Before buying luggage, it’s important to consider how often you travel, the types of trips you take, and the kinds of items you usually pack. For example, if you tend to pack heavy items, you may want to use a few different travel bags instead of one large one so lifting and loading your luggage isn't as challenging.
If you want to access your laptop, headphones, or a good book on the go, the best carry-on luggage for you will be a traveler bag with pockets that allow you to get to those items easily. And for pandemic travel practices, you may also want pockets for spare masks, alcohol wipes and hand sanitizer.
Some trips require you to walk up and down stairs frequently or over uneven ground. For those, it can be handy to have a duffel bag that you can easily throw over your shoulder. You can also look for luggage sets that come with different luggage sizes so that you have a few bag options for different types of trips.
