Luggage Tips & Recommendations
Here are some things to consider when preparing your bags before going on vacation, shopping for luggage, and general packing tips. This is all based upon what we’ve learned through extensive traveling over the last several years.
We thought this would be worth sharing as we have gone through a lot (way too much) of luggage. Thanks to our experiences that include countless hotel changes, plus hundreds of hours dragging our luggage through airports, train stations, and cities, we’ve learned a lot. We thought we’d share some things to look for looking to buy new luggage, some good brands, some brands to avoid, and other various tidbits about luggage (specifically, carry-on luggage…you’ll read why that’s all we own).
Getting the “right” luggage is important, so let’s dig right into with our recommendations. For starters, we recommend doing only carry-on luggage for any trip that includes multiple destinations. This is not important if you’re traveling to Walt Disney World and will be staying in the same hotel the entire trip. If you’re simply moving luggage from the airport to Disney’s Magical Express to a hotel, it doesn’t really matter if you have a larger bag or a couple of bags. (If that’s the case for you, skip down to the ‘What to Buy’ section for recommendations.)
With that said, we still do a single carry-on bag for every trip, and that includes vacations to Walt Disney World. We are big time believers in only traveling with carry-on size luggage. Traveling with more or larger bags not only costs more (checked bag fees!), but is unnecessary. We’ve traveled to Europe and Asia for 14-day trips without doing checked bags, so it’s entirely possible for a trip to Florida.
When we travel to Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, or Hong Kong Disneyland, on the other hand, we are always doing more than visiting those parks. That means a lot of time on subways and in commute with our luggage. If you’ve ever been in any subway station at rush hour, you know just how stressful it would be with a bunch of bulky luggage. Travel expert Rick Steves turned us on to the idea, and we totally agree with his philosophy and rationale.
You may think taking only carry-on luggage is “impossible,” but it’s really not. This philosophy encompasses not just your carry-on roller bag, but also your personal item. As I’m big into photography, my personal item is a camera bag, and my carry-on contains a backpack camera, tripod, and other photography trinkets. So already, a lot of my space is reserved for photography equipment, and I still manage to do it. The key is not taking junk that isn’t essential. This doesn’t mean only taking one pair of underwear and wearing the same stuff over and over (I pack clothes for every day, and that usually includes dress clothes and shoes). You just need to pack efficiently and not take things that are unnecessary.
Still, some people won’t be able to do this for whatever reason, and that’s fine. It may not be practical for parents or those with special circumstances, but for most people, it is possible. It’s just a matter of willingness. Try packing this way before just assuming it isn’t possible. It’s quite liberating.
Also, it’s worth noting that this “carry it on” advice doesn’t mean carry a lot of stuff but avoid paying checked bag fees. In fact, whether you check these bags or carry them onto the plane really doesn’t make a huge difference (although we prefer carrying them on). The point is to travel light, with an amount that can easily be carried around (and the carry-on allowance is a good proxy for how much stuff this is).
We mention this because, invariably, whenever we’re going through security at the airport in Orlando, we see parents juggling strollers, their carry-on luggage and personal items, and luggage “belonging” to each of their kids (who are entitled to a carry-on allowance, but can’t carry the bags themselves). They look miserable. Checked bag fees have made people try to carry-on everything possible, inconveniencing them at the airport. The point of the above isn’t to avoid checked bag fees, it’s to avoid stress and being a sherpa while moving around places.
What to Buy?
In the past 10 years, we have gone through a lot of luggage. My first couple of suitcases as an adult were the cheapest plain models carried by Marshall’s or TJ Maxx, and after a couple years of light travel, each broke. Once we started traveling more regularly, I decided to invest in nice luggage. My first purchase was a Tumi Alpha Carry-on, which was ridiculously expensive, but I bought into the name brand hype.
After a little over a year of using this bag, I became dissatisfied with it. It wasn’t as well-built as the price would have suggested, and I highly doubted it would last years. In short, I felt ripped off. Sarah now uses the bag, and has had to have it repaired a number of times (as of 2016, the bag is on its last leg). In my opinion, Tumi is now resting on the laurels of its “luxury” name, having established a certain brand cachet. That doesn’t do a whole lot for me, so I will never purchase another Tumi bag, nor do I recommend it to even the most well-off and frequent travelers.
