charge a fee for plastic wrapping. This additional cost can add up, particularly if you are a frequent traveler or have multiple bags to wrap. It’s essential to factor this expense into your travel budget.
  • Environmental Impact: Plastic wrapping contributes to plastic waste, which is a significant environmental concern. The single-use nature of the wrap means it can end up in landfills or contribute to plastic pollution if not disposed of properly. Consider eco-friendly alternatives or recycling options if you are concerned about the environmental impact.
  • Difficulties with Inspection: Plastic-wrapped luggage may present challenges during security inspections. Some security personnel may need to open the wrap to inspect the contents of your bag thoroughly. This can cause delays, especially if the plastic wrap is tightly sealed. Be prepared for the possibility of additional screening or the need to remove the plastic wrap during security checks.
  • Less Accessibility: Having your luggage wrapped in plastic can make it more difficult to access your belongings quickly. If you need to retrieve an item from your bag during your journey, you will need to remove the plastic wrap first. This can be inconvenient and time-consuming, especially if you are in a rush or have limited space to work with.
  • Misidentification: While plastic wrapping can aid in identifying your bag, it can also lead to confusion or mistaken identity. If several bags are wrapped in plastic, it may be challenging to differentiate them visually, especially if they are of similar shape or size. This can potentially result in someone accidentally picking up or taking your bag by mistake.
  • No Guarantees: It’s important to remember that plastic wrapping does not guarantee complete protection against theft or damage. Determined thieves can still find ways to bypass the wrapping or cut through it unnoticed. Likewise, extreme handling or harsh conditions can potentially cause damage despite the added layer of protection. Plastic wrapping should be seen as an additional precaution rather than a foolproof solution.

Considering these disadvantages alongside the benefits is essential in making an informed decision about whether or not to wrap your luggage in plastic. It may be helpful to weigh the potential drawbacks against your specific travel needs and preferences.

Ultimately, the choice of whether or not to use plastic wrapping rests with you, based on your individual circumstances and priorities.

Wrapping luggage in plastic can offer several benefits when it comes to travel security and peace of mind. It provides protection against theft, damage, and leaks, simplifies identification, and acts as an extra security precaution. The added layer of plastic wrapping can give travelers a sense of control and minimize the stress associated with the safety of their belongings.

However, it’s important to consider the potential disadvantages as well. Plastic wrapping can incur additional costs, contribute to plastic waste, and create difficulties during security inspections. It may also hinder quick access to your belongings and lead to confusion in bag identification. It’s crucial to weigh these drawbacks against the benefits and your personal travel needs before deciding whether or not to wrap your luggage in plastic.

Ultimately, the decision to wrap your luggage in plastic is a personal one and depends on your level of comfort, the specific circumstances of your trip, and your priorities. It may be beneficial for those seeking extra security measures or peace of mind, particularly when traveling with valuable or fragile items. However, for others, alternative methods of protecting and organizing their luggage may be more suitable.

Whatever decision you make, it’s important to remember that plastic wrapping is just one aspect of a comprehensive approach to travel safety and security. It should be used in conjunction with other measures, such as using luggage locks, being vigilant about your belongings, and following best practices for packing and handling your luggage.

By carefully considering the benefits and drawbacks of wrapping luggage in plastic, you can make an informed decision that best suits your travel needs and preferences. Whether you choose to opt for plastic wrapping or explore alternative methods, the ultimate goal is to ensure the safety, security, and peace of mind during your journeys.

If you tend to overpack for trips or like to have extra luggage space for souvenirs and shopping hauls you’ve picked up along the way, expandable luggage might be just the thing. These carry-ons, checked suitcases, and weekender bags unzip to extend the depth by a couple of inches and increase the overall capacity.

We tested hundreds of luggage pieces, a decent portion of which are expandable, to see which are actually worth buying. Each suitcase and bag was tested in our New York City lab and used on multiple trips for at least six months. We pull year-round insights from luggage tests and evaluate each piece based on capacity, organization, maneuverability, durability, and overall value.

Best Overall

Away the carry-on flex.

  • Organization 5 /5
  • Maneuverability 4.5 /5
  • Durability 4.8 /5
  • Capacity 5 /5

It’s conveniently compact but unzips to extend the depth by over two inches.

