Despite the benefits, carry-on luggage does come with certain constraints. Space limitations demand thoughtful packing, stricter guidelines including liquids, and adhering to airline size and weight regulations for cabin luggage is crucial in avoiding unexpected fees or a last-minute shift to hold luggage. To ensure you comply and avoid these last-minute issues, make sure you double-check your airline information to ensure your luggage will fit their restrictions.

Advantages Of Checked Luggage: Room To Roam
The allure of hold luggage lies in the abundance of space and the freedom it affords:
- Extra Space: Enjoy the liberty to pack to your heart's content, whether it be fashion choices or favourite amenities.
- Unrestricted Liquids: No need to rely on travel-sized toiletries; with hold luggage, you can bring your preferred full-sized products.
- Ease of Travel: Cruise through the airport and transfers without lugging a suitcase around, leaving your hands free for a coffee or duty-free browsing.
Our top pick for the spacious yet chic traveller is the Holiday 8 case. This roomy, stylish piece is designed to cater to your every travel need, all while making a fashion statement. It also comes complete with 4 dual wheels for extra ease of movement and a combination TSA lock.
Considerations For Checked Luggage
Although it provides more packing space, larger and heavier bags can be more difficult to manoeuvre and may incur additional charges if they exceed the airline's weight limit. The risk of delayed or lost luggage, as well as the time spent at the baggage carousel and check-in desk, are also worth considering when weighing your options. Make sure to double-check your airline’s restrictions to curb any last-minute issues. Depending on your airline, we have lots of information in our blog section regarding individual airline restrictions.