When it came time for me to purchase a replacement bag for the Tumi, I did a ton of research, and spent inordinate amounts of time on FlyerTalk, which is a great forum for getting opinions of other regular travelers on a range of topics. The brand that kept coming up in discussions of luggage was TravelPro, which is the top brand of luggage used by flight crews. (Next time you’re at the airport, look at the bags they are pulling behind; guarantee you’ll see the little Eiffel Tower logo on at least 50% of the suitcases.) After a lot of reading, I realized TravelPro was the brand of choice for many serious travelers who wanted something high quality, but didn’t want to pay exorbitant prices for a flashy logo.
I took the plunge and purchased the TravelPro Flight Crew 22-Inch Rollaboard. It cost around $175 (currently, it’s $150 on Amazon), which I felt wasn’t too bad of a price by something that would last a long time. That was 3 years ago. It’s now 2016, and I’ve traveled 200+ days with that suitcase since buying it, and it’s still in near-perfect condition. It’ll easy last me another decade, which I’d say is pretty impressive given how much we travel and how hard I am on luggage. The thing is built like a nylon tank, and all at less than one-third the cost of the inferior Tumi. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about luggage and travels a decent amount. There’s a good chance it’ll be the last suitcase you ever buy.
If you care more about brand names and want something that looks “classier”, this Briggs & Riley carry-on has come highly recommended to me. Personally, that seems like a waste of money (and honestly, I don’t think it looks any nicer than my TravelPro luggage). If you do care about brand names, though, go for that. (For what it’s worth, no one is impressed by Louis Vuitton luggage–to the contrary, LV owners are considered tacky jokes among seasoned travelers.)
A lot of these frequent fliers also recommended the $99 Kirkland carry-on roller at Costco. I didn’t see either of these bags in person, just throwing them out there as they receive a lot of online praise. LL Bean, Victorinox, and Samsonsite also came up from time to time in discussions of best options.
Even if you travel once or twice a year, you’ll find yourself replacing cheap-o luggage more often than if you just spent a little more and got a nicer bag. I realize everyone’s needs and budget are different, and not everyone needs something built like a tank. Marshall’s and TJ Maxx do have great options from time to time, and even something like a Samsonite bag is going to last most people a very long time, and it won’t break the bank. I would not recommend American Tourister (based on both personal experience and widespread reports of low quality) or other “cutesy” luggage found in many stores.
Luggage serves a critical purpose, and isn’t a place to make a fashion statement or show your personality with some type of ‘rad’ design in a non-functional bag. That’s not to say that there’s anything wrong with colorful designs, but when your luggage breaks on vacation, you might be wishing you got something practical instead of pretty.
Beyond these specific recommendations, here are some general tips regarding carry-on bags:
- Carry-on luggage should have wheels…unless you’re backpacking through Europe
- We highly recommend packing cubes and compression bags to save space and organize your suitcase.
- Unless you have a specific need for it, don’t get a spinner (two wheel in-line rollers are best)
- Unless you have a specific need for it, get soft-side luggage, not hard shell
- Don’t get what you don’t need–extra pockets, suiters, etc., all take up valuable internal volume, and if you don’t need these things, they are a waste of space
- Use luggage tags that stand out; black luggage tends to be accidentally “stolen” due to people confusing luggage.
- Look for ballistic nylon and some type of water resistance
- “Materials and defects” warranties are virtually worthless
As far as personal items go, I don’t really have any useful recommendations. I typically carry a camera bag as my personal item (if you plan on using a camera bag, here are my recommendations for those). For non-photographers, I think going with a small backpack is the best option if you will be on the move, as it’s easier than balancing another bag on top of your roller. If you want a tote, my recommendation would be to get whatever one goes with the suitcase you purchase. In the case of the Travelpro suitcases recommended above, that’s the Travelpro Crew Tote.
In terms of what else you might consider packing, we have a lot of ideas for travel essentials and things that will improve your vacation in our Unique Packing List. Some of these things will save space, while others will take up more space (but ultimately improve the quality of your trip). Pack accordingly.
