When planning a short getaway or a business trip, choosing the right bag can make all the difference.
Between trolley bags and weekend duffels, which option best suits your needs? It depends on the type of trip, lifestyle, and personal preferences. Below, we present a comparison to help you choose the ideal solution.
Trolley Bags and Suitcases: Practicality and Organization for Your Travels
Trolley bags are an ideal choice for those seeking convenience and order. With wheels and a telescoping handle, they allow for easy transport even over long distances and offer multiple compartments to keep your items well-organized, making them perfect for weekend trips and business travel.
What are the advantages of trolley bags?
- Easy to transport: Convenient for moving through airports, stations, and long walks.
- Protection: Hard-shell models provide better protection for contents against bumps and damage.
Capacity and organization: They come with several compartments that help organize clothes, shoes, and accessories.
And the disadvantages?
- Noise and discomfort: You have to drag it on uneven surfaces, which generates noise, and carrying it by the handle can be uncomfortable.
- Air travel considerations:
-
High fees applied by airlines even for carry-on bags.
-
Often, they are stored in the airplane's hold, leading to a delay in retrieval and the risk of lost luggage.
-
- In car travel: Less adaptable to smaller spaces.
- When not full, clothes shift and wrinkle, while in a duffel, they stay more stable even when not fully packed.
- Less flexibility: Bulky in tight spaces, such as trains or ferries.
- Weight: Even when empty, trolley bags tend to be heavier compared to a Weekend Duffel.
If you're looking for a solution that guarantees comfort and protection, take a look at suitcases from brands like Bric's and Rimowa. Their weekend suitcases combine design and functionality for the modern traveler.