The lighter colors may show scuffs more easily.

Away's Carry-on Flex suitcase is conveniently compact, easily fitting into an airplane overhead bin, and you can unzip it to expand the depth by two and a quarter inches. We fit everything on our packing list without a fuss and had room to spare. Inside are two main compartments: a mesh one with zippered closure and the other with a compression panel and straps, plus a zippered pouch. All zippers run smoothly without snagging. The suitcase is also easy to open and close (even when stuffed full) and lift overhead, thanks to the lightweight design.

We found the Carry-on Flex a breeze to maneuver. The handle worked well, the weight felt evenly distributed, and it rolled effortlessly over carpet, hard floor, and tile. This suitcase also proved durable. Nothing broke when we shoved it off a counter and whacked it with a baseball bat. It did sustain a few scuffs, though, so you might want to choose a darker color to conceal them better.

Considering the high-quality design, compact yet spacious capacity, smooth-gliding spinner wheels, and organizational features, we think the price is fair.

The Details: 21.7 x 13.7 x 9 inches (unexpanded), 21.7 x 13.7 x 11.25 inches (expanded) | 8.9 pounds | 39.8 liters (unexpanded), 46.7 liters (expanded) | Polycarbonate

Best Lightweight

Delsey paris hardside expandable luggage with spinner wheels.

  • Design 5 /5
  • Maneuverability 4 /5
  • Durability 4.7 /5

At 5.3 pounds, this carry-on is easy to lift and compact while still fitting a substantial amount of clothes.

It may be prone to dents, and the expander only adds two centimeters to the depth.

Carry-ons can range from about four to 13 pounds. At just over five pounds, the Delsey Clavel Spinner is the best lightweight option we tested. While this hardside spinner suitcase looks pretty small, it can hold a significant amount of clothes even without expanding it. The expander feature adds two centimeters to the depth. This is a little less than most (which are typically about two inches), but the extra space can go a long way.

This carry-on has a sturdy thermoplastic shell that, for the most part, held up well during our tests. However, swinging a bat at it did cause minor dents. The Clavel maneuvers nicely on different surfaces, even over bumps and cracks, but we wish the handle was a bit longer.

In the end, we think the price is warranted and would recommend this suitcase to those looking for a compact, easy-to-lift carry-on for a short getaway .

The Details: 21.75 x 13.75 x 9.75 inches (unexpanded), 21.75 x 13.75 x 10.5 inches inches (expanded) | 5.3 pounds | 43 liters | Polypropylene

Best Checked

Béis large check-in roller.

  • Maneuverability 5 /5
  • Durability 4.5 /5

This suitcase has lots of organizational features, an enormous capacity, and an expander that adds two inches of depth.

Though it's generally durable, the exterior may develop scuffs.

With a whopping 112-liter capacity, this Béis suitcase is among the biggest we tested. We had enough room to fit twice the stuff on our packing list — and this is without the expander feature that gives you an extra two inches of depth. Besides an enormous capacity, the Large Check-in Roller has zippered compartments, ample internal pockets, a removable compression panel, compression straps, and a laundry bag for dirty clothes.

This checked suitcase is also surprisingly lightweight for how massive it is. After packing it full, we could grab it from a baggage carousel and lift it into a car trunk without a struggle. What's more, the cushioned handle and 360-degree spinner wheels make pushing and pulling very comfortable. Although this bag didn't sustain any scratches or dents from our durability tests, it does scuff easily. That said, superficial marks can be wiped off with a damp cloth as needed, and the darker colors will conceal them better than the lighter hues.

Considering the enormous size and organizational features, we think the price is warranted.

The Details: 31.3 x 19.6 x 12.6 inches (unexpanded), 31.3 x 19.6 x 14.6 inches (expanded) | 11.5 pounds | 112 liters | Polycarbonate

Best Carry-on

Samsonite freeform carry-on spinner.

  • Durability 5 /5

This impressive carry-on has a generous capacity, a durable shell, and smooth-gliding spinner wheels.

It doesn't have a removable bag or designated section for dirty clothes.

