Luggage Tips & Baggage Allowances

Having the correct luggage and understanding the general TSA traveling requirements can make or break your trip. Check out below for some tips and requirements that will help you decide the appropriate luggage for your travels:

Frame & Construction
Luggage frames are most commonly made of aluminum, wood and/or durable molded plastic compounds. You want a lightweight inner frame that will ensure strength. When it comes to zippers, look for ones that are reinforced with taped seams to help prevent fraying. Also, double stitching ensures a smooth closure every time. A common misconception is that thick leather is the only material that prevents belongings from getting ruined during travel. However, this can make the suitcase very heavy and hard to move. Nylon is a nice alternative, as it costs less to manufacture and is sturdy enough to effectively protect your possessions.

Handles
Most wheeled suitcases contain a telescopic pull handle, allowing you to adjust the height and conceal the handle when not in use. The handle should be sturdy and able to withstand pulling. Finding a suitcase with a locking handle will help keep it from bending due to weight pressure. Non-wheeled bags will most likely have hand and shoulder straps. Take note of the overall construction, as handles are typically connected with screws or rivets. Screws are much easier to replace if broken. You’ll also want to be comfortable with the bag, so make sure its handle has a soft/padded, sturdy grip.

Rolling Luggage
If you don't want to carry your baggage, then rolling luggage is right for you. A common type is known as "spinner" luggage, which has four wheels instead of two. Having four wheels makes your suitcase more stable and easier to move through crowded areas. When looking for spinner luggage, wheels should be placed far apart and should attach deep into the bag's frame.

Tips:

  • Keep in mind how often you travel and what type of traveling you do. If you are a weekly business traveler, it makes sense to invest in higher-end luggage versus someone who is an occasional vacation traveler.
  • When looking for luggage, try to find pieces that aren’t too heavy. Keep in mind your luggage will become heavier once you start packing.
  • Consider getting a color other than black. Black is the most common luggage color and is often hard to spot when claiming your bag. If you do end up with black, add a distinctive color ribbon or line of paint on the handle so your bag is easier to find.
  • Even if your luggage has wheels, still make sure that you are able to lift and transport your bag. Not only could over-packing damage your bag, but it could possibly result in extra handling charges.
  • Make sure your luggage contains updated contact information (name, address, phone, e-mail) so if it gets lost, the airlines can easily get a hold of you.

    TSA Allowances for Carry-on Baggage:

  • One purse, briefcase, camera bag, diaper bag or laptop computer that can fit under the seat in front of you
  • One bag that measures 22" x 14" x 9" or smaller; May not exceed 45 linear inches in combined length, width and height
    Please note TSA requirements are subject to change and should be verified upon arriving at the airport.
