There are many factors involved in planning a tour that we need to keep in mind. Before embarking on our exciting trips and adventures, we try to book the cheapest flight and accommodation. But one thing we should not skip is packing our clothes in a travel bag that suits our style and personality. Be it mountains, beach or jungle, our luggage bags are a constant companion during our travels. And who’s complaining that bag can double as our most fashionable accessory? We all go crazy for seeing pictures and videos of our favorite actors flaunting an array of styles like bags and outfits to the paparazzi and the world. The good news is that as the Indian luggage scene gets a design upgrade, we can show ourselves off as a fabulous airport look with a sense of pride and excitement with colorful luggage bags. In this context, new-age digital-first brands are making our travel experiences truly efficient, fun and memorable by offering a wide range of affordable travel bags and accessories so that we can fly in style within our budget.
Shruti Kedia Daga, Head of Marketing, Nasher Miles shares a quick guide on some things to consider before buying your next travel companion
Consider the material and durability of the luggage
Before buying a travel bag, be sure about your choice for the material used in the luggage bag. There are two main categories related to material—soft-sided and hard-sided luggage—both durable. The hard-sided luggage is made of polycarbonate material that has negligible chances of cracking during travel. Hard-sided cases are usually sturdier and built to withstand hard impact strength. The polycarbonate composite film also embraces heat distortion resistance against attacks from chemicals and abrasion, thereby increasing the durability of the travel bag.
On the other hand, soft-sided luggage is lightweight as well as strong because of its premium flexible fabric made of superior quality polyester. Soft-sided bags are recommended for trekking or overland trips where luggage is carried on vehicles or carried by animals.
The only difference is that soft-sided bags are highly recommended for places with less space (such as hotel rooms in Europe), as we need to open the top to remove clothing and other items. In contrast, hard-sided bags must be fully unzipped to access items packaged in different sections.
check the number of wheels
Earlier, travel bags usually had two wheels which had several advantages and disadvantages. The nice thing about wheelie bags is that when they are slung upright, they stay put and don’t roll. But, they are difficult to maneuver. In contrast, four and eight wheels allow the travel bag to be pushed and pulled in multiple directions with ease, convenience, and added stability.
Keep an eye on travel bag size, weight and storage
Travel bag size and weight are essential factors to consider before flying, as each airline has different baggage policies. For heavy bags, passengers have to pay a fee, while light bags are easy to carry and carry. Hence, you should check the actual weight of the travel bag before buying it. Regarding storage, travel bags from major brands can be nested inside each other. Small bags fit medium and medium sized large bags.

Don’t Forget the Color and Design
Dull colors and designs have become outdated nowadays, as they look boring. Driven by innovation, the leading luggage brand introduces travel bags with a playful color palette and playfulness. They design and engineer each travel bag (such as trolley bags, backpacks, suitcases and duffle bags) in a way that helps the modern and contemporary traveler differentiate themselves with style. To top it all, travelers can easily spot the colorful travel bags on the luggage carousels at airports without any confusion and hassle.
see handle type
An essential feature is the ergonomically designed telescopic handle which can be folded away when unused. It provides much-needed ease, comfort and better balance during travel, thereby preventing back pain and preventing luggage from becoming a headache for passengers. In addition, single-pole handles tend to be sturdier. Also, it is important to check the length of the handle so that you do not have to bend over to use it.
Consider the warranty period
Each item has a different warranty period (like six months, one year, two years, five years or lifetime). You should read the product description to find out which warranty specifications apply to your product and check whether a brand offers a nationwide warranty, an international warranty, or both. In case of damages caused due to misuse, the brands have excellent after-sales services like dedicated service centers to repair wear and tear of the bags.
wrapping up
Buying a travel bag may sound simple, but for a truly memorable experience, it’s a game-changing decision. The above factors will help the wanderlust soul in you and streamline your options for your next holiday trip as per your preferences.
