Going to abroad for your vacation or even work trip is exciting. Though you may be all ready but at the end of the day, having the right luggage bag will definitely make all the difference. Here are 10 points to help you choose the right luggage bag when you go abroad.
Weight: Since airlines have weight restrictions, it is better to buy a light weight bag so that you can carry all the items you require.
Size: That depends on actually what you prefer as it will depend on your trip and the items you will need to carry. Check out the standard sizes for bags allowed and choose thus.
Material: Look for properties such as water and stain resistant, expandability, and so on while selecting the material.
Security: Since the security and safety of your belongings are much important when you go abroad, look for a bag with a good lock system.
Cost: The cost will depend on what kind of bag you need. Look for quality as your abroad travelling bags have to be strong. Buying online can get you good discounts though.
Handles: Look for retractable handles. Two bar handles are convenient to carry the luggage bag around but it may add to the weight of the bag.
Add-on features: Look for other features such as compartments in the inside, additional straps and so on. These features can be a great help when choosing the ideal bag.
Wheels: There are the spinning wheels, recessed wheels, two wheels or four wheels in the Rimowa Salsa. Spinning wheels mean more space it occupies. Wheeled bags give you convenience to move the bag around without much effort.
Color: Most choose black bags because even if they get dirty, it doesn’t show. But since all have black bags, there is a chance of mix up at airports where everybody is in a hurry. So, better choose a bright color.
Recommendations and reviews: Before you buy your travelling luggage bag, you can ask for recommendations from your friends or family. You can also read reviews to get a general ideal about different bags and brands.
