What Luggage Should You Lug? 

Pro Tip: Try to pack everything into a carry-on suitcase for the trip to your destination. We recommend a rolling suitcase. Here are a few of our favorites:

An airline-size carry-on — about 22 inches long by 14 inches wide by 9 inches high — is ample for a week or so abroad, especially if you have access to a washer and dryer (like we do in Cornwall and Scotland). You can find a plethora of lightweight rollable bags at a variety of price points.

Cheryl’s favorite is the hard-side Bigger Carry-on from Away; Jean’s is a soft-side Samsonite. Others that our guests rave about include the Osprey Wheeled Carry-On and the Travelpro Platinum Elite You may also want to check out Beis Soft-sided Collapsible Carry-On, designed for over-packers.
