Hard or soft suitcase: how to choose

The hard suitcase better protects fragile items and withstands rain; the soft suitcase, being lighter, often has an outer pocket and can be compressed into a boot. For a connecting flight, the hard shell gives peace of mind; for a road or train trip, the soft one is sufficient. Four swivel wheels make it easier in airport corridors, while two wheels roll better on cobblestones and steps.

Packing your suitcase well

Shoes and heavy items should be placed at the bottom, by the wheels, so that the suitcase stands up; rolled clothes take up less space and wrinkle less than folded. A toiletry bag and packing cubes keep the suitcase organized from departure to return.

Travel bags, wheeled bags and toiletry kits

For a weekend, travel bags Fred Perry and Napapijri can replace the suitcase, wheeled bags combine sack and wheels, and toiletry kits Hindbag complete the luggage. All bags, from sack backpacks to bum bags, accompany the wheeled suitcase.

Light cabin suitcase, fabric suitcase and colourful suitcase

A light cabin suitcase leaves more weight for belongings within the limit set by the airline. The fabric suitcase, being soft, fits more easily into a full boot, while the hard suitcase better protects fragile items. A colourful suitcase is easy to spot on the baggage carousel. For a suit, a cover laid flat on top of the clothes minimizes creasing.

Bargain suitcases: special offers, new arrivals and Black Friday

Bargain suitcases can be found in the special offers accessories, and the new arrivals accessories showcase the latest models. The suitcases dispatched in 24h arrive before departure, and in late November the Black Friday accessories lowers the prices of travelite suitcases. Fast shipping and best price guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions about suitcases

What size suitcase for a week?

A medium suitcase, such as the travelite Air Base M expandable, is generally sufficient for a week. Beyond that, or for a winter trip with thick clothing, the large suitcase L is needed.

How do I know if a suitcase fits in the cabin?

Compare the dimensions of the suitcase, including wheels and handle, to those allowed by the airline, as indicated on its website. Weight also matters: some airlines limit the weight of cabin baggage.

What is the purpose of an expandable suitcase?

An additional zipper adds depth, thus volume, for the return with purchases. When closed, the expandable suitcase keeps its original dimensions.

How to make a suitcase last?

Store it empty and dry, and clean the wheels after a journey on wet ground. Avoid overloading it beyond its closure: a zipper that is forced will give way first.

Why choose a set of suitcases?

The set of three covers all trips, from cabin to long stay, with three suitcases in the same style. The suitcase set prevents the need to buy a size with each new trip.
