Find your PERFECT LUGGAGE! | Suitcase Buying Guide

What brand is the pink carry on luggage?

What about personal item bags?

Great advice 👏🏻 I’ll try to remember that when I go out for another luggage or hearing my family speak of what type of luggage they want.

Bruh… who the hell buys anything over 200$… that’s just insane I can never justify a 800$ small carry on or even check bag..

Hi Nadia, thanks for all the helpful information!
I was just wondering what is your favorite carry on brand for going to Europe?

softside have taller walls which means you have to dig through your stuff more.
hardside has equal side walls which means less digging through your stuff.

Hi your video was the most informative after i spent my saturday night watching suitcase videos
I’m interested in the briggs and riley sympatico large and the samsonite c-lite large. Which would you recommend from the 2?

I've handled a lot of luggage working as a valet in the past and I've found the luggage that I like the best. There are two suitcases that I rely on every year for travel to Europe from the States. The first one is the Eagle Creek Cargo Hauler, the downside to this large rolling duffel is that it doesn't have a hard handle, but it never breaks, has a lifetime warranty, and it doesn't weigh anything! This means you can load it completely full and never have to worry about going over the weight limits. For carry-on luggage, I love The North Face Rolling Thunder. It has two wheels, which can easily be replaced, but they are also recessed, which means that they don't break, and fit into the overhead bin better than 4 wheels that stick way out. Also, while working valet one thing I hated was the handles on luggage. They usually were never in the right place or didn't have very many or were only on one side. All of the ones I just mentioned have handles on all sides, and they are sturdy, top, bottom, and both sides! They both come with lifetime warranties!

Hey! What brand is the black and gold soft shell suitcase you are showing in this video?

Amazing

Thanks for this video! Very useful!

You're killing it! Can't wait for more.

When I fly with a combination of carry-on/checked, I take the carry-on as soft sided as it is more versatile and I'm not as worried about damage and for my checked it will be hard sided as the whole baggage handling process can be rough and not in your control.
As for putting on TSA locks on your checked bags, my answer is yes. Of course they're not the strongest locks in the world, but if you lock the bag properly by immobilizing the zippers, this will cause any potential thief to seek out easier and less time consuming bags, like unlocked bags, to get into. Only if you have a bag that screams luxury (Rimowa, Tumi etc) should you be worried about a thief being dead set on your bag.
For bags with a built-in power bank or connection, they're nice to have but I don't consider them to be a must have feature.
For shopping for luggage, make sure you put some money into it. A suitcase from Wally World might only survive the trip if you are lucky; seeing a split open luggage at the carousel is no fun.

Do come Sikkim India

HORDE FOR LIFE!!!!!

Briggs and Riley’s warranty isn’t as great as it seems. It says they repair all functional damage to any bag they make. But I messaged them about this, and they said they can actually evaluate the bag and determine it’s non-repairable. In that instance you get a credit.

Based on comments I saw on Reddit, the credit offered is less than half the cost of the bag.

I think the Monos and July lifetime warranties are better because they cover all functional damage and don’t have stipulations regarding airline/ third-party damage. They offer repairs or replacements if repairs aren’t possible.

Could you do a video on how to choose where to travel on a budget? Maybe just a whole budget video!

What you didn't appear to show with hard sided cases is the "solid" variety with a proper hinge and clips to hold it closed rather than zippers. When zippers are used, you have fabric between the halves of the case so they are not totally rigid, also thieves can just cut into the fabric and destroy the case in seconds. The fabric area around the zipper can also let rainwater in. Solid plastic presents a somewhat tougher challenge, also usually there is some form of overlap or seal making water ingress from rain much less likely. My preferred bags are a solid plastic case for checked baggage and a backpack as close to the cabin size limit as possible. This leaves me one hand free when walking, to open airport terminal doors etc

Great tips!!! Thanks for sharing👏🏻👏🏻

Very informative. I wish you would name your favorite brands. Nancy

This was so detailed ! You even asked some questions I didn’t even think of ! Thank you

Nadine, what is a good website to see what the airline's carry-on or check bag size? thanks!

you forgot about polypropelene hard luggage, its more flexible than polycarbonate but not as durable but better than ABS

Woo hoo!! My question regarding the different carryon sizes between North America vs Europe made it! Thank you so much! 😊 I had no idea different airlines had different size requirements.

Yes just on time 😍looking for new luggage

My personal preference is a soft case with high quality wheels. Ones with a good structure around the wheels to protect them from damage. Also, I gotta have those pockets on the outside. Plus they stretch for those not too particular packing types. AKA ME! 4 wheels definitely. Easier to move and if you've ever been traveling with a broken wheel, it's nice to have a few extras that will work. One wheel doesn't work, trust me. Especially in a country that loves to use cobble stones. Ah Assisi! I miss you. Great video Nadine.

You read my mind! This is the guided I needed ❤

Thanks BIG LOVE from IRAN
