I tend to “collect” luggage. I have many pieces, each useful for different situations.
I made a list of the seven pieces of luggage I think are most helpful when planning for any trip. You would not necessarily take them all on the same trip, but there is a bag for each occasion.
Whether you are traveling home to your family for a weekend, staying with your sister for a night, or going on vacation for a few days, here are:
7 luggage suggestions that should get you through any travel situation
1. Four-Wheel Suitcase – Not only will this suitcase hold everything you need for a trip, it also makes crowds and tight spaces a breeze to navigate through. It has become a must-have for anywhere you plan to travel.
2. Backpack with a laptop space – Most backpacks can be used as your “personal item” on airplanes. Since traveling with a laptop has become a must, that extra laptop sleeve comes in handy and can be easily unzipped at the security checkpoint to be scanned.
3. Shoe Bag – These handy bags can be placed at the bottom of your suitcase to make packing easier. You no longer have to worry about your shoes getting all of your clothes dirty.
4. Hanging Toiletry Bag – A hanging bag makes organization of toiletries easy. Since it can be hung up in a bathroom or hotel room, your bathroom items will be much easier to get to and will require less searching. You will not waste time searching your suitcase for that toothbrush you tossed in last minute.
5. Overnight Bag – This is the perfect size and great for a short trip or even a weekend getaway. You can fit everything you need without having to haul around an unnecessarily large bag.
6. Hanging Clothes Bag – Your outfits will stay nice and ready to wear. You are able to keep them on hangers and can easily move your clothes directly from bag to closet once you arrive at your destination.
7. Laundry Bag – Separation of the dirty clothes from your clean items while traveling has never been easier. Take one of these bags with you to keep your clothes organized during a long trip. It also helps when you return home, so you know what needs to be washed.
