We can rediscover a nearby destination or venture to new parts of the world, but what's really important is choosing the perfect suitcase to accompany us on our adventures. Comfort when travelling is an essential factor, but what other aspects should we take into account?
The guarantee
The suitcase is the essential accessory to start your holiday off on the right foot and your choice will depend on the type and duration of your trip. However, the first thing to consider when buying a suitcase is the guarantee. In SusMaletas.com all models of suitcases have a minimum warranty of 2 years covering all types of manufacturing defects and not damage caused by misuse. Please note that the duration of the warranty will vary depending on the model of suitcase.
Rigid or soft
The material of manufacture is another aspect to take into account. Hard suitcases are perfect for those who travel frequently by plane and are usually made of polycarbonate or ABS, materials that guarantee greater resistance to all kinds of impacts very common when boarding. In addition, Samsonite's patented curv material has made it possible to manufacture the lightest and most resistant cases on the market.
On the other hand, soft or flexible suitcases are recommended for weekend getaways or car trips. They are usually made of polyester or nylon, allowing a greater lightness and adaptation of the luggage.
Size
This factor will be relevant depending on the duration of our trip and we can differentiate between small, medium, large and extra-large suitcases.
- Small or cabin suitcases are those measuring between 50 and 55 centimetres and which the vast majority of airlines allow you to take on board at no extra cost. Take a look at the cabin luggage section where you will find a wide range of models.
- Medium suitcases usually range in size from 56 to 70 centimetres and are recommended for a one or two-week trip or even a couple's getaway. Choose the model you like best in our online shop.
- Large suitcases, between 71 and 80 centimetres, are very practical for long stays of more than three weeks.
- Extra-large suitcases are those that exceed 80 centimetres and are a very functional option for travelling comfortably with the family or planning long trips. A good choice would be the Samsonite Fuze 82 cm suitcase.
Mobility
Should I choose wheels or a shoulder bag? This factor will depend on the traveller's taste, as some prefer more functional bags while others prefer the convenience of wheels.
Colour and design
There are different colours to suit different tastes. What is clear is that black suitcases abound in the luggage belts and if you opt for an original design and colour will be easier to identify your suitcase.
Locking system
If you're travelling to the USA, it's best to choose a suitcase with a TSA locking system. This way airport security will be able to open your suitcase with a master key without causing any damage to your luggage.