Of all the carry-on luggage we tested, Samsonite's Freeform Spinner is our favorite. This thoughtfully designed suitcase has two separate compartments and several interior pockets, plus it expands to add two inches to the depth. We fit enough outfits, shoes, outerwear, and toiletries for a four-day trip without having to use the expander. It would be nice if there was a removable laundry bag or separate section for dirty clothes, but we were otherwise satisfied with the organizational features.

This carry-on maneuvers easily on two or four wheels, rolling smoothly over carpet, hard floors, and concrete. We also appreciate that the telescoping handle extends and locks with the press of a button. Hitting it with a bat and shoving it off a table left virtually no damage. And after using this bag regularly for six months, there were no signs of wear and tear. Beyond that, we love the chic, minimalist aesthetic of the Freeform, which comes in a handful of neutral colors and statement hues.

Considering the durable construction, generous capacity, and reasonable price tag, we think this suitcase is an excellent choice for frequent fliers looking for a high-quality carry-on.

The Details: 23 x 15 x 10 inches (unexpanded), 23 x 15 x 12 inches (expanded) | 5.6 pounds | Polypropylene

Travelpro Hardside Luggage Set

  • Capacity 4.9 /5
  • Design 4.5 /5
  • Value 4.8 /5

These expandable suitcases are remarkably spacious, durable, easy to maneuver, and backed by a lifetime warranty.

You may not save money by buying the suitcases as a set rather than individually.

Travelpro's Platinum Elite luggage line is among the best we tested. This two-piece bundle comes with a hardside checked bag and a matching carry-on, each with spacious capacities that expand by two inches. (If you need more luggage, you can add the Medium Check-in Spinner or the Compact Carry-on .) We fit all items on our list with room to spare and appreciated how the zippered panels, cross straps, and various pockets helped with packing.

The suitcases showed a few superficial marks after being whacked with a bat and shoved off a counter, but there were no dents or scratches. When packed full, we thought the carry-on was a little easier to maneuver on two wheels than four, but other than that, the Platinum Elite collection rolls like a champ.

Just a heads up, purchasing the suitcases as a set may not be more affordable than buying them separately. We still think the price is reasonable, especially considering the lifetime warranty.

The Details: 23 x 14.5 x 9.5 inches (carry-on unexpanded), 23 x 14.5 x 11.5 inches (carry-on expanded), 30 x 18 x 13.5 inches (checked unexpanded), 30 x 18 x 15.5 inches (checked expanded) | 8.1 pounds (carry-on), 12.3 pounds (checked) | 45 liters (carry-on), 108 liters (checked) | Polycarbonate

Best Splurge

Tumi alpha medium trip expandable 4 wheeled packing case.

The high-end, exceptionally durable, and incredibly spacious design expands by more than two inches and has exterior pockets that extend outward.

It's relatively heavy when empty.

The Tumi Alpha Packing Case is undoubtedly worth the price tag. We found the medium checked size spacious, without being too large or awkward to handle. Everything on our packing list fit into just one of the compartments, and the zippered expander adds two and a half inches of depth. There are also multiple front pockets that extend outward, allowing you to fit even more stuff and easily access items when the main compartments are full. The zippers seemed to be very high-quality too.

At 17.6 pounds, this suitcase is relatively heavy when empty, but we didn't find it hard to lift compared to lighter bags. The handle locked confidently, and the 360-degree caster wheels rolled smoothly and turned on a dime. It was ever-so-slightly more cumbersome on carpet, though we wouldn't say it was difficult to maneuver at all. The quality of the Alpha Packing Case is undeniable. It showed resistance to wear and tear during our durability test and is backed by a five-year warranty.

If you're willing to invest in an upscale design and want a suitcase big enough for two people's belongings or to fit purchases from your trips, this suitcase is a stellar choice.

The Details: 29 x 20 x 13 inches (unexpanded), 29 x 20 x 15.5 inches (expanded) | 17.6 pounds | 108 liters | Ballistic nylon

Best Budget

Swisstech softside luggage.

This sizable checked bag has lots of organizational features, including various interior and exterior pockets, and it rolls smoothly on all surfaces.

It's not the most stylish but stands out for practicality.

On a budget? We recommend the SwissTech Executive Upright Suitcase. This large checked bag is notably spacious, with a zippered compartment, compression straps, multiple pockets inside and out, and a removable pouch to keep your things organized. Unzipping the expander adds two inches of extra depth and a lot more packing space.

