Choosing the right luggage depends on your travel needs, preferences, and the type of trip you're taking. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you pick the best luggage:

Consider how much you pack and the duration of your trip:
Carry-On Luggage (20-22" / 50-56 cm) : Best for short trips (2-5 days) or as a supplement to checked luggage. Must comply with airline size restrictions (check your airline’s rules).
Medium Checked Luggage (24-26" / 60-66 cm) : Good for 1-2 week trips.
Large Checked Luggage (28-32" / 70-81 cm) : Ideal for long trips or heavy packers.

Hardshell Suitcases (Polycarbonate/ABS) : Durable, water-resistant, and scratch-resistant. Best for air travel and protecting fragile items.
Softside Luggage (Nylon/Polyester) : Lightweight, flexible, and often have expandable compartments.
Spinner Luggage (4 wheels) : Easy to maneuver in airports (360° rotation).
Rolling Luggage (2 wheels) : More stable on rough surfaces but harder to push long distances.
Backpacks/Duffel Bags : Great for adventure travel, minimalists, or as a personal item.

Lightweight luggage is best for avoiding airline weight limits.
Reinforced corners and strong zippers (e.g., YKK) improve durability.
Look for water-resistant materials if traveling to rainy destinations.

TSA-approved locks (for US travel).
Expandable zippers for extra packing space.
Multiple compartments for better organization.
Built-in USB ports (if you need to charge devices on the go).

Kind advice:
Best for Business Travel: 22" Carry-On Spinner (e.g., Samsonite Freeform).
Best for Family Vacations: 28" Expandable Hardshell (e.g., Travelpro Maxlite).
Best for Backpackers: 40L Travel Backpack (e.g., Osprey Farpoint).
