We also highlight specs for every bag we cover.Just how fast is your PC? Is your laptop’s battery up to snuff? Benchmarking software can help provide answers. Everything from TSA-approved locks and telescoping handles to main-compartment mesh pockets and compression straps were taken into account and weighed them against price. We offer options from under $100 to luxury bags worth the extra cost if you can swing it, with quality of materials and value-added features driving our choices. Our selection includes hardshell and soft-sided luggage from top brands with average customer ratings of four stars or more. The downside is that they aren't as compact fixed wheels and the majority of spinner bags don't have a break system so the suitcase may slide away too easily. Spinner wheels rotate 360 degrees, which makes luggage easy to maneuver rather than dragging it behind you all the time. Next up: four spinner wheels versus two traditional fixed wheels. The majority of hardshell suitcases lack outer pockets and some stand by the opinion that soft-sided luggage isn’t as durable. Polycarbonate is typically used for hardshell luggage and soft-sided suitcases are often made of ballistic nylon, and there are pros and cons of each. With that out of the way, the next decision to make is hardshell versus a soft-sided bag. To avoid unhappy surprises at the airport, always look up your airline’s luggage rules and restrictions when you purchase your ticket. Weight is another important factor, as just about every carrier sets maximum allowances for checked and carry-on luggage. Some international airlines will make you check a bag any larger, so if the idea of parting with your luggage gives you hives, your best bet is to buy something no taller than 21 inches high. The standard carry-on size for most major domestic airlines is 22 x 14 x 9 inches-the exterior dimensions including the wheels-though it can vary depending on the carrier. If you’re only buying one piece of luggage, consider how often you plan to travel internationally.
