FAQ

What features should I look for in a carry-on suitcase? + -

When choosing a carry-on suitcase, look for features such as durable materials, lightweight construction, multiple compartments for organization, smooth-rolling wheels, a sturdy telescoping handle, and TSA-approved locks.

Are hard-shell or soft-shell carry-on suitcases better? + -

Both hard-shell and soft-shell carry-on suitcases have their advantages. Hard-shell suitcases offer better protection for fragile items and are generally more water-resistant. Soft-shell suitcases are typically lighter, more flexible, and can expand to fit more items.

How can I maximize space in my carry-on suitcase? + -

To maximize space in your carry-on suitcase, use packing cubes to organize your items, roll your clothes instead of folding them, and take advantage of every inch by filling shoes with smaller items. Additionally, consider wearing bulkier clothing items during travel to save space.

What materials are best for carry-on suitcases? + -

The best materials for carry-on suitcases include polycarbonate and ABS plastic for hard-shell options due to their durability and lightweight properties. For soft-shell suitcases, ballistic nylon and polyester are popular choices because they are strong, flexible, and resistant to wear and tear.

How do I maintain and clean my carry-on suitcase? + -

To maintain and clean your carry-on suitcase, regularly wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. For fabric suitcases, use a fabric cleaner or spot-clean stains. Keep the wheels free of debris and occasionally lubricate them for smooth rolling. Store your suitcase in a cool, dry place when not in use.
