Holidays are there to relax, but if we're honest, it can also be stressful. One of the ways to start the holiday in the best possible way is the search for the perfect suitcase. After all, you don't want to stress that your suitcase is open or torn when you're waiting for your suitcase at the airport conveyor belt. There are so many different types of suitcases on the market that the options can seem overwhelming. That is why we give you 6 tips here that you should pay attention to when looking for the perfect suitcase.
1. How long will you be traveling?
The duration of the trip is important for the size of the suitcase. For a weekend away you need a smaller size than if you are going away for two or three weeks. It is also important to keep the destination of the trip in mind. For example, if you go backpacking, a suitcase is not recommended.
2. Hard or soft?
Hard cases provide better protection of the contents and are easier to clean, but are also a bit heavier than soft models. Soft models are lighter and more flexible in use (you can put more in them). Whichever model you choose, make sure it is of good quality.
3. Lock
A good lock is important so that you can transport your belongings safely and that no one can just enter your luggage. There are suitcases with a key lock, a combination lock and a TSA lock. The latter is important if you are going to the United States. They open your suitcase there and that is possible with this lock. Otherwise they will break open your suitcase.
4. Extra functions
Extra functions include zippers, compartments, wheels and handles. These can make use easier and more convenient, but are not necessary. Consider what is appropriate for your journey and needs.
5. How much do you want to spend?
The amount you spend for your suitcase depends entirely on what you are willing to spend and what you can spend. Keep in mind that, especially if you go on holiday more often, better quality lasts longer.
6. Where should I buy my suitcase?
