What luggage size should I buy?
Well, if you’re traveling by plane, you can easily check with the airline about the number of bags and the permissible size or weight for each bag—be it hand, cabin, or check-in luggage. Having this considered or not, even before you check with the airline, you must first find the right luggage size for your travel by closely looking into your itinerary. After all, your packing is all based on the places you visit, the number of days you stay, and the activities you intend to do on your trip.
So, here are some expertly curated guidelines for your luggage bags and their sizes. Let’s dive deep into it now!
How do I measure the bag size?
In most cases, even the wheels account for overall bag size. So, when you buy suitcases or cabin luggage with wheels, consider them when calculating the sizes. Also, handles count as well when measuring the length of the travel bag. Just in case the bag you wish to buy has extendable pockets or compartments, ensure you consider their length and width—because when you pack at its fullest capacity, the size must not be a challenge.
What travel luggage bag size to buy?
Listed below are different luggage sizes that you may consider when planning your next travel.
1. Weekender bags
These are duffle bags that are suitable for weekend trips or travel that has short durations, like 2-3 days. These bags look sleek and are very comfortable to carry. On average, these bags’ size ranges from 60x30x25 to 65x35x25 centimeters. They have 1-2 compartments with zip closures.

2. Cabin luggage bags
As the name implies, these bags are carried in the plane cabins. The maximum cabin luggage size you can carry to your cabin is 56x36x23 centimeters. You can carry this size or smaller ones than this with fewer items or travel essentials packed—like toiletries, emergency dresses, a few books, snacks, etc. These bags are not necessarily cloth bags or handbags. It can be suitcases or wheeled luggage bags.
3. Large backpacks
In general, backpacks are varied in size—large, medium, or small. Most solo travelers who plan for long travel can choose large backpacks. It is easy for them to hold the maximum of their travel needs and easy to carry on their shoulders.
Otherwise, if you consider a backpack as additional luggage to your suitcases, then medium or small sizes would suffice.
4. Tote handbags
The word ‘tote’ means carry. Ideally, these are easy-to-carry handbags or hand luggage bags. As per the current trend, these bags are mostly preferred by women for their daily or travel use. For daily use in the office or at work, mini-tote bags are adequate. For travel, jumbo tote bags help.
The average size of a big or jumbo tote bag is 60x30x20 centimeters, which is almost equal to the size of a duffle bag. Here is the link to buy the best-in-class personalized tote handbags for women!

Travelers with huge groups of people or those who are planning a camping trip can make use of these roomy luggage bags with pretty large sizes of about 80x50x30 centimeters.
