Best Overall: Samsonite S’Cure Spinner XL Suitcase

Finding the perfect suitcase for your upcoming trip can be a serious hassle. There are hundreds of options out there that offer up all sorts of features and picking out the best can be supremely tricky when you’re already stressed about waking up early to get to the terminal and making sure you haven’t forgotten anything important while packing. Samsonite makes this a bit easier with their S’Cure Spinner XL Suitcase.

This piece of luggage is the all-in-one deal that you’ve been looking for. The XL model is made to be the only suitcase you need, and while it’s too large to be counted as a carry-on, it does have a whopping capacity of 102 litres. That’s enough to pack everything you need for a week or more without having to haul around a second or third suitcase to do it. The S’Cure model also features a three-point lock system that is built to ensure that moisture stays out of your belongings and things stay where you’ve packed them.

Since this model is on wheels, it’s also super easy to travel with. You have wheels that turn in 360-degrees, and a handle that is easy to hold onto even when you’re dashing for your connecting flight. Samsonite has also given you twelve different colour options from yellow to black. The exterior of the case is made with durable polypropylene which will ensure that even if it takes a few dents, your belongings remain safe and secure.

One of the major stressors, when you’re flying, is seeing the way that luggage is handled. After all, you need the stuff in that suitcase when you make it to your destination! The Aerolite Lightweight Hard Shell Suitcase gives you peace of mind that your belongings will stay protected and does it with a price point that is affordable for just about everyone.

This suitcase measures 55x35x20cm and has a carrying capacity of 34 litres which makes it a solid choice for many people on vacation. You can snag it in eight different colours, including black, charcoal, peppermint and even rose gold. The wheels rotate 360-degrees which means you won’t be struggling with this suitcase if you need to dash your gate at the last minute, and the shell itself is made from sturdy ABS plastic to protect what you pack.

Travelling is a stressful experience even for folks who have jetted all over the world. When you get to your destination if your luggage hasn’t made it, you could be in for a nasty surprise. The Slimbridge Cabin Carry-On aims to make things just a little bit easier by giving you a small under the seat carry-on that can hold your essentials, so you’re never left in a lurch.

This bag is quite small, but that’s by design. It isn’t meant to be your sole piece of luggage, but if you’re only packing for an overnight trip, it can do the trick. It’s super affordable even for folks on a strict budget and comes in three colours: Red, Ocean Blue, and Dusk.

Adults aren’t the only ones that travel and children will need their own luggage depending on the trip you’re taking. Finding children’s luggage is relatively easy since you can always opt for the smaller version of your own, but the Trunki Children’s Ride-On Suitcase makes it easy to keep track of your child and their belongings when you’re at the airport.

There are several different models of the Trunk suitcase, and they’re all adorable. Since the suitcase is made with children in mind, it’s fairly small with dimensions of 47 x 32 x 21 cm, but that also means that for many airlines it counts as a carryon which can eliminate issues with lost luggage if you have several layovers.

Have you ever been on vacation and start purchasing items for yourself or friends and family back home only to realise that you can’t fit everything into your suitcase to fly home? COOLife makes this a bit easier to handle with their expandable suitcase. This ABS hardshell luggage comes in several sizes, but the large model is capable of expanding, giving you access to an additional 15% of packing space for all of those souvenirs you just had to have.

On top of it’s expanding size this suitcase is a super solid addition for any traveller. It measures at 77x53x30cm and can hold a serious 93 litres. You can snag it in one of six different colours, including black, red and blue. It also features a telescoping handle and 360-degree wheels to make manoeuvring through tight spots a breeze. Best of all if you run into any issues with this suitcase it comes with a 2-year worldwide warranty.

If you and your partner are both ready to jet set on your first vacation in years, you might be wondering how to afford suitcases for the both of you. 5 Cities Hand Luggage delivers great starter suitcases, and they come in an affordable two-pack. These aren’t the best suitcases available on the market. However, the price for two of them at once is hard to beat.

You can choose from more than twenty colour combinations including black, burgundy, green and a variety of different patterns. These suitcases measure out to 55x35x20cm and are approved for carry-on with many different international airlines. The one real drawback is that these suitcases lack wheels of any kind and will need to be hauled around by hand using the handle, but for the price point, it’s a detriment some travellers may be willing to deal with!
