How to choose the right cabin suitcase

When investing in a new cabin suitcase, you should carefully consider your specific travel needs. To find the right cabin suitcase, it is helpful to consider the following:

• Check the airline’s maximum dimensions: Different airlines often have specific requirements for the maximum size of cabin luggage. Choose a cabin suitcase with a capacity that makes optimal use of the available space without exceeding the airline’s carry-on baggage rules.
• Choose the right material: A hard-shell cabin suitcase provides excellent protection for belongings and electronics against knocks and pressure in tight luggage compartments. Its durable exterior also means the cabin suitcase can easily be wiped clean with a damp cloth after your journey.
• Focus on rolling comfort and wheels: A good telescopic handle combined with smooth-rolling, high-quality wheels makes a big difference when you need to walk long distances with your cabin suitcase.

Frequently asked questions about cabin suitcases

How large can a cabin suitcase be?

The permitted dimensions for cabin luggage can vary between airlines, but a standard cabin suitcase is often around 55 × 40 × 20 cm. A cabin suitcase with a capacity of between 38 and 45 litres will usually fit well in the overhead compartment. However, always check the relevant airline’s rules before departure.

What is the advantage of a hard-shell cabin suitcase over a soft one?

A hard-shell cabin suitcase provides significantly better protection for its contents against knocks, pressure and impacts during your journey. If you are carrying a laptop, camera equipment or other fragile items in your cabin suitcase, the hard shell provides the best possible protection.

Are cabin luggage and carry-on baggage the same thing?

Not exactly. Carry-on baggage is a general term for all luggage that you are allowed to take on board the aircraft. Most airlines allow both a cabin suitcase and a smaller bag that can be placed under the seat.
