Which suitcase suits me?

Traveling by train

Trolleys with 4 wheels can be perfectly pushed through the aisles of train carriages with the narrow side forward.

Traveling by car

For car journeys, soft-sided trolleys have an advantage over hard-shell suitcases. Due to their flexible design, you can make ideal use of the boot volume. This means you can sometimes squeeze things in and the space is used optimally.

Traveling by plane

Hard-shell suitcases are the ideal companion for air travel. Thanks to the rigid and stable surface, your belongings are optimally protected. Also if your suitcase should fall off the baggage carousel.

Packing like a pro

Packing stress before the trip? Here you will find tips on how to reduce stress before your holiday.

Folding and squeezing clothes is out. Nowadays, you roll clothes as a space-saving and wrinkle-free alternative. However, you should roll tightly and possibly leave a little space for souvenirs from your holiday.

Important and what many people always forget: Medicines should definitely be checked in with your hand luggage so that they are quickly at hand in an emergency. Laptops, cameras and mobile phones also belong in your hand luggage, as the main luggage could be lost. In addition, electronic devices can be damaged during rough transport at the airport. An additional advantage is that you always have things handy in your hand luggage.

Be sure to remember:

Liquids and creams belong in the main luggage. Only containers under 100 milliliters are allowed in hand luggage and are best packed in a transparent bag or the designated liquid bags. On average, 50 tons of drinks and cosmetics are sorted out at airports every month and every passenger gets annoyed when they have to give up their expensive cosmetics or bottles because they didn't think of the rule.

Don't pack too much! A big mistake is always packing unnecessary things for fear of forgetting something. Usually, you only wear your favorite clothes, similar to everyday life, and the rest stews in the suitcase. Hairdryers and towels are usually available in the hotel. So it's better to pack space-savingly.

Pack heavy items such as shoes and jeans at the very bottom. Socks and underwear can be rolled up and stuffed into shoes or used as filler to pad out empty spaces. Smart clothes such as shirts, good trousers and evening dresses that should not be creased are best placed flat on the bottom of the suitcase or behind the net.

Last but not least: Secure your luggage! Preferably with a TSA lock, as these can be opened by airport staff with a universal key so that the suitcase is not damaged!

Packing shirts wrinkle-free

If there is no iron available on site, you should pay attention to how to correctly combine a shirt with other items of clothing when packing your suitcase.

Placing heavy items at the bottom and lighter things on top is the best way to prevent a mess in the suitcase, even if it is subjected to stress. Wrinkles in clothes occur when heavy shoes, books or similar items in the suitcase press on lighter things and push them out of shape.

It is also helpful to pack shirts or evening dresses separately beforehand, for example in a bag or in tissue paper. In addition, you can place a folded blanket between the heavy and light items.

The size of the suitcase should also be right and adapted to the item of clothing that is to remain wrinkle-free. Suitcases that are too small often cause softer things to bend at the edges. So when buying a suitcase, you should already consider what type of clothing is to be transported.

Avoid excess baggage?

The handy luggage scale fits in every suitcase and prevents additional costs at check-in.

The holiday is coming up, suitcases are packed - but how heavy is the suitcase? Excess baggage can put a heavy strain on your wallet. With the mobile luggage scales, you can avoid expensive excess baggage - also ideal for the return journey when the purchased souvenirs weigh down the scales.
