Lightweight and easy to handle: cabin luggage from travelite
Weight plays a particularly important role when travelling by air. However, it’s just as important to ensure your luggage is the correct dimensions. For instance, most airlines only allow hand luggage with maximum dimensions of 55 x 40 x 20 cm and a maximum weight of 8 kg in the cabin. The exact regulations do, however, depend on the airline, which is why you should check the details carefully before your trip.
You’ll find all the important information in our hand luggage guide.
The total weight, in particular, is often an issue, as the suitcases naturally have their own weight, which can quickly push up the weight of your hand luggage. With our hand luggage range, we’ve made sure to strike the perfect balance between a lightweight design and robust and durable construction. That’s why our hard-shell suitcases weigh an average of 2.8 kg and our soft-sided luggage an average of 2.1 kg for size S. In this size, our lightest soft-sided luggage model Skaii weighs just 1.9 kg and our Air Base series weighs just 2.1 kg.
We’ve also taken the maximum dimensions into account in our timeless designs, so there won’t be any nasty surprises at the airport. The compact size makes it easier for you to carry your hand luggage, especially when you’re in a hurry.
What should you look out for when choosing a carry-on suitcase?
A suitcase should accompany us on a journey, not hold us back. Nothing is more annoying on holiday than a carry-on trolley that we can’t rely on. Carry-on suitcases from travelite therefore tick all the boxes, so you don’t have to worry about your luggage.
Durable material
Our cabin luggage is made from robust materials that can withstand external conditions. For hard-shell suitcases, for example, we use aluminium or sturdy plastic such as ABS. These protect both against environmental factors such as rain and against impact damage. The soft-sided suitcases are made from durable polyester, which combines durability with flexibility. We carry out regular product tests to ensure high-quality workmanship and long-lasting quality.
Secure closure system
Many of travelite’s suitcases feature an integrated TSA lock. This secure combination lock not only protects your luggage perfectly against theft, but also makes going through customs at the airport much easier. Other suitcase ranges also feature a secure combination lock. The concealed address panel offers ideal protection – ensuring your confidential details are kept safe from prying eyes.
Agile wheels
To ensure a smooth and relaxed journey, cabin-sized suitcases should have not only a carrying handle but also manoeuvrable and robust wheels. Our models feature rubber-coated 360° double wheels, which not only enable sturdy transport across a wide variety of surfaces but also guarantee the ability to change direction at a moment’s notice.
Telescopic handle
A cabin suitcase with a sturdy, well-designed telescopic handle makes it easier to manoeuvre through busy airports, railway stations or urban environments and can be conveniently folded away and stowed when not in use.
Clever organisation
Limited space should be used as sensibly as possible, which is why an efficient layout of the interior compartments is important. To ensure your luggage stays organised, both when opening the suitcase and during transport, our suitcases from travelite feature a smart compartmentalisation system. Many of our suitcases have external pockets, allowing quick access to important documents and items.
When choosing your cabin bag, you should ensure that it complies with the specified dimensions for cabin baggage, which may vary from airline to airline. If you stick to these dimensions, you’ll be able to stow your hand luggage suitcase easily under the seat or in the overhead luggage compartment.
Hand luggage: What are the advantages of soft-shell and hard-shell luggage?
Soft-shell luggage
- Ideally suited as hand luggage and for travelling by car
- Easier to stow away thanks to the flexible material
- Adjustable capacity thanks to the stretchy material
Hard-shell suitcases
- Usually the right choice for long journeys or frequent flyers
- Significantly more robust and extremely durable
- Even delicate and easily breakable items can be transported safely
Soft-shell suitcases are ideal as hand luggage, as they are generally lighter and can be stowed more easily in tight overhead lockers or under the seat in front of you, especially when the aeroplane is full.
However, hard-shell suitcases are also a popular choice for carry-on luggage, as they offer excellent protection for your belongings and can withstand the pressure of fully loaded overhead bins as well as the general wear and tear of travel.
Which option you ultimately choose depends on your personal preferences and your preferred way of travelling.
