You are only moments away from going on your dream holiday. In your wardrobe, you have your passport, your swimwear and... your old bag. Maybe it's time to swap it for a modern, designer suitcase that you can carry on the plane with ease and keeps your things perfectly organised. Here we present trendy and practical cabin bags - choose the perfect model for you!

The cabin suitcase, a symbol of the modern age

We can take the cabin suitcase with us on the plane - it makes travelling fast and convenient!

There is a scene in the film Up in the Air when the protagonist, Ryan Bingham (played by George Clooney), orders his co-worker Natalie Keener (Anna Kendrick) to repack from a large suitcase into a cabin suitcase just before the flight... After all, a cabin bag doesn't need to be registered, you can walk quickly through the airport with it, and besides, you don't have to wait for it when you land! Anyone familiar with travelling by plane will know that a cabin bag is a must. You can take it as extra baggage on a plane or as your main baggage for a short trip. You won't be able to fit much in it, but you can certainly fit the essentials!

Stylish... and the right size

Whether travelling for business or private holidays, a stylish and functional suitcase is what will make you feel at home anywhere on earth. Its content will make even the remotest corners of the world "ours" for a while.

When searching for the right cabin suitcase, the main focus is on its dimensions. The maximum dimensions required vary depending on the airline but are usually in the region of 55x20x40 cm. A cabin suitcase should have two or four wheels and be comfortable and stylish.

Design on wheels

Cabin suitcases are available with four and two wheels. The former can be pushed comfortably in front of you in an upright position, while the latter is suitable for pulling behind you in a slightly inclined position. The main difference, however, is not in the manner in which they are used, but in their dimensions - cabin suitcases with two wheels are smaller, as the wheels are "blended" into the frame of the suitcase. Four-wheelers tend to take up more space, as they are an additional element on the outside of the suitcase. While the dimensions vary, the capacity remains the same (40 litres), so if you want to make it as compact as possible, opt for a model with a pair of wheels.

Cabin suitcases have gained popularity and recognition primarily because of their durability. They are also lightweight and highly manoeuvrable. The smaller sizes are also ideal for young children as they are easy to handle, even when filled to the brim.
