European Travel Luggage

"Travelling Light"

One of the most difficult tasks before each trip is trying to “travel light”. I have purchased many different makes and models of luggage over the years. Suitcases should be only as large and as heavy as you can carry yourself….You will not have to depend upon others for help….and most important, your back will thank you! 

Listed are some companies that carry large selections of top brands of travel luggage.  This industry has grown over the years and made many changes due to the airline travel restrictions.

Packing Cubes

I use packing cubes on all my trips.  I did not think I would like them but they are easy to use and are compatible with my luggage.   In many small European hotels, there is almost no furniture or storage capacity and these clever packing tools give you many options and do save space. They can work for you like a portable storage chest.

Carry on luggage

You need to check with your airline to find the baggage requirements for checked and carry-on items.  The information varies between airlines, destinations and countries. 

The restrictions change from time to time, so be sure to check again just prior to your flight. If your flight originates in the USA, you need to check with TSA (Transportation Security Administration) to find out what items you can bring on board and what items need to be purchased in the secured areas of the airports.  Many countries follow the United States TSA recommendations.  3-1-1 for carry-ons = 3.4 ounce bottle or less (by volume) ; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3.4 oz. container size is a security measure.  This procedure is mandatory in the USA but is not always required in European airports.
