One simply cannot explain the annoyance of dealing with improperly sized luggage. Where a smaller suitcase may make you skip some stuff by necessity, needlessly large luggage may result in your items getting jumbled inside. Moreover, you will be paying extra for oversized luggage. You better save on these unnecessary expenses for your next trip!
On the one hand, carrying and handling large suitcases is an extreme struggle, causing frustration. On the other hand, a fully loaded small suitcase (beyond its limit) will be on the verge of tearing or bursting at times. With the right size of the suitcase by your side, you can experience ease in packing and manoeuvring. Rest assured, your essentials will be safely stowed away.
Thinking about a glut of varieties available, choosing the suitable style and size can be puzzling, especially if you are short on time. From a weekend retreat to a months-long vacation, spending holidays with grandparents to attending a business conference, every journey brings a very different packing list. Consequently, you need to keep the following primary factors in mind during the selection of the luggage:
- Give attention to your packing habits, whether you prefer to keep things minimal or bring lots of extras.
- How many days will you be travelling for?
- What is the type of trip you're planning?
- Never miss out on airline size standards, as aeroplanes come with precisely defined weight limit and dimension requirements for luggage. For instance, carry-on luggage should be small enough to be placed within the cabin, and check-in luggage must be underweight.
Understanding the importance of picking the perfect suitcase size per travel needs, JLY is here to guide you through along with offering an extensive collection of small to medium to large suitcase, carry-ons, and more.
Different Sizes in Suitcases - Length of Stay
For overall travel comfort and efficiency, JLY brings you three sizes, each with its advantages. You can choose from our single or trio sets, available in an array of vibrant colours and sleek metallic styles. We've got you covered.
Small Suitcases
Small carry-on luggage offers convenience and cost-effectiveness that larger suitcases may not always match. They can be manoeuvred through bustling airports or lifted to overhead cabins with minimal effort. Saving you from long queues at the check-in counter and waiting time at baggage claim seems to be incredibly helpful. Further, you will pack what you truly need, ensuring more efficient packing.
Free yourself from the issues of handling cumbersome luggage!
Anyone travelling for only a night or a weekend can make use of our sturdy, stylish, and compact small suitcases, designed in compliance with airline luggage rules that states 10-15kg as upper limit for weight. With proper packing, you will get enough space to keep belongings for a tour of up to 5 days.
In particular, this carry-on suitcase from our JLY UK collection is a standout, crafted with a lightweight yet durable hardshell made from 100% German Bayer Polycarbonate. It is equipped with thoughtful features for extra convenience and excellent organisation, with the waterproof pocket for wet/dry separation being particularly handy.
It fits within the size limits for EasyJet and many other British airlines, and being lightweight allows you to maximise your weight allowance for personal items. And, how can we not mention the exquisitely detailed finishing that fetches it a luxurious touch?
How About the Strictest Carry-On Limit?
If you're flying on airlines like Ryanair with tighter size limits for carry-ons, many standard suitcases won't fit. But don't worry—our Executive Lightweight Small Cabin Suitcase is not only sleek and functional but also tailored to meet these compact dimensions while still providing ample packing space. You can also say goodbye to those extra luggage fees!
Medium Suitcases
Big enough to pack extra clothing and small enough to be feasible, medium suitcases are easy to handle. They fall within the size limits of standard checked baggage, avoiding excess baggage charges. They are ideal for short stay trips. In fact, the medium suitcase is useful as check-in luggage, with a weight limit of approximately 23 kilograms or even up to 32 kg.
When it comes to short-stay trips, striking the perfect balance between packing space and ease of handling is crucial. Optimal for trips up to 10 days, our 24-inch medium suitcases are highly recommended. A standout choice is the Matte Metallic Suitcase - (68cm), featuring a premium hard shell with a sophisticated metallic finish that gives it an elevated appearance.
Equipped with thoughtful organisational features for easy and efficient packing, this suitcase also features a convenient expandable zipper later. It comes in handy for fitting in extra shopping on your way back, giving you a 17% increase in volume when you unzip the middle.
Large Suitcases
Heading on a long trip for weeks or months? Opt for a large suitcase with ample space to fit everything in one place, perfect for trips lasting 10+ days. These suitcases are designed for check-in weights up to 32 kg and more, ensuring you have enough room for all your essentials.
The basics of a practical large suitcase should include features such as spacious compartments, pockets, dividers, and compression straps to keep belongings secure. Multi-directional spinner wheels and adjustable handles make navigating city streets easy and comfortable, especially when dealing with heavy luggage.
All JLY large check-in luggage not only covers these essentials but also features optimised spacing and robust construction to withstand rigorous travel demands.
Additionally, we offer suitcases with advanced features. Here are some tips to consider to make the most of your purchase:
- Select models with expandable designs for added flexibility to accommodate extra items.
- Choose lightweight suitcases for easy lifting and manoeuvrability without compromising storage space for your personal items.
- Use TSA locks to ensure peace of mind and secure storage of your belongings.
- Consider zipperless options for enhanced security and convenient access, eliminating the hassle of dealing with zippers.
Smart Packing Tips for Organized Travel
- Always start with penning down things to make a proper list (per categories) and keep track of everything you must have.
- Consider the climate, check the forecast, and pack accordingly.
- Pick clothes that can be mixed & matched to create different styles.
- Roll shirts and jeans rather than folding them to save space and prevent wrinkles.
- Organisation is a paramount factor, so one must choose luggage with a well-designed and proportioned interior featuring compartmental separations, small zipper pockets, and compression straps to keep everything neatly in one place. Also, things will not be tossed about inside the suitcase.
- For extra convenience, find suitcases with wet and dry separation compartments that let you keep wet towels separately without making other stuff wet.
- Use packing cubes of multiple sizes to separate and keep your items tidy.
- Having a suitcase with multidirectional wheels takes the hassle of dragging heavyweight, as they enable easy movement with even a light pull.
- If you tend to carry devices on tour or going on a business trip, it is advisable to prefer carry-ons featuring a front pocket dedicated to keeping tablets and laptops at easy access.
- For peace of mind, consider suitcases featuring the TSA lock. This lock allows airport security to open it without damaging it and keeps your belongings secure.
- Do you like bringing back souvenirs, or do you have a habit of shopping and bringing more items on the way back? Use cases with expandable features. They save you from the hassles of carrying bulky luggage while retaining the flexibility to compress it with ease.
- Opt for lightweight cases if you want to save more weight allowance for your items.
- Weigh your suitcase to ensure it observes airline weight limitations. The trick is to opt for lightweight suitcases, as they save and give you more weight for your items.
