What Type Of Luggage To Select

By Poppy Hill


Booking your holiday and arranging what to clothes to bring with you on your vacation would all depend on what type of luggage you intend to take with you on your trip. Generally there are two options, the first would be a suitcase the other a back pack. Some people have strong opinions on both types but neither is right or wrong just personal choice.

Passengers who travel using back packs tend to like them as this type of luggage allows them to use their hands while their luggage is on their backs. No need to watch over the luggage piece on the floor in airport or railway lounges. Also means you can use your free hands to take photos when out and about or if you wish to call someone you can do so without the need to be looking out for your suitcase. One of the big disadvantages would the sheer weight of the pack on your back. One of the main difficulties of carrying around this type of luggage would be that you can not see what is behind you or who and if you hit them with your back pack as you try to go through the gates of London underground for example. Anyone travelling on a bus from the airport into town may have trouble trying to find a seat for them and their luggage.

What about buying a suitcase then for your travels. Depending on your journey you can carry on a small suitcase which fits in above your seat on the air plane. This is a perfect solution for those travelling for a few days only and do not wish to wait at the end of a flight for their suitcase to arrive on the carousel. Otherwise a medium suitcase will be a great idea for most types of holidays and will fit into the hold on the plane which saves you having to carry the suitcase around the airport and onto the flight. One disadvantage is carrying a suitcase up and down stairs as the luggage may be heavy. Great for using on lifts and elevators though.

Passengers have their own theory about back packs and suitcases and which one is the best for travelling. Packs tend to be used by students as opposed to suitcases. Where as families and business tend to use cases and feel they are treated a bit better upon arrival at airports and hotels.

Travellers are unsure during the day what to place their items when on holiday. A shoulder bag could be used as this can be worn either over your shoulder or across your shoulder and front. Some people may find this uncomfortable on their necks if the bag is weighed down with sun lotions, water etc. You may consider a small bag pack which may solve your problem of neck pains as the weight will be distributed over your back and shoulders and also holds a lot.

You decide on what type you prefer and also take into account what type of holiday you have booked. The choice is yours at the end of the day.