Overall, everyone is going to have different needs, preferences, and all of that. The two big takeaways from this article should be: 1) don’t overpack–try to take as little luggage as possible, especially for multi-stop trips, and; 2) spending a little more on quality luggage that will stand the test of time will save you money in the long run! There are some other tips in there, as well, but those are the big ones that we think will benefit anyone taking a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, and beyond!

Your Thoughts…
Do you have a specific brand or piece of luggage that you recommend? Any brands you don’t recommend? Any other tips regarding luggage? Hearing from you is half the fun, so please share any of your thoughts in the comments!
One other recommendation for choosing a carry on bag is to choose a bag that international size. In short, international size is more square in its dimensions as opposed to other carry on bags. This will ensure that the bag will fit in overhead bins regardless of airline or aircraft, excluding regional jets. I found from time to time even carry on bags that are more rectangular in dimensions and fall within the airlines’ carry on size guidelines are sometimes difficult to fit in an overhead.
Great tip. It’s crazy how much sizes of overhead bins on domestic flights–even on the same airline–vary.
I can vouch for the Costco Kirkland bag… certainly not near the status symbol of the others mentioned, but we’ve had ours for over 3 years now, and have taken 2 flights a year minimum in those 3 years, and they still look brand new. We decided to try them figuring that if they didn’t work out, for $99, no big loss. They turned out to be everything we need and more. The size, the weight, the handle, the wheels.. all work great for us! I also think that anything you carry on has a much better chance of “surviving” longer… if those airport luggage handlers don’t get their hands on it, you can extend it’s life by years!!
Great to hear! Totally agree about keeping the luggage out of the hands of luggage handlers. Nothing against them, that’s just the way the airlines have them handle the bags, unfortunately.
I buy Burton (the snowboard company) bags. They are unique and really well made. I have had the same Burton Cargo bag for almost 20 years and have taken it on almost every trip I’ve made (car trip and airplane trips) since buying it. I also have a large double deck bag for when I am going on long trips needing several types of clothing and will be checking a bag as well as a small wheeled carry on size bag.
Each bag has been amazing and have withstood a lot of rough handling with hardly a scratch. They also come in a multitude of colors/patterns. I’ve never seen the same bag so its extremely easy to find should you check a bag.
I’m loosely familiar with Burton from my skiing days, and it always seemed like they made good (albeit expensive) stuff with some real personality. Good to hear that their luggage stands the test of time.
Love all your posts on how you pack/travel! I traveled strictly by car/boat growing up, as my father absolutely refused to even consider the idea of stepping foot on an airplane. I didn’t discover the wonder of flight until 10 years ago, and since then, have only flown a handful of times. I’m such a rookie…
I just booked a weeklong trip to Colorado yesterday, and this is the first flight where I’m having to weigh the pros and cons of checking bags. I’ve always done carry-on only, but this time I’m having to take not just the personal things I need for my week, but all the gear I need to photograph a destination wedding at the end of the trip. Luckily, I have 6 months to figure this out. I’m sure I’ll be reading these articles a few more times between now and then!!
I assume if you’re going to Colorado, you probably are getting a rental car at the airport. In that case, I don’t think the advice in this post regarding carry-ons is all that important. If there’s stuff you need that you might be otherwise leaving behind, take the extra bag(s).
Great article! People always think i’m crazy but I rarely check a bag you just have to plan your outfits better and leave behind the multiple choices of clothing. I know you said you recommend soft luggage over hard but I have used my Heys Luggage for over 5 years now and it’s awesome. I’ve had to check it at the gate before and watched them slam it all around outside and I was thankful for that kevlar shell because I had my expensive hair dryer in there. Plus it’s houndstooth with a neon green piping so people always know where to find me! They make girly and strong luggage it doesn’t all have to be boring!
For visitors to Tokyo Disney, I recommend using the Takuhaibin/Takyyubin delivery service if you’re moving around a lot. When you check out of your hotel, tell reception where you’re going, pay a small fee, and your luggage will be delivered for you. I travelled the length and breadth of Japan for over three weeks in 2011 and used it countless times. It frees you from having to carry your luggage around and makes using public transport a breeze. When you arrive at your next hotel in the evening, your bags are waiting for you (either at reception, or in many cases already in your room).
