Travel Bags for Travel and Leisure

A travel bag is therefore just as suitable for holidays and weekend trips as it is for workouts, ski trips and other leisure activities.

At Biltema, you will find travel bags for different needs. Choose a smaller all-purpose bag when you want to pack light, or a large wheeled travel bag when you need considerably more space. If you would like to compare other options, you will also find suitcases for both short and long trips.

Which Travel Bag Should I Choose?

Base your choice primarily on how much you need to pack, how the bag will be transported and what it will be used for.

A smaller travel bag is convenient when you do not need to pack very much. Biltema offers smaller all-purpose bags in a format that makes them practical to pack and stow in a car boot. They can also be used as ski boot bags, meaning bags in which you can store your ski boots.

If you need more packing space, a larger bag may be a better option. Biltema offers larger travel bags featuring wheels, telescopic handles, detachable shoulder straps and several compartments, making them suitable for larger amounts of luggage.

Therefore, consider:

• Size and capacity: How much do you need to fit in the bag?
• Carrying comfort: Will the bag be carried over short or long distances, or would a wheeled model be more suitable?
• Storage: A soft travel bag is practical if you want it to be relatively easy to store when not in use.
• Intended use: Will it primarily be used for travel, in the car, at the gym or, for example, for ski equipment?
• Air travel: If you plan to use your travel bag as cabin baggage, you need to check the bag’s external dimensions and the airline’s current rules. Permitted dimensions and weight vary between airlines.

Benefits of a Travel Bag

One of the main benefits of a travel bag is its flexibility. Unlike a hard-shell suitcase, a soft bag can be easier to adapt to your luggage and the space where it will be stored.

This makes a travel bag particularly practical for car journeys, where soft bags can be easier to arrange alongside other luggage.

However, if you are flying and prefer a bag that retains its shape, a cabin bag or traditional suitcase may be a better option. You can also complement your luggage with practical travel accessories or a backpack for items you want to keep within easy reach.

Travel Bags for Holidays, Workouts and Leisure

A key strength of a travel bag is that it does not have to sit unused between trips. Depending on its size and design, it can be used for clothes on a weekend trip, workout gear, luggage for a driving holiday or equipment for various leisure activities.

This makes a travel bag a versatile choice for anyone who wants one type of bag for several different uses. Choose the size and features based on how you travel and how much you usually pack.

Frequently Asked Questions About Travel Bags

What Size Travel Bag Do I Need?

That depends mainly on the length of your trip and how much you need to pack. A smaller bag may be sufficient for shorter trips, while longer trips or bulkier items require greater capacity. Also bear in mind that the bag’s dimensions, not just its volume in litres, are important if it will be used as cabin baggage when flying.

Can a Travel Bag Be Used as Cabin Baggage?

Yes, a travel bag can be used as cabin baggage if its dimensions and weight comply with the airline’s rules. The rules vary between airlines and ticket types, so always check the current requirements before travelling.

What Is the Difference Between a Travel Bag and a Suitcase?

A travel bag usually has a softer, more flexible construction, while a traditional suitcase is often more rigid. The best option therefore depends on how you travel, how much you pack and how you want to transport your luggage.
