A Suitable Case for Travel 

 

Don’t call it a dream, call it a plan. It’s time to get our ducks in a row and head off into the wide blue yonder. Plainly said, let’s pack a bag and hit the road (sea or sky – or all three)! But that’s easier said than done. Packing can be as stressful as meeting a deadly work deadline. That’s why we’d like to share some tips on how to make sure your luggage is suitable for your trip.

 

Our top tips for choosing a suitable case include: 

  • Find something that isn’t too difficult to maneuver
  • Find something that doesn’t get too heavy when you fit everything you need for your next adventure. 
  • Find something that protects your valuables
  • Find something that matches practicability and style


Whether a full-size or cabin-size case, you need to consider its weight, size, security, handles, wheels, storage, and expandability. Visit our website https://www.celliniluggage.co.za/ to find the most suitable luggage for you and your travel.



When Backpacks are Best

 

If you’re heading to multiple destinations, a backpack is probably the best choice. Especially if you’re hopping on and off public transport or need to carry your bags over uneven roads or terrain. They are spacious and lightweight and often made of durable materials. 

 

Just remember:

  • a backpack needs to fit you properly – so try them on properly before heading off 
  • rolling your clothes is often the best way to pack – so it’s not ideal for formal wear
  • they can be difficult to carry when heavy

When Rolling Bags Rock 

 

If carrying a backpack makes you feel like a packhorse, a bag with wheels is probably a wiser and more convenient option for you. Their biggest advantage, of course, is that they roll (over relatively smooth surfaces, that is). Rolling suitcases often have hard shells or extremely durable soft side exteriors – therefore offering superior protection for your precious goods. 

 

Just remember:

  • They must have good wheels

When You Need a Carry-On To Carry On

 

For shorter trips when you don't need to pack it all in, traveling with a carry-on bag is the way to go. It gives you freedom and flexibility and is the ultimate in convenience. You can move around easily without having to lug a big case around. It’s easy to store – on a plane, bus or train – and even if you’re staying in a capsule hotel or a pod (but more about those in another blog). And you have everything with you, within arm’s reach. Not to mention, family and friends will appreciate you not taking space liberties when you pop in for a surprise visit. 

 

Just remember:

 

  • to be selective about the clothing you choose for your break i.e. pack items that work together 
  • pack clothing that can be layered (leave the bulky stuff behind)
  • if you’re flying, wear what you can when checking in
