No two trips are the same, so your luggage should be tailored to the type of trip. For check-in luggage, we recommend sturdy and lightweight trolley suitcases made of materials such as polycarbonate or aluminum. A medium-sized suitcase (approx. 65cm high, approx. 60 liters) is ideal for short trips, while a larger suitcase (approx. 75cm, approx. 80 liters) is preferable for longer stays. A stylish backpack or a chic men's travel bag are ideal as hand luggage and can also be used for excursions at your destination.

Special tips for optimizing your hand luggage:

Use your men's travel bag as hand luggage, ideally a travel bag that can be expanded. This way you can also use small gaps in the overhead cupboards in the aircraft cabin and expand your luggage if necessary. In addition, a travel bag for women offers plenty of space and options for optimizing the weight of your checked luggage.

Ideally, you should keep your cosmetics in a small, transparent toiletry bag. This saves time at security checks. Regardless of the time of year, you should always have a woolen scarf or a light down jacket with you. You can use this to protect yourself from strong air conditioning or as a pillow.

Attach a luggage tag to each piece of luggage that contains your address and contact details. This way, your luggage can be clearly identified.