Every hotel participates, as well as nearly all the convenience stores. The Japanese use it extensively whenever they travel. Like everything in Japan, it’s efficient and extremely reliable.
That’s an awesome tip for anyone heading to Tokyo. Thanks for sharing!
Firstly, a big thanks to you and your blog. All the great information in your posts and photos helped me greatly on a recent trip to WDW. Particularly beneficial was your advice on renting DVC points.
On the topic of taking carry-on, however, I see the obvious pros of not checking anything in, but I also see just as many cons. The cons are why I always check my luggage even though I’ve travelled to many different countries and juggled my luggage on many different occasions. It’s also worth mentioning that checking in luggage doesn’t necessarily mean carrying unnecessary weight or traveling with more than one bag.
The topic of carrying liquids has already been mentioned and I agree that it can pose difficulties for contact lense wearers. It also poses issues for people with liquid medicines and those who use specific bath products. The miniatures can be expensive and they don’t always contain enough product for a family. For me it is less hassle waiting 15mins for my luggage at the carousel, than it is trying to track down a convenience store that stocks deodorant and toothpaste on the day I arrive.
The second thing worth considering is that many international airlines outside the USA have strict weight limits on carry-on baggage. I’ve flown to on well over 20 different international airlines, and I have had my carry-on weighed countless times. My national carrier caps carry-on at a fairly small 7kgs. On my flight leaving LAX last month I saw dozens (literally) of frustrated travellers being forced to check their carry-on because it was too heavy.
Lastly, there is nothing that irritates me more than carrying my family’s singular backpack onto a plane and discovering that there is no room above our seats to put it. It is one of my few pet travel peeves that people are carrying more and more onto planes and overhead space is becoming like a fine commodity. People push to be first onto the plane, it slows down boarding considerably, and airlines are even learning that they can charge for priority boarding to capitalise on this. On the airlines where there are strict carry-on weights this is rarely an issue because most people check their bags.
Just my 2cents…
I can understand your pet peeve, but I think the blame falls squarely on the airlines in introducing a fee that has directly caused this behavior.
When I went to Ireland, they weighted all my carryon bags and put a tag on them to make sure we were within the weight limit. I was somewhat close on my camera backpack since it also has my ipad and other stuff in it. We traveled a couple days earlier than the rest the group so we warned them.
I normally also check bags, most the time by the time I make it to the baggage carousal within a few minutes my bags are available. Going places is not the issue — it is coming home from vacation, I like to shop!
Sometimes for extended trips you just need more than you can do with a carry on. We had an unusual travel schedule where we took a Mediterranean cruise in November & then hit Athens & Paris on the way home. It required clothing options for extreme weather. It was 90+ degrees in Egypt and then 35 degrees in Paris. Just couldn’t do it all in a carry on.
We took full size checked luggage on the cruise. When we got to Paris they had this luggage storage area where we could check in our big bags and then We just had our small carry on bags to haul around the city. It was very convenient and easy & we had everything we needed for each leg of our trip.
What a great idea for a blog entry. I completely agree about the carry on method only. The only thing I worry about on the backside is bringing home souvenirs.
why don’t you reccommend the 4 wheel spinners- i have had several samsonite 2 wheels, but really love the 4 wheel spinner from them i just purchased.
They are fine for the airport and other basic moving (perhaps even preferable), but once you start walking around cities with your luggage, they aren’t so great.
Good advice on packing light! It is especially true that you don’t want to be dealing with international (or national) subways & trains with a lot of heavy luggage. My only international trips have been for months at time with a home base, so I had to pack a bit heavier, but I always take my carry-on size backpack and use that as I travel within the area.
Another tip – I think your advice for luggage not being a burden at WDW also goes when cruising for the most part. Like WDW you often just take a transport bus from the airport to the cruise ship, so your luggage isn’t a burden in that respect. The big key for a cruise – Make sure you know what luggage storage space is available on your ship. Taking Disney Cruise Line for example, the Disney Wonder has shorter beds than the other 3 ships, so you can’t fit luggage that is as tall underneath it. If your luggage doesn’t fit “hidden away” in the stateroom it will quickly become a burden. 🙂
I guess most of the people here don’t wear contacts. I am an extremely light packer, but my biggest issue with carrying on a bag is my contact solution. If I’m traveling for more than a week it’s almost impossible to get by with less than 100 milliliters of contact solution.
