Most people are oblivious when it comes to shopping for the ideal travel bags and luggage. They pick travel bags randomly without considering critical factors before buying. Travel bags are not candies; you have to evaluate certain aspects first before coming to a concrete decision on what to get. How often do you travel? Why are you travelling? How long will your trip take? Answers to these questions will guide you finding the right travel bag and luggage. Take the following aspects into account.

1. Space

Unfortunately not so many travel bags pass the space friendly mark. A long holiday means more days hence more travelling gears. You definitely don’t want to leave anything to chance. A space saving travel bag and luggage goes a long way in ensuring whatever you need for travelling fits with ease. If a bag has spacious compartments the better because small gears can be tucked in effortlessly.

2. Quality

Quality is what defines a bag. You can have the best design than your competitors but with a poor quality bag, people would be reluctant to purchase your brand. Analyze every single component from zippers, handles, wheels (if any), fabric used and straps (for carry-on bags) before buying.

3. Durability

Most frequent travelers have fallen into this hole. You are always shopping for a travel bag whenever you want to travel. This happens because you purchase luggage that is prone to tear and wear easily. If your travelling gears cannot fit in a carry-on luggage, get a tough checked in travel bag. Look out for strong handles, zippers and wheels as well.

4. Personality

Let’s be honest here, we all have different personalities and come from different backgrounds. What you find attractive and stylish others would have a different opinion. Some people simply want to portray class and style when travelling hence the go for expensive top quality brands. Others (where majority lies) want a not so expensive but quality and durable luggage.

5. Portability

How easy or hard is it to move with your luggage from one point to the other? Nobody wants a travel bag that feels like climbing Mt Everest when moving from the airport terminal to the parking lot. Get a bag that you can handle with no or less effort and can maneuver anywhere with ease. A lightweight luggage will give you peace when travelling.

6. Price

Many people shop on a budget. Setting a drawing line when it comes to purchasing travel bags is very understandable and normal. However, a great quality luggage is worth spending a little more. You don’t have to visit travel bag shops for repair or buying luggage on a regular basis. It is also important not to push yourself too hard if you cannot afford a certain bag.
