When To Travel With A Checked Luggage?

When should you travel with checked luggage and when should you travel without it? Please take into account the following 4 points for considerations.

1. Family Travel

When traveling with children, it is a given that parents will need a significant quantity of additional items. Young families typically have a difficult time traveling light, due to the necessity of bringing a variety of toys and games. In addition to the additional clothing items required for, "what if" scenarios.

In a situation like this, it is essential to make the most of your allowance for checked luggage, and if you are resourceful, you can reduce the number of heavy bags you bring, down to just one instead of the typical two or three.

 

2. Multi-Stop And Multi-Season Trips

If you are going to be traveling to a number of different places and need to pack for a variety of climates, you will have a difficult time traveling with less than 20 kilograms of luggage.

It's a well-known fact that winter coats are large and cumbersome, and if you want to bring more than two pairs of shoes with you, you'll need the additional space that a larger bag or case can provide.

Keep in mind that layering is your best friend, and will ensure that you have plenty of options to choose from when it comes to clothing in your large wheeled bag.

It is preferable to maximise your capacity and have everything you require, so that you can transition between locations in a comfortable manner, given the current circumstances.

 

3. An Active Winter Break

Check the policies of your airline to see what they consider to be, "sporting equipment". And how much it will cost you to check your snowboard or skis, if you want to take them with you on vacation during an active winter break.

Packing for a winter vacation, requires contending with bulky layers of clothing and shoes of a substantial surface area; consequently, the addition of space-saving packing cubes is the ideal combination for a trip of this nature.

Particularly in the event that you will be required to load your luggage onto a hotel transfer, once you have arrived at the resort.

 

4. Luxe Travel

Treating yourself to a luxurious vacation, while taking a break from all the exciting travel you've been doing?

Get rid of your spartan mentality and make the most of the opportunity to travel in comfort and elegance instead.

If you are flying in a premium cabin, the cost of your ticket most likely includes two bags with a combined weight of up to 23 kg. To make the most of your baggage allowance, pack an outfit appropriate for each occasions.

Of course, in the end, the reason for your travels was the primary factor in determining the type of luggage you brought with you.