I would highly recommend a Samsonite bag I’ve had mine for going on 12 years and traveling on an airplane at least 4 times a year and it is still holding on strong.
I don’t wear contacts, so I really don’t know, but I assumed contact solution could be purchased pretty much anywhere. Don’t places like CVS and Walgreen’s sell it?
True. But its often very expensive in convenient places like hotel gift shops. Or else you have to find a pharmacy, which can be a pain if you’re relying solely on public transit. Plus you then have to throw it away before you leave. Usually for a short trip it’s no problem, but if I’m checking my bag it’s usually because of liquids (contact solution and usually sunscreen). I use the same carry on suitcase no matter what.
That being said I completely agree with your tips. I don’t think there is anything worse than finally getting to your vacation destination and then having to wait 30+ minutes for your bag to come down the carousel.
TSA will now allow you to carry full size contact solutions through security with you. Make sure to have it out because they will test it to make sure it’s contact solution. 🙂
This is what I was going to say! I’ve traveled with a full size bottle of contact solution in my carry-on bag many times without any problems. TSA will do a quick test on it, then give it back. It counts as a medical liquid.
is this still valid? we have an upcoming WDW trip and 3 of us wear contacts – the little travel bottles don’t cut it!
My parents travel a lot (especially now that they are complete empty nesters since we not only left the house for college but graduated and got jobs out of state) and they love Eagle Creek bags. They both own most parts of their packing system. Using the packing system and some compression bags I packed for a four month study abroad in Italy. That suitcase was huge and doesn’t get a ton of use but my smaller one and the ones my parents own that are used constantly are in great shape still. That includes two European and countless domestic trips for my parents (actually, the first Europe trip my mom didn’t get a new suitcase and stole one of mine…it got ripped up the back while being handled by somebody so my mom got me my smaller eagle creek then)
In registering for my upcoming wedding my fiancé and I put Samsomite on our registry. We saw it icon person and it seemed quite sturdy and like it would last awhile. And if nobody gets it for us then we get that Bed Bath & Beyond discount for things people didn’t get us that are on our registry!
Oh dear, I’m guilty, guilty, guilty!! I’ll stipulate that Tumi is an obnoxious status symbol, but I haven’t been disappointed with mine. I dropped an admitted obscene amount of money during a trip when my work-issued brief-tank (an enormous, up-armored briefcase that can hold a laptop, printer, two reams of paper, files, and office supplies for 2 weeks) failed. I worked for a Washington heavy-hitter at the time who was used to having 100% functionality of the office when we were on the road. We traveled often, and we traveled heavy. My brief-tank failed in NYC, and I’d been eying Tumi. I made the leap.
It’s traveled with me all around the world, from puddle jumpers and private jets to 777’s and Amtrak. I haven’t regretted it once, and it’s held up well to all the abuse I’ve thrown at it. They’re also magical when it comes to just how much you can get into them and your clothes still come out nice.
That said, I’m under no illusions that the same factories that manufacture Tumi most likely also make other quality brands. Thanks for your review of these quality alternatives!
I always do carryon’s – for Disney it’s easy – I take half the clothes I need for the trip and do laundry one day while at the pool. I purchased a Samsonite with the 4 wheels 3 years ago and absolutely love it! I will never go back to 2 wheels! It’s so easy going through the airport and even wheels nicely through the plane and you don’t kill your back! It fits perfectly in the overhead too. I also take my LLBean Large zippered Tote bag as my carryon. I put everything in there – including my belly bag, cameras, etc – (since you can only take 2 items onboard) – and it fits perfectly under the seat in front of me. Carryon saves a lot of headaches & money too!
Laundry on pool day sounds like a great plan!
An excellent post, but what I really need to comment on is the fact that you have posted maybe the cutest cat photo ever.
I’ll be curious if you still manage to pack as light if/when you have a child. We’ve found checking luggage to be necessary on most of our trips.