This suitcase is durable, sustaining almost no visible damage from our bat test. There was just one small smudge on the exterior, which wiped off. It rolled smoothly over carpets and hard flooring and even did pretty well when we pulled it over gravel. The simple, softside design isn't the most fashion-forward — but we wouldn't hesitate to bring it on a trip.

If you're looking for an affordable suitcase with an expander and practical features, you really can't go wrong.

The Details: 29 x 19 x 10.5 inches (unexpanded), 29 x 19 x 12.5 inches (expanded) | 9.1 pounds | 1,680-denier textile

Best Softside

Briggs & riley expandable spinner.

Briggs & Riley

The suitcase feels all-around well made, from the dent-proof exterior to the easy-gliding wheels and sturdy handle.

We wish the built-in garment bag was more intuitive.

The Briggs & Riley Baseline Expandable Spinner is made of soft yet sturdy ballistic nylon that looks sleek without compromising durability. With impact-resistant corners, it withstood several bat hits and falls from a table. The textile exterior was also easy to wipe clean. We love this suitcase's self-repairing YKK zippers, which actually get smoother over time. Not only that, but the sturdy aluminum handle makes it a piece of cake to maneuver over smooth and bumpy surfaces.

We appreciate the interior and exterior pockets and expandable main compartment. The only real drawback is that the built-in folding garment bag isn't very intuitive. Still, we like that this feature stays tucked away if you choose not to use it.

If you can swing the price, you might consider investing in this well-made, luxury piece of luggage — and the lifetime guarantee can give you peace of mind about your purchase.

The Details: 26 x 18 x 12 inches (unexpanded) | 13.3 pounds | 80 liters (unexpanded), 97 liters (expanded) | Ballistic nylon

Best Weekender

Longchamp le pliage expandable travel bag.

  • Portability 5 /5

The Le Pliage Bag is lightweight and comfortable to carry, with a seemingly never-ending capacity.

It doesn't have many organizational features.

Longchamp's Le Pliage Travel Bag is the best expandable weekender we tested. With a seemingly never-ending capacity, this carrier effortlessly fit everything on our four-day packing list with room to spare. The expander is easy to use — just unzip the middle to increase the size by more than half. We also like how lightweight it is: less than two pounds when empty.

This bag's biggest downside is the lack of organizational features. It has two small interior pockets big enough for things like a phone, passport, AirPods, or lip balm, but that's it. Depending on your travel plans, you might want to use packing cubes. What makes up for it is the fact that the Le Pliage is made of smooth, durable canvas that repels stains and wipes clean as needed. You can carry it with the two grab handles or the adjustable shoulder strap, which we found comfortable. 

Seeing as Longchamp bags last for years and stand up to wear and tear, we think the price tag is warranted.

The Details: 17.7 x 13.8 x 9.1 inches (unexpanded) | 1.6 pounds | 30 liters (unexpanded), 50 liters (expanded) | Recycled polyamide canvas

Travel + Leisure / Jessica Juliao

The Travel + Leisure team has tested hundreds of luggage pieces both in our New York City lab and in real-life settings, including a wide range of expandable carry-ons, checked bags, weekenders, and underseat bags. We created an airplane set in the lab to simulate the travel experience. Our comprehensive tests include hitting the luggage with a baseball bat, shoving it off a table, packing it with enough belongings for a trip based on the size, pushing and pulling over different flooring materials and terrains, lifting into a makeshift overhead bin, and placing smaller ones under a seat.

Each piece of luggage was evaluated based on capacity (with and without the expanders), organization, maneuverability, durability, and overall value. Those with the highest scores are featured here.

Tips for Buying Expandable Luggage

Pay attention to the materials.

Luggage can have a hard shell (often made of polycarbonate or aluminum) or a textile exterior, such as ripstop or ballistic nylon. Hardside suitcases can prevent your belongings from getting crushed, but the softside variety can be more flexible and easy to zip closed when packed to the brim. Both are generally easy to wipe clean, though hard shells can be more prone to scuffs.

Besides the exterior material, pay attention to the zippers. They should be strong, smooth, and reliable, especially with an expandable suitcase that unzips to increase the depth.

