Every time I go to the baggage carousel to pick up my luggage, I pray it’s in one piece. Imagine it was open and the contents were spilled onto the carousel for all fellow travellers to see! We’ve all seen the viral videos of baggage handlers throwing suitcases around without a care, so it’s worth investing in a well made, quality suitcase (and a TSA approved lock).

I scoured Amazon to find the best checked in luggage so you don’t have to. Here’s my research and what I found.

What I’m looking for in checked luggage

Size – if you checking in luggage, it must mean you’ll be away for longer than a city break. The minimum packing capacity of the suitcase on this list is 100L. You can also increase internal luggage capacity with packing cubes.

Outer Material – While there are several options when it comes to outer suitcase material, I prefer

Cost – I’ve tried to cater for all budgets in my selection of suitcases, but I believe the minimum amount you need to spend is £70 for checked luggage that is going to last more than one trip away.

Retailer – Why buy your checked luggage from Amazon? You’ll often receive, fast and free delivery. Perfect when you find out you need a new suitcase last minute! And you’ll often find out of season luggage from the best luggage brands in the world like Samsonite and Antler, meaning you can grab a bargain.

I’m a huge fan of the brand Tripp who have been making luggage for 20 years. Tripp make quality luggage at affordable prices. Their Holiday series features a polypropylene shell and looks you’d expect to cost more than £100. The bright, sunshine yellow Holiday suitcase will only set you back £85. It’s also Good Housekeeping Approved in 2022.