Between kid items, especially books, work laptop + accessories, camera stuff, and food packed from home I find it difficult to avoid at least 1 checked bag. And before having a child, many of our vacations were ski trips. Again, it’s hard to avoid checked luggage with skis, boots, and associated extra clothing.
No, I’m sure we couldn’t with kids! That’s why I commented that parents or those with special circumstances may not be able to do it.
I’d certainly make an exception for ski gear!
This is only really an issue for the first couple of years… and doesn’t have to be.
My children are now 8, 12, and 18… I don’t think we’ve travelled with a checked bag with them in many, many years. At least since the youngest was 4.
I second Merrick – carry on only is very doable with older kids (in our case, 15, 10 & 7 years old).
Carry-ons are also doable with younger kids! Just finished 14-days in Italy with three kids ages 6, 3, and 3 with only three carry-ons between the 5 of us! See my comment below.
My Samsonite luggage has lasted a LONG time. But I always check my luggage, especially when going to Disney. Between free bags on JetBlue and Disney delivering bags to the room it’s pretty easy!
Yeah, I can totally understand checking luggage on the way to WDW. The point wasn’t so much to avoid baggage claim, but to avoid having a ton of stuff to slow you down.
Our friends like their TravelPro bags. We have had great luck with Briggs and Riley for many years and have seven pieces (1 tote, 3 wheeled carry ons, 3 checked bags). The airlines have tried to destroy them but B&R stands behind their lifetime warranty. We have had wheels, frame pieces and zippers replaced at no charge. Their turn-around time is also very good.
They are quite heavy and expensive but a good investment. And they have the best wheels of any luggage that I have tried. Nothing compares for rough surfaces.
When Sarah’s Tumi roller fails, we might just have to pick up a Briggs & Riley bag. I’ve heard enough good things (from people who were also dissatisfied with Tumi) to think they’re probably worth the money. Thanks!
I am a national consultant and travel constantly for work, so I really enjoyed your article. I used to go through one or two suitcases a year. I tried 7 or 8 brands. They would just wear out–the zippers would break, the edges would fray, the wheels would come off, or the sides would get bashed in. So I finally broke down and got 3 different sizes of Briggs & Riley bags. Some of the things I loved about them were that they were lightweight, they were perfect rectangles (rounded corners lop off some of your packing space!), and they had that lifetime warranty. They also came in green! Because I refuse to buy black suitcases! A few years later, my B & Rs are still around; HOWEVER, they have probably worn out just as much if not more than any other brand. The telescoping handles have broken twice each on all 3 suitcases! The ratcheting system inside the bags that expands them has broken in both suitcases, the edges are fraying on 2 of them, and a zipper on the outside is about to go. The great thing is, Briggs & Riley will fix everything (for a minor service charge), but for someone who travels as much as I do, it’s difficult to find time to take them in and be without my suitcases. I will not buy Briggs & Riley again. As a former flight attendant, I remember my sturdy TravelPro and will probably be looking at one of those next (if they have it in any other color than black)! So thanks for your review of the FlightCrew4.
My husband and I don’t check bags either unless we’re going cross country and packing camping gear for a marathon national parks road trip. We have this set, which is fabulous because it’s a) lightweight, so you will have a hard time going over the 50 lb limit b) roomy and easy to pack and c) easy to pull things in and out of. The medium sized bag is good for a large carry on, and the shoulder bag fits a TON. The bigger bag we use for longer trips where we’ll be checking a bag.

I’d imagine once we start taking our tent to the National Parks, we’ll have to check bags, too. We’ve always been satisfied with LL Bean stuff (never tried their luggage, though).
Ah tent camping is all part of the Nat’l Parks fun 🙂 Not really, but it’s amazing how long you can stay on vacation when your accommodations are $15 per night or less. Side note: in order to maintain marital bliss and sanity, we recommend sticking with the 3 nights in a tent, 2 nights in a motel ratio.
For our camping gear, we use this Tumi bag that we bought at AAA for less than half the price listed on the Tumi website. We can fit a tent, one sleeping bag, and 2 sleeping pads, and a couple flashlights in this. This bag is seriously huge, but lightweight enough that it still won’t exceed the 50 lb limit not matter what you put in it.