Check your airline's carry-on size requirements

Carry-on rules and requirements vary, so check your airline's size limit before your trip. The cap for overhead bins on many domestic flights is 24 x 16 x 10 inches, but some airlines are more strict and may set the limit to 22 x 14 x 9 inches. For international flights, carry-ons usually can't be taller/longer than 21 inches.

With this in mind, some carry-on suitcases won't fit when expanded. You may need to check your bag both ways or potentially just on your return flight if you use the expander to fit souvenirs from your trip.

Consider your airline's checked bag policy

While an expandable suitcase will allow you to fit more stuff, you'll want to be conscious of the weight. Filling it to the brim will not only make it heavier and potentially harder to maneuver but also may exceed the airline's weight limit for checked luggage. In many cases, you'll have to pay extra (on top of the standard checked baggage fee) if you go over 50 pounds.

If you're willing to pay the additional fee, the limit may be 80 to 100 pounds. Also, the maximum size for checked bags is often 60 linear inches (meaning the total length, width, and depth). But again, this varies among airlines, so check the rules before heading to the airport.

Unzipping the expander typically adds two inches to the depth of a suitcase, but it can be slightly more or less. While this may not seem like much, it means you can fit another two-inch layer of clothes into the main compartment — potentially more, depending on the material and if there are any compression features.

Expandable hardside suitcases have rigid, crush-resistant exteriors that help protect what's inside (and potentially prevent wrinkles ). They're usually easy to wipe clean, though lighter colors can show more scuffs. Softside luggage, on the other hand, is sometimes lighter-weight and often just as durable. Additionally, a textile suitcase can be easier to zip closed when packed full, which can be good for overpackers . Both can be great options, so it really comes down to personal preference.

With a unique culture and long history, you'll find plenty of interesting souvenirs to pick up during your travels to Moscow. By far one of the most popular inexpensive mementos you can pick up is a Matryoshka or Russian nested doll. Another great souvenir you can pick up is a fur hat to keep you warm during your vacation and when you return home. 

If you're looking to splash out on something special, pick up an ornate samovar, a type of traditional kettle dating back to the 18th century. Moscow also has plenty of culinary treats that you might want to buy as gifts for folks back home. Muscovites are famous for their love of vodka, and you won't have trouble finding a unique bottle in the capital. Russia is also known for producing world-class caviar, in case you're looking to indulge in the finer things.

She loves the USB feature, and the ease of sliding it into overhead compartments, thanks to the sturdy hardshell case. She loves the fact that it would be easy to spot her bag in airport baggage pick-ups since most bags are black." </p>

Hardside Expandable Luggage

Swissgear has been at the forefront of the luggage game for a hot minute now (the company was founded in 1893, fyi!) and it continues to provide top-quality stuff. Its products are sturdy, yet lightweight, like this expandable carry-on, which comes with a TSA-approved lock and USB port and costs under $100.

THE REVIEWS: "We needed new luggage for an upcoming trip to Greece and bought two of these as they complied with the size restrictions.

Came back with some scratches but nothing too serious. The 28-inch is almost 13 pounds so keep that in mind when packing since airlines restrict 50 pounds. Easy to maneuver and durable so far. Color, style, and lock are just as pictured. I love the interior of this luggage! A mesh area on one side and two sections with zippers on the other. Comes with two drawstring bags, cross straps on both sides, and a hanger. As an organized person, these little perks made my day as all my items stayed in place. Due to the price of this suitcase, I plan on buying a cover for added protection when traveling to avoid more scratches."</p>

Chatelet Hard+ Hardside Luggage

Delsey is a classic French brand beloved by stylish travelers, who love that its suitcases include built-in chargers, three-dial TSA-approved combination locks, and tons of zippered compartments. This carry-on includes a shoe bag, laundry bag, and a removable hanger, so you know your travel outfits will be treated correctly.

Carry On and Checked Set

If you're looking for luggage with a scratch-proof shell that won't get all dinged up in baggage claim, then let me introduce you to July. The Australia-based start-up turned mega suitcase brand has won over the hearts of travelers everywhere thanks to its chic, lightweight, and, of course, ultra-durable designs. The set you see here (because yes, you'll want a matching pair), comes in 12 different colors you'll struggle to choose between, if you're anything like me.

THE REVIEWS: " I was able to fit almost everything in [the carry-on] for a five-day trip, and I didn’t even try to pack well! There was even room to spare. It was silent even when rolling on a wooden walkway. So far, I'm in love. Glad I researched and got my bag from July."

Can I just say, 'OMG!!!!' My pet peeve with my other suitcases (who will remain unnamed) is that they ALWAYS “flip/have a blowout” while I am wheeling them through the airport, along cobblestones in Dubrovnik, gravel in Greece, etc. My Away suitcase rolls smooth and rough terrain without a problem, and no more flipping over," one reviewer writes. "Other reasons to love it include color, easy to clean, the interior layout, ease of locking/use, and it seems to fit in all overhead bins (even on smaller planes). Almost forgot, I also have the matching TECH case…..LOVE!!!!!!"</em></p>

The Bigger Carry-On

Overpacker? Prepare to meet your new best friend (in luggage-brand form): Away. This cult-favorite company knows how to get you the most bang for your buck when it comes to space, thanks to interior compression systems, various pockets, and even hidden bags. This cutie carry-on, for example, can hold almost as much as your standard checked luggage, according to one Cosmo reviewer . It also features an ejectable USB charger, a lock for extra security, and a black leather luggage tag.

Hybrid Carry-On

Monos has quickly made a name for itself in the travel industry, and frankly, I get it. My carry-on has become the most-used suitcase in my closet (and as an editor, I've tried a lot ). You can count on the pieces to last thanks to sturdy aluminum handles and a German Makrolon polycarbonate case. The pieces are also downright gorgeous??? (If you don't need a suitcase rn, def check out their other bags and accessories, too.)

THE REVIEWS: "The product looks as good as the photos and campaign film. I’ve inspected every inch of the product and can confidently say that the Hybrid is very well-engineered and constructed. The polycarbonate shell feels substantial enough to protect contents with a slight flex to absorb impact, and the handles feel very strong."

Essential Check-In

"Oh, you fancy, huh?" —Everyone at the airport when they see you with a Rimowa bag. These babies are as expensive-looking and -feeling as they are, well, actually expensive. And most people think they're worth the price. For example, one Cosmo editor brought her Rimowa bag on a trip to Paris and has been obsessed with the super smooth wheels, "weirdly spacious flex-divider system," and priceless knowledge that she looked like a baller ever since.

This hip backpack company (you know, the one you always begged your mom to buy you at the end of summer?) makes more than just schoolbags, y'all! Herschel also offers cute but durable duffel bags and solid suitcases at not-too-shabby price points.

3-Piece Set Suitcase

If you travel for lots of different reasons (work, weekends away, longer vacays...whatever), then you should consider getting a luggage set from Coolife. The fact that you can buy the brand on Amazon is so convenient, and the value for what you're getting is just unbeatable. Take this three-piece set, for example. You get three suitcases in three different sizes (perfect for lots of different excursions!), all for under $150.

What to consider when buying new luggage:

It's true that you often get what you pay for, but you know better than anyone else what you can afford. If you don't travel often, you can probably get away with buying a low-cost suitcase. But if you're constantly jumping in planes, trains, and automobiles for work or pleasure, you might want to invest in a high-quality brand with a great warranty so you know your suitcase will stick around for the long haul.

Think about what type of trips you take most frequently—are they quick jaunts, extended weekends, or month-long adventures? Whatever your travel style, choose your bags accordingly. You'll typically want a duffel for anything under four days, a carry-on if you're gone for under a week, and a checked bag for anything else (unless you're super impressive at packing). If you fly often, be sure that your bags are compliant with airline regulation sizes, too.

Luggage has come a long way since your mom's travel days of yore. Now, suitcases come with all sorts of bells and whistles—you've just got to pick and choose which ones are most important to you. Take into consideration features like TSA-approved locks, 360-degree spinner wheels, interior organizers, weight-limit indicators, expandability, and more. They can make travel so much easier, I promise!

A good luggage company will believe in its products, and have a warranty that proves it. Lucky for you, I made note of each brand's warranty info, above! Peruse as you wish, my dear.
